Two dropped catches for Clarke so far, I saw the first one last night and it was difficult, how does the recent one compare?

As there talking on Channel 9, how often does a batsman go out to the nets and bat during the lunch break? Thought it was quite weird with Bravo doing that!!

Also, think Clarke made it look harder because he went one hand. Dont think he picked up, but should have been taken thats for sure

And now Clarke takes a blinder, a one hander off Hauritz. Nash hits a four and next ball edges one, just the same as Bravo did.

nash out for 44

WI 6/295

the windies are now in trouble

as good as Gayles 100 was - he wouldve been better off taking 270 balls and not 70 to get there

Ramdin edges one in the air, past Ponting, where a third slip would have been off Dougie.

Dougie is bowling really well at the moment! Just keeps hitting the deck, and having a crack.

Also, the big fella Benn, copped a loud "boo" walking to the crease :lol:

Hauritz gets Benn caught behind.

Benn out for 3 7/310

Looking back on it, the ball does not look that good, but it was a good piece of bowling. Realised he was going to continue to sweep, and threw the ball a bit wider and Benn went for the sweep again.

FInish it off now.

Rampaul promoted to number 9.

First ball, he leaves it and is given not out after hitting his pads.

Next ball is a cracker, not played the best and is caught behind again. 8/310

Had the crowd behind him, and he celebrated accordingly.

Well done to Dougie. First 5 fa in test cricket.

Appalling batting by the Windies more so than good bowling. Hauritz really is SSHHIITT, just made to look ok by pathetic batting at the end.

I posted this just as a I was leaving work, half an hour later I am home and see that they are all out??

Stoked to see Dougie take a michelle though!

Aussies are not enforcing the follow on which is good, give the bowlers a rest as they have worked pretty hard despite the collapse by the Windies after lunch.

Good bowling by the rug today a well deserved 5 fa. I thought McKay bowled really well especially to Nash without any luck. Hauritz just keeps getting the job done as well.

Haha comedy hour at the WACA.

Not sure if it was the right call by Clarke, no need to push for a single there.. should have been a run out but terrible fielding and it ends in overthrows.

1/15 Katich bowled by Rampaul.

Just after another episode between Nash and Watson with what looked to be some colourful language :)
