there must be rain Forecast for the draw to be that short.

Still no play, to be looked at again during programmed lunch break.

Will need to get going soon if Aussies to roll Windies twice for win.

Stuart MacGill has announced his retirement as of the end of this test.

Will Australia play four quicks for the last test with Clarke and Symonds providing the spin or will they give Casson a go?

[Hazbeen]

Still wet, Umps to inspect ground in another two hours (2:15pm local time)

[Hazbeen]

Tea break, play to start at 3:30 pm local time

[Hazbeen]

Players and Umpires making their way onto the ground, play about to start.

Well done to Stuey, for retiring on an all expenses paid trip to the Caribbean...

Why would you go to the effort of touring if you're going to retire halfway through the second test ?

Surely he would've made that decision in his mind before the tour, and hence Australia could be blooding
Casson...

Still...well played Stuey, on a good career....

Stupid comment. No, he didn't decide before going on tour. Why would he go to the effort of touring? Because he thought at the time he could compete.

Obviously he realised he wasn't up to it and pulled the pin. He's a proud man and decided he wasn't going to improve enough to deserve a spot and possibly worried he would embarass himself. If this was just a junket for him he would have stayed on tour. Even if he got dropped he'd be able to stay on tour. Now he'll just come home.

OK, in the training before hand, and his last test appearance which wasn't flattering, he had no idea the end was nigh?

If he was a proud he would have seen the signs, and known his body wasn't well enough, and pulled the pin before the tour.

As I said, well played Stuey. Good luck with the future, as a Sommelier...

Bravo Given out caught down the leg side off his Hip!
Ramdin and Sammy both given out LBW to Balls Clearly hitting the pads OUTSIDE the Line of OFF stump Playing a Shot!

HOORAY......TIFFIN Finally got a Decision Right

Brett Lee makes a mess of Taylors Stumps. Pretty hard to get that Decision Wrong u Idiot.

Another LBW and actually this one Fullfilled the criteria for an affirmitive decision to the appeal.
I Suppose if u keep giving them, u will eventually get one right.

WI 9/341 but cant help but think that they would still be only be 4 out if it wasn't for the original **** up to give Bravo out.
