There was a time when touring sides were afforded respect and got to play warm-up matches against Shield sides on the major grounds.
The Windies will lift significantly for the Hobart Test next week.
Based on what?
Based on the fact I have $150 on Australia winning 3-0. Me betting against teams tends to lift them
I simply can't see any other result. The fact Australia's team is a little unsettled I think actually hurts the Windies as you have 5 or 6 guys who need to perform to cement spots in the team moving forward. I expect no mercy to be given by the likes of Burns, Marsh x 2, Voges, Siddle, Pattinson and when Uzi returns I'm certain he will be looking to carry on his rich run of form.
Complacency is our only enemy and I think this group is hungry enough to prevent any issues with that.
Put simply, this Windies group lack the talent to be competitive against Australia at home.
