Australia v Windies - Test series

[wristwatcher]

To be fair while Bravo did bat well in the end, there was a long time that he batted very selfishly. Looked a heck of a lot like he was batting to boost the average until he seemed to think he might ton up, then the shots came along. 2 runs in an hour is not the way a test batsman should be going about it.

But yeah, Nicholas the worst by miles.

I still do the ole 12th man "Smashing Baby!" Regularly after he talks. Makes him a lot more bearable

Not surprisingly having heard me go off on autistic 12th man tangents for years I got the best of Richie double CD for Xmas. Some timeless material in that lot.

Looking to boost your average means your looking to score runs and not get out, probably not the worse attitude to have

Thought his innings was perfect for the situation, there was only one way the Windies were going to get close to 300-400 and that was by keeping the aussies out in the field for as long as possible and grind them down.

What happened once he sense the ton, he played shots and got out

If he had done that on 20-40 everyone would have been calling him out as a pea heart etc etc

Interesting batting right now

Hahahahaha yes love it, I can't help but do the same!

Wish the 12th man brought out some new material to take the piss out of these current commentators.

Ian Healy you tosser, West Indies have been pacing themselves WTF what rot

If it was only half as good it would be a winner.

I think the problem might be that he would need to tackle it differently. Don't know too many punters who live to hear the commentary team these days whereas his previous work endeared us to the team. There also isn't anyone iconic really apart from Bill or Ian but some kind of Tony and Richie dream sequence to Bill and Ian to inspire them to kill the current team for not putting the game before their own agenda, ideas and self absorbed, self serving bullsh@t could be the album plot.

OK I'm on board, I'm messaging Billy Birmingham on My Face or Space Book as he would say

Ian Healy you tosser, West Indies have been pacing themselves WTF what rot

By far the biggest F**k wit calling any sport. I'd rather Listen to Kelly Underwood and that felt like being stabbed in the ear with a pick fork.

Ian Healy is bad and dribbles a lot of crap but at least he doesn't sound like he is nagging me. My podium is Underwood, Brayshaw and Brian Taylor. I wish they would all go away forever.

What about Anthony Hudson, Brian Taylor and Bruce McAvaney?

[wristwatcher]

Australia have declared

Thought they would have batted for an hour and get the lead above 500.

Probably have an 8am tee off at royal Melbourne tomorrow.

[wristwatcher]

You wouldn't want them batting for your life but the Windies openers have looked particularly comfortable in the first 25 minutes this morning.

I think we might have to work a bit harder than the previous 3 digs to remove the top order today.

[Dogwatcher]

Good.

[wristwatcher]

Garry the Goat got him. Goodbye Darryl #1

[mighty_tiger_79]

1/35

Braithwaite gone for 31

[stampy]

why declare 450 in front with 2 days to go? whatever happened to never give a sucker an even break?, i dont care who we are playing, you grind them into the dirt

[RB]

Agreed. Set them 600.

Nail hit on head, I thought he showed some balls.

[Lightning McQueen]

Please dont enforce the follow on

Aust will bat again, maybe one bowler down with Siddle evidently carrying some sort of injury

Lack of Meat

Standing next to any of the West Indians at the piss trough then I'm sure he wouldn't be a lone soldier there.

[stampy]

stfu patto and concentrate on keeping your front foot behind that line

[locky801]

Looks like a long day ahead in the field
