2nd Test Australia v West Indies Jan 25-29 1430hrs @ the Gabba

[The 747]

Bowling way too full right now. Buffet.

 

[Plugger35]

Three 4s in a row, Carey channelling David Hookes.

 

[Kuuz]

Carey walloping those pies, the swing is gone from the ball.

Still moving around.

Windies only hit 5 down at about 25 odd overs - so plenty still to pass before the ball goes soft

However - if Carey keeps crunching them like this, she’ll soften nicely

 

[k31th]

Sinclair is human :O

 

[Cuzz09]

Probably need to bat for another 50 overs to have a chance

Starc was saying the ball started going soft at 12 overs.

We might be struggling but I'm enjoying watching Jadeja smash England all over the park.

Much better than Australia being on the receiving end.

 

[Gethelred]

Never understand why mid on and off are always so wide. Should never be able to beat them on the straight side

Because it means you don't need two covers.

Anything through straight mid off the bowler should be able to get at test level.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Big Doss not giving the Windies bowlers any credit lol

 

[brutus76]

100 up for Hartley for the Poms in his first test - bowled pretty avg. TBH on debut

 

[norway blue]

How good is Test cricket....

It’s the best.

Should be encouraging the drive through cover, the straight drive is a much easier shot

 

[PhatBoy]

I have a horrible, horrible feeling that the bail incident is going to be like the Langer Hobart edge for us

 

[k31th]

nicely lapped by Carey

 

[Jamurp]

I want to see this guy do a backflip.

 

[PhatBoy]

Come on Alex, where is that compulsive reverse sweep

 

[ams4crows]

That's an awesome shot Carey!

 

[MJG14]

Carey is classy through cover when on song.

 

[Plugger35]

It's getting too easy for Khawaja and Carey now, it might be time for the Windies quicks to send a few balls upstairs and give em some licks.

That's what their quicks would have done back in their good old days.

Instead they bring on their spinner to release the pressure even more.

 

[windyhill]

smith clearly not spitting enough.

How's that one?

 

[PhatBoy]

I want to see this guy do a backflip.

5 of them in quick time would be nice

Come on Alex, where is that compulsive reverse sweep

C**t

 

[largebus]

It's good to see someone standing up when it matters. Played Kez

 

[PhatBoy]

How's that one?

On the balance of probability of he tries it 2-3 more times, he will get out.

Not sure what Howie is on about wrapping him for how good he is at it. He got out to it about 9 times in 8 innings in India

This is a good little partnership between Carey and Khawaja.
