Great win by the Windies. I reckon the Aussies made a big mistake declaring in the first innings when they were still trailing by 20+ runs .Probably cost them in the end given they lost by about ten runs.
Declaring while still trailing showed a distinct lack of respect to the opposition.
Also reckon they should have picked a specialist opener, smiths good innings notwithstanding. Moving smith up and bringing green in just weakened an already vulnerable middle order. On top of that with marsh in the side we already have an all rounder so I don’t see what green brings to the table.
Not sure when the next series is but the batting order selection next time will be interesting. There’s some batters who have had a very poor summer and have been getting away with it because the teams been winning.
Time to seriously consider the futures of khawaja and labuschagne, to decide which of marsh and green they want because you don’t need five fast bowlers, and to reward an opener with an opening position.
