Bailey, interesting. Played superbly in the Ryobi Cup final and maybe deserves a shot to see if he can make it at the international level. I'm not convinced, but all the best to him, hope he does well.

Won't be able to see any of this unfortunately, except for replays.

We're a bit light on the bowlers, obviously relying on Watson and Christian to bowl a fair few.

I won't be watching this game, unfortunately WI games are on at a terrible time

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Funny I thought we had a better balanced lineup. Hussey will (should) bowl.

That WI team should not beat us.

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

I still maintain the Windies should be using Dwayne Bravo as an opener. The Australians will absolutely love bowling to Charles, they need someone at the top who can take the attack to the bowlers.

Great to see Russell and Narine play though. I'm sure even Australian fans will like watching them.

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

watson and warner opening. was looking forward to seeing rampaul but not playing. WI have just used up their only review in the 2nd over. ah, DRS.

i think i've seen russell's haircut but not his cricket

Finally people in WA get something Good hitting Watto

That was close.. lucky Watson.

Very lucky, it's poor when ump's and DRS can't get it right. That was out!

warner playing the forrest innings

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

gee not like Watto to waste a review.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Warner needs to rorate the strike. If he is going to bat slow, he has to at least get singles.

I think Forrest may have forgotten he's not playing Tests yet.

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Wade-esque

 

[Chris25]

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Narine is going to be fun to watch. Absolutely dominates the domestic scene in the West Indies. Can't wait until he gets to team up with Bishoo.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Don't break a sweat, guys.

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Interesting Wade down the order, I actually like him there.

 

[dumb]

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

run rate dipping under 4 an over. we took these tactics into the world cup and they made us look very average. forrest slow even by forrest standards.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Australia to get fined for a slow over rate.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Forrest... really?

 

[Torz]

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Forrest just needs to try something. Slog sweep the spinners or use his feet. At the moment he's just looking to survive on the back foot.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Considering our batting lineup is so deep (Christian due to come in at 8) I think the West Indies have just done us a big favour by getting Forrest out.

 

[Chris25]

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Baugh should have fumbled that one. Getting Forrest out only helps the Australians.

But how great is it to see Marlon Samuels not only back, but bowling again? He has always been one of my favourite players.

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT)

Forrest finally out.

I hope the selectors fascination with him in the ODI team runs out soon.
