1st Test: Australia v West Indies at Hobart

Mappippee,


No brainer really and in my view a decision for the captain not the coaches.

well you know my position on the coach. coach is a useless and expensive imposition on cricket teams

and 2 Jason Holder is not good enough period to be on the west indies team far less to lead it.  he has not been selected because of high talent on the levels he has been given responsibility for.  he has been given all because he is a docile controlled kid by and thought whom a young team can be homogenized and controlled

Holder from a west indian fan point of view is useless > > > >

Even more embarrassing than that performance yesterday was how all of dem were 'talking de talk' before the match.

Roach mouthing off, Coach, Ambrose et al all talking up a storm.  They're good at the media chat for sure but can't back it up on the field of play.  They should just keep their mouths shut until such time that they can 'walk de talk'

Oh well ... lemme go support the Kiwis

Day 2

New ball taken .......

Marlon's fingers all taped up ..... Lil Bravo standing with his hands in his pockets and yawning.  ....... guess that says it all ..... while AUS post a record fourth wicket partnership !!!

~Let's go OZ ~

Did Marlon punch something or someone ???

200 for Voges. Marsh a single away from his 150. Australia 474/3. Be interesting to see when Smith decides to declare.

I have seen more intensity in a snail crawling up a steep hill!


This team seems like a bunch of individuals who do not know each other and really do not care.


Even the Ramdin chirp is not as pronounced as it normally is.


Samuels a waste of space....as usual.


Ah well this could be over by teatime tomorrow... that would be merciful for all concerned.

All is not lost . I expect  the Windies to launch a massive counter attack in the remaining days
