WI tour of Australia, Dec 2 - Jan 7

Still makes a mockery of him not being fit enough.

Darn right. But it's fairly clear that this is an under strength WI side in part because the WICB has lost all control of its players. Players like Gayle have no interest in test matches or representing the West Indies when the alternative is a fat bundle of cash for playing T20. It's a sad indictment of what WI cricket has become.

While that may be true to an extent, it is frankly nonsense to say because a player is fit enough to play a few T20s they are fit enough to be playing Test cricket.

No! Ramdin drops Wee Davy off Roach. Tough chance, but poor carry even though a thin edge. Must be a slow track.

The keeper and slips are too far back.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looked a really clean edge, no soft hands.

Australia going at 8 an over. Should make at least 400 today.

Burns will have 280?

Poor bowling so far. All over the place with no obvious plan. Roach bowling quite slow as well.

[dan08]

Any international team ever scored 500 in a day?

Looks like just this one in the modern era: http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63995.html

Gabriel shows how it is done. Nice straight and on the stumps. 75/1

[Arthur Crabtree]

No surprise Burns got out that way.

Big partnership for the baggy greens (c). Not a lot of batting left after these two...

[dan08]

Starc out of the World T20! Massive blow.

Sreesanth-esque.

This is embarrassing. Warner looks like he's playing a T20 innings.

And the West Indies have managed to bowl just 17 overs in 90 minutes. Pathetic.
