Oz tour of WI, June 25 - July 29

I know its early days in his career and harsh to judge at a young age, but Konstas has been utterly outclassed this test match. Looked scared to get anything but a tiny movement forward in, got three buffet balls on his pads but couldn't even get bat on it (he did get 4 leg byes from one, but missed the ball with all three), got dropped with a poor stroke, and then got done with a bad shot....

And I am not sure I'd pick Inglis after that leave. Comms loved the ball from Seales, but I aint crediting the bowler with that... utter suicide.

Shamar running through the Australian top order.

I hope he stays fit, because he looks a good prospect for the WIndies.

It's his behaviour off the field that I'm more worried about.

The rumours, which I obviously can't repeat here, are very disturbing.

I wasn't aware of this, it seems these are rumours just coming out. I hope there is no truth in them.....

[sussexpob]

Big chance this ends today I reckon....

Windies fielders appear to be on a different side to their bowlers. How crucial will that drop be? Have to take that its at waist height.... Head needs to cash in on his luck.

Not looking likely at the moment... Head really struggling out there to get the middle of the bat on anything.

[sussexpob]

Proving potentially match decisive that drop... Head now on 57, and considering the pitch the lead over 160 with 6 wickets left is concerning for the windies.

[sussexpob]

Kiss of death from Sussexpob... Head gets out straight after.

Australia will not mind seeing that wicket though..... ball just didn't bounce at all. Going to be tough to chase anything on this deck.

Getting treated to highlights of Lara's 153* at Bridgetown in 99 in the lunch break....

The single greatest innings I have ever witnessed.

Totally agree!

Sorry I missed that due to work.

Important middle order half centuries from Head, Webster and Carey.

Alzarri 2-65

Target 301

[sussexpob]

Perfect pitch for Hazelwood...put it in the tramline every ball, the pitch will eventually do the rest.

Beau Webster looks a great pick for Australia. Awkward technique, his shoulder gets very squared a lot, but the bat comes down straight.

Something about the Aussies picking players over optimum age that works. Always seem to play like their life depends on it

[mikesiva]

West Indies 141 all out

Shamar 44
Greaves 38

Hazelwood 5-43

Australia won by 159 runs.

I hope none of it is true...however 11 women have now apparently come forward....this is shocking if true

It's all over the internet, but nowhere that is remotely creditable as a news source as yet, and one particular allegation involving incest/pedophilia just doesn't have the ring of truth to me.... the police would never arrest someone and let them go because a family decided to "sort it out themselves"..... calling BS on that one.
