Cummins out for 9 skying a ball straight up
Must have got carried away with Carey belting the ball everywhere at the other end
First hour after lunch we lose 2-66

 

[jadtiger]

We were bowled out for 310 and the Windies need 301 to win with 10 wickets in hand.It should be an interesting finish to the test.

 

[Stevec]

Starc gets usual wicket in the first over
But should have 2 Cam Green drops catch in Starcs 3rd over
Come on Green you can't bat at least you should take catches

How’s Hazo going?

 

[Buttface]

Marnus can still field, professional 12th man.

 

[jadtiger]

Hazlewood has picked up 5 in the 2nd innings,Windies need an unlikely target now as they are 8 down with about 180 to go

 

[jadtiger]

Lyon picked up the last 2 wickets to give us the win,once again it was bowling that won us the match.Our batting has to improve.

Ran out of gas and fell asleep about 5.45 am
2out of 3 nights up all night on top of 18 holes of golf yesterday and the pain of watching the NRL We win 5 of first 9 and lose 6 straight
Words fail me except to say that performance yesterday was pitiful

Well champion @Stevec, you'll be able to get back to normal sleep now that the Windies folded on Day 3 and the test is all over, red rover!

Solid middle order batting by the Aussies and then a fragile Windies 2nd innings (losing 10 wickets in the final session) told the story.

Telling story about the Aussies top order question marks:

 

[Stevec]

They might have lost but Shamar Joseph is a superstar
9 wickets in the match and top scores with 44 off 22 balls with the bat
Same guy single-handedly won the Gaaba test last time they out here
What a cricketer !

Lyon picked up the last 2 wickets to give us the win,once again it was bowling that won us the match.Our batting has to improve.

Our bowlers have been the heroes since around the time Clarke retired.
Great effort from them as a group again.

 

[Stevec]

Starc has a stat very difficult to duplicate
20 times he's taken a wicket in the 1st over of an innings

 

[supercoach]

Outside our test bowling lineup we have a truck load of bowlers who could do the job if required. On the other hand, our current batting line up has very little behind them putting pressure on them…and it shows

 

[Stevec]

No wonder our bowling line up win us test matches
Most wickets in tests the all time list .Since year dot
We have No 3 , 4 , 8 , 10 on the list playing in the one team

 

[Stevec]

Pat wins toss again and we bat Smith In for Inglis
Sunny in Grenada ,Wicket lòoks very grassy
A bit of a green top
Here goes !

 

[Stevec]

Konstas doing better has hit 4 boundaries in 23 off 30 balls so far
Kwajaja just hit the first 2 balls of the 8th over to the fence to take him to
15 off 22 balls . Aust 0-39 off 9 overs
Wicket almost seaming too much to get the edge
