Go the windies would love them to roll us

That wouldn't make them a good team, that would make us a bad team.

I couldn't give a stuff about our team so unlikeable. Would love them to blow through us and win by 30 runs.

I found the Waugh/Ponting sides incredibly unlikeable, they were arrogant, ugly winners. This side seems like a bunch of nice blokes who are just as successful and we don't have to put up with the blow ups on the field or hear the off field bollocks about mental disintegration and how they'll target players.

Hilarious how every one is bitching about Green but can’t name an alternate.

Totally agree. Considering the recent form of Smith at 4, that cliff is getting closer for him sadly. Folk bang on and on about this series being the perfect opportunity for the selectors to think of the future....well Green gets a crack at 4, and after 3 innings, they are saying it's a mistake.....just roll the dice on Green till after the NZ series, and cross that bridge if needed.

 

[Cuzz09]

I want Australia to win every game.

Don't get the "hope we lose" talk

I understand a loss could force some changes etc but I hope we win first and foremost

......

Also does wet outfield, coming on and off for rain breaks the next 2 days help batting side chasing runs or bowling side chasing wickets??

Lol they were talented AF teams with personalities. These guys are bland as ****, concede the most runs against tail enders of any country and play nice guys with everyone which makes it even more boring. Least likeable team I've seen

Yeah if peoole like watching this pg Disney sport all power to them. Bloody boring to me

 

[Jamurp]

Windies probably needed to have us 3 or 4 down by now, probably about 50 runs short with the bat, think we should do this fairly comfortably, hope the weather doesn't play a part in a result, been a really decent contest.

 

[Riviat]

With the current weather forecast, cricket is still possible

Ponting has had the biggest turn around in reputation since he has retired.

For me Glenn McGrath was the worse of the lot and still is.

Anyone in Brisbane? How likely are we to get play today? Forecast looks bad but the weatherman is rarely right

No where near as successful. Get back to us when they win 3 world cups in a row, win a series in England and India.

 

[Cold Sober]

You've been told, house on a Windies win.

uh oh.

Raining now and has been persistent for a few hours.

Think the rain has set in at least to lunch time.

Matthew Hayden, and we're both Queenslanders.

Yep the competition is alot worse. Hides the fact that players that missed out in the glory years of 90s-00s like Love, Law, Hodge to name a few were actually way better than we give them credit for and would be 100 match Australian players with over 10000 runs. I'm sure of that

 

[BGman]

A right arm fast medium seam bowler?

Depends on the calibre of the r/a, f/m seam bowler, dont it. Some are club or shield standard, others Clarke or Siddle ability. Very few are better. One is Josh Hazlewood. Two guys that should be able to guage the ability of a cricketer, Ricky Ponting and Brian Lara rate Hazlewood. Lara said he is as dangerous a bowler as the great Glenn McGrath because for the same reason Ponting says, his uncanny ability to relentlessly build pressure by landing the ball in the 6-8 metre zone of uncertainty, made even more difficult by his extra hi release point...
