3 days play will be enough. 2 and a half will probably be enough.

The most amazing thing is that during the rain, they are showing highlights of old Aust/WI matches and it just shows the HUGE difference between the current West Indies team and those ones.

Biggest difference is the current lack of BIG TALL fast bowlers. I heard someone say the other day that all of those sort of athletes in the West Indies are taking up Basketball instead of Cricket these days.

i was speaking to courtney walsh at a function last tuesday about that very thing, and he said that those guys are watching basketball, but not playing it competitively. Basketball in the Windies is not detracting away from the cricketers.

Looks like this test has left aussie cricket with more questions than answers. considering that lara ( maybe twice ) gayle and chanderpaul appeared to get on the wrong end of some dodgy umpiring , and the windies are woeful australia has been somewhat unconvincing.


IMO clarke has to go back to pura cup ( and pull his head in ) and ponting needs a bit more tactical flair... it looks like warne gets first crack at the batting and when he fails macgill gets his crack... if macgill is to play ( and he should ) he needs to get a fair go.. not to be used to tidy up mess left by others
