2nd test 1st session report WI v AU

Fidel Edwards replicated the moment I fell in love with cricket as he charged in for his first ball of the day and fell over.

Then he bowled an expensive over to follow it up.

Pitch looks good for batting, good idea to bring 5 quicks in for the Windies.

Obviously they were a bit uncomfortable with an attacking spinner.


That was the bit Jacques and Katich just plopped around.

Then Jacques got caught straight in front.

Boy can’t make runs unless Hayden is there to hold is hand.

Dwayne Smackdown Bravo was the break through man yet again, he has golden balls, I am sure of it.

Australia’s run rate was abysmal, and the Windies getting a wicket was a victory for cricket itself.

Ponting came in and showed intent, he was probably as bored as the rest of us.

What else happened…

Um, Ponting scored at twice the rate of Katich.

Jacques played Marsh into his spot.

Bravo looked good.

The rest of the Windies bowled very tidily.

And Australia scored at less than 3 runs an over on a pretty standard wicket.

Never a good sign.www.cricketwithballs.com

Now with new proper english lady blogger.
