Australia hooked and pulled themselves into trouble last night.
But boy did they have fun doing it.
Jacques, Hussey and Katich all went out playing them.
Australia lost 7 wickets and still scored at 4 an over.
This was good ol boy cricket, pissing into the wind style.
That will stop tomorrow as Beau Casson is in.
Beau bats like a cockroach.
He could survive a nuclear war (which for Australia means reverse swing).
He probably won’t make many runs, but he usually takes a lot of effort to remove.
Him and Lee put on huge numbers in partnership against the Vics, actually I'd rather not discuss that final.
So they have a history.
They are the sort of batsman who could really frustrate the Windies a lot, and then Johnson and Clark will come back in and be good ol boys again.
Gayle wants a quick finish to this innings, but you’d think the Aussies could still wiggle their way to about 300 at very worst, and that would make this a great set up.
Have I mentioned I like this wicket.
Good.
Dwayne Smackdown Bravo continued to be the best 2nd change seam bowler in world cricket.
And they brought in another new spinner, who I refuse to mention cause he will be dropped soon and never heard of again.
Also a smarter man than I, put my Michael Clarke theory, that he doesn’t make runs when the score is less than 150, to the test.
He agreed with me.www.cricketwithballs.com
