The windie tail end bunnies are pissing me off

Woke early to see Josh Hazlewood destroy the Windies in the final hour of play. Aussies were earlier buoyed by 60s each from Carey, Head and Webster that had put us firmly in the driving seat given how difficult starting is against this Dukes cherry.

Yes the Aussies got their mojo back and played well in the second innings with both bat and ball. Good we'll deserved win!

 

[Richie]

First blood to the Aussies!!!

Hey guys say we all bat like Alex, Beau and Trav against this Dukes ball as survival is not the best option as sooner or later there is a ball with you name on it.
Trav takes the MOM. For mine Josh dead unlucky given his destructive 5fer today and 7 for the match.

Well done to the middle order finally showing some fight, a 300 lead is very competitive.

Yeh, the late middle order when the Dukes ball finally softens and the seam has worn. Best time to bat. A lot of first class experience among that trio.

Those duke balls should be dispensed with; they're shit quality and not up to test level standard. I know the poms love them because it's cheat ball they all grew up with, but seriously they're so bad why use them when they go out of shape so often?

Love it. Wonder if they still use it for bazball.

Recall now. Is West Indies Cricket trying to cover this, when fact is this guy should be in prison not earning big money playing pro cricket.

Still only “accused” at this stage I think.

Aussie late middle order again with best batting conditions take us to a healthy 286 in Grenada over nite.

More than enough I think.

Konstas and especially Green both looked better despite mediocre returns. More confident.

350 was on the cards though until Carey had a brain fade shot and Webster also had a brain fade as well going for a second run he clearly was never ever going to get.

The Australian top order has some issues. Usi cooked, Konstas is still too young and not ready to be an opener for just Australia.
