Re: Australia in the West Indies
Australia declared overnight at 6/244, Andrew Symonds finished 43 not out.
That set West Indies a target of 372 runs from 90 overs. So far they're 2/64 in reply, both wickets to fall, Devon Smith and Xavier Marshall fell very early, Smith was out to Brett Lee in the fifth over for a duck and Marshall was out about 30 mins later for five courtesy of a rare Stuart Clark bouncer.
Ramnaresh Sarwan is lookin in good touch though and has moved up to 43 with Runako Morton on 13. Australia will be looking to get Sarwan as quick as they can and go through the West Indies batting card in a similar fashion to the first innings.
308 needed off a minimum of 74.4 overs. Required run rate is 4.14.

Re: Australia in the West Indies
Brett Lee's first ball of his second spell is a wicket. Lee manages to nip one off the pitch back into Runako Morton whose foot movement is non-existant and he is plumb in front.
3/84 now with Sarwan up to 60. Shiv Chanderpaul walks to the crease, this partnership will either make or break West Indies now.

This is the one, the Windies depend on this partnership. Would love to see one of these two ton up and have them really make a good fist of this.

Re: Australia in the West Indies
With regards to Tiffin, I saw him in the IPL, and the one game I saw of him, he made three terrible general field calls in about 2 overs.
He's an absolute shocker!

Re: Australia in the West Indies
Beau Casson is going to play as will Brad Haddin despite a broken finger. I'm cringing at the prospect of Casson being introduced on those flat pacemen decks in the Carribean. Chris Gayle - back in the side - Shiv Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan will take to him like there's no tomorrow. I would've liked us to play four quicks (Ash Noffke or Doug Bollinger). I also would've liked to see Luke Ronchi play, it would be good to see how he shapes up at international level.

Re: Australia in the West Indies
Australia are batting on a fast, bouncing wicket with overcast clouds
Jaques was striking the ball well before falling to a good catch by Ramdin for 31
Taylor also removed Ponting for 18 and now Bravo has sent Huss back to the pavilion
Aussies in trouble at 3/96
Taylor has 2/29

Re: Australia in the West Indies
Haddin just fell, Casson comes in at number 8 ahead of Lee. Symo has steading making 47 and we are 6/200. Still shaky. The Windies should really bring Edwards back on, he looked dangerous albeit wayward early.

Re: Australia in the West Indies
When was the last time the Aussies did so poorly in a first innings? the end is near?
Windies are 2/52 in reply Lee has got both the openers
Chanderpaul should be batting at 3 or 4. There best batsman and always is running out of partners

Re: Australia in the West Indies
West Indies were looking good when Chanderpaul and Bravo were together but Mitch Johnson tore through the middle and lower order, taking career best figured of 4/41 and bowling out West Indies for 216. Brett Lee and Michael Clarke also got wickets to bring their tallies for the innings to 3 and 1 respectively. Beau Casson's debut was rather unimpressive, 0/43 from seven overs.
Chanderpaul was again the star for West Indies, this time he made 79 not out and single handedly got West Indies over 200. Xavier Marshall scored 39 and Dwayne Bravo made 29 before falling to Johnson.
In reply, Australia are 0/35 which doubles their lead to 70 runs. Simon Katich is 17 not out and Phil Jaques is on 13.

Re: Australia in the West Indies
Australia in total control at the moment, they're up to 0/129 on Day 3. Simon Katich has increased his score to 64 not out while Phil Jaques is up to 55 now.
West Indies have both spinners on, Sulieman Benn and Chris Gayle. None of the bowlers today have made any real impact.
Australia's lead is up to 164 and they still have 10 wickets in hand.

Re: Australia in the West Indies
Lunch came and went, Australia are 0/179, a lead of 214.
Chattergoon went off on a stretcher after suffering a very painful ankle injury. His left ankle became stuck in the grass and wenched underneath him after making a diving attempt to stop a Jaques cover-drive. He is now off to hospital for tests and it appears he won't bat in West Indies second innings.
Jaques on 89 and Katich is 77, West Indies don't really look like they are going to take a wicket soon.
