West Indies vs Australia, 1st Test

In reply to Narper
Narps the Aussie attack looks quite ordinary. Its a mental thing because Chase and Hope seemed untroubled. That is a good sign because no matter the situation, Aussie tend to be focused and in the moment. There is a nice breeze here at the Oval and the sun is out. Good day for cricket.

These got to fight to death. Don't give the Aussies a sniff.

Josh Hazlewood [12.0-1-23-2] is back into the attack
46.1
Hazlewood to Shai Hope, no run, a back of a length delivery angling in from outside off, Hope tries to block from the crease but gets beaten on the outside.

Australia's players head back to the middle. Chase and Hope follow them out. The umpires are changing the ball again. This will be the third ball used in 47 overs.

I need to follow up to see if we get the ball changed this often in our turn bowling. I am seeing a bit of a trend where other teams try to get the ball changed when it is not doing much for them. Can anyone say whether we asked to change the ball during Australia's innings?

Bat on men, bat on!! Quiet all the noise from the insular trolls. I don't care if you from Saba, if you playing for West Indies, I am with you. Nothing wrong with promoting your country men, just not at the expense of WI fielding the best team possible.

"RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES"

49.2
Cummins to Roston Chase, out Lbw!! Roston Chase has been trapped in front but he reviews straightaway! Umpire Richard Kettleborough had no hesitation to rule it out. Was a back of a length delivery outside off and it shaped in sharply, Roston Chase was caught in the crease as he tried to keep it out but seemed to have been beaten on the inside edge as the ball rapped him on the back pad. Is there an inside edge though? The third umpire is having a look at a few replays as the ball is close to the bat. UltraEdge reveals that there's daylight between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it reveals three reds - it would have crashed into the top of middle. A gritty knock from the Windies skipper comes to an end.

Roston Chase lbw b Cummins 44(10 [4s-1 6s-1]

3rd umpire working off a different program it seems

Difficult decision to overturn! Third umpire made the logical decision!

the guys operating the system didn't roll the last 2 frames slowly enough for ump to see that the edge occurred before the ball hit pad

Glad Bishop said it

49.6
Cummins to Justin Greaves, no run, Australia review for a caught behind. Cummins and Carey feel that there's some bat involved. Was a back of a length ball that angled down leg, Justin Greaves hopped and tried to tuck it across but seems to have missed it. There was a deflection of something as Carey caught it and appealed. Time for the replays. UltraEdge shows that there's a gap between the gloves and the ball. The deflection was off the thigh pad. Australia lose a review

And Viv was criticized for trying to 'frighten' umps? Even Stevie Wonder knew that never touched neither of Greave's bat, glove nor person!
Damned Aussies.

Third Umpire teef another

Fishing is for fishermen, Greaves.

55.2
Webster to Justin Greaves, out Caught by Carey!! A failure for Justin Greaves! The part-time seam bowling option of Webster has worked in favour of Australia. It was a good delivery actually. In the corridor of uncertainty, seemed to come in with the natural over the wicket

Justin Greaves c Carey b Webster 4(1

Need a smash around cameo from Alzharri.

This is the problem with playing its and pieces cricketers like greaves they just aint good enough at any skill.man averages early twenties with the bat

Day 2: 2nd Session

WI 154/7 (55.3) CRR: 2.77

West Indies trail by 26 runs

Alzarri Joseph, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Hope needs to farm the strike and shield the tailenders

Fcukery robbery again

57.3
Webster to Shai Hope, out Caught by Carey!!

Shai Hope c Carey b Webster 48(91) [4s-5]

Carey has taken a brilliant catch to dismiss Shai Hope. The umpires get together to check whether it has been taken cleanly or not. They refer it upstairs. Third umpire Adrian Holdstock has a look at it. Well, well, it seems that the ball has touched the ground after Carey took the catch

Ball touched the ground
