This will make for interesting conversation at lunch...WI will look to make further in roads after SJ returned to remove TH. In the Aussie dressing room naturally the conversation will be each run counts. Australia will be looking at 250. Wi probably a 200 chase. The pitch is starting to play tricks. The one that got TH literally ran along the ground. Travis dropped on his hunches. We also had a few taking off so who knows what the afternoon and day 4 will bring. Well I am off for a spot of tea before we resume.

We cannot afford to lose this youngster. My Guyana posse, any teeth to these allegations?
One thing for sure, it is not affecting his play. Maybe he knows that he is good to go.

Is west Indies pace attack finally back to relevancy in test cricket?

During the lunch break they showed the WI Test Match 308 Chase vs Australia with an epic Lara 153* and Walsh at the other end.

Those were the fun days when crowds would run on the ground to hug up the players with police officers trying to do the impossible job of holding off jubilant supporters

Shamar Joseph to Carey, FOUR, these short balls aren't helping much. Was too short, too wide, outside off, Carey fetches it and slams the pull in front of square for a four. The ball raced down to deep mid

Huge appeal. Umpire Nitin isn't interested. They have decided to review it. Is it a strangle down leg?

62.6
Shamar Joseph to Webster, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Superb innings comes to an end. Tame end though. Was a fuller length delivery, down leg, Webster looked to clip it and ended up edging it to the keeper. The bowler appealled but the finger stayed down. But Windies decided to review and they have managed to get the 6th wicket. Huge breakthrough as Australia were taking the game away. Shamar Joseph and his team are elated.

Webster c Shai Hope b Shamar Joseph 63(120) [4s-8]

Oh, the 3rd humpire finally comes through!

But is that overcompensation for earlier ills?

Jayden Seales to Carey, FOUR, punched uppishly and just over the man at mid-off. That was a back of a length delivery outside off, Carey looked to go down the track but the shot was not timed. But he somehow got it away. The lead is more than 200 now

Jayden Seales to Carey, FOUR, short ball, angled in, four more. Carey pulled it and managed to get it fine. The ball raced away for a four. 14 runs off the over so far
63.3
Jayden Seales to Carey, SIX, straight down the ground for a sixer. Carey has decided now that he will go for it. Was a length delivery, Carey jumped down and got behind the line of the delivery to time it down the ground. The ball sailed over the ropes

The interesting thing is Webster knew he touched the ball as when Chase asked for the review he started walking off the field.

But as the on-field umpire said “not out” he didn’t initially walk

Shamar Joseph to Cummins, no run, banged in short, down leg, Cummins looked to defend and the ball slipped past him. The bowler appealled and so did the keeper. The keeper dived forward to take it. And then the bowler-keeper duo convinced their skipper to take the review but it has been lost now

Justin Greaves to Carey, SIX, a 40-ball fifty from Carey! Stunning shot. Carey danced down, got to the pitch of the ball and punched it over long-off. That was a clean hit by the southpaw as he maintained his balance while making impact. This knock is almost ensuring that this it getting beyond the hosts
