Close and lunch. Decent session.

The pitch is making quick scoring extremely difficult, and geez, Chanders seems to have become even more boring to watch in the last few months than he was before. Still, he's a great player.

ROCKETING along in this session. 18 runs in less than two overs!

What are the odds on 10 LBs in one innings?

by The One Tue 17 Apr 2012, 18:14

3 more to equal the record. 4 more to make a new one. quite possible

Here's trouble. David Warner on to bowl.

by tricycle Tue 17 Apr 2012, 18:46

Bigger trouble, weather.

by Brass Monkey Tue 17 Apr 2012, 18:54

Worth delaying the start, that's for sure.

Chandlers rapidly closing in on becoming the 10th to 10k.

by Brass Monkey Tue 17 Apr 2012, 20:31

Aye, 102 runs away. Quality record, quality player. No-one seems to mention he's nearly 38... I'd say he's a player that prospers against the better bowling sides.

by Brass Monkey Tue 17 Apr 2012, 20:46

Jesbo, Warner's getting some good grip here... and it's keeping incredibly low.

by Brass Monkey Tue 17 Apr 2012, 21:08

Cracking partnership - 114 - must admit, I whinged about the pedestrian nature of it, but it was a necessity.

by Brass Monkey Tue 17 Apr 2012, 21:16

Decent half-ton by Deonarine. Think they should stick with him for a while... they've got his bowling to put into the mix as well. Could do well in England, plays the off-spinner well and plays inside the line.

Highest 5th wicket stand by Windies against Oz at Queen's Park beating Richards & Logie's 100 in March 1984.

WI finally beginning to show some signs of a revival. Don't think they need Gayle in the mix.

I'd tend to agree with that. Just a shame Barath continues to underachieve.

Shiv is a thorn in our side. He loves batting against us. Anywho, well played on another ton v us. Mad

So the wicket hasn't been the minefield expected today? Hussey getting a wicket? WTF?

by tricycle Tue 17 Apr 2012, 21:29

Shit, Wade actually caught one clean. That's really bad luck for Deonarine.

by taipan Tue 17 Apr 2012, 21:29

So once again it's a Pom and a Saffie holding down the commentary. Bit sad after the bleats over the years about real cricket.

The referral was even more WTF.

And as I say that, we get a bit of outside colour work.

by skully Tue 17 Apr 2012, 21:31

From Dickinfo: Watson is moving gingerly after that over.

The papadam man breaks down again.

by Brass Monkey Tue 17 Apr 2012, 21:32

Woofed Deonarine a treat. I'm learning well from JGK.

That was an awful drag out of the foot, if I am going to be honest. Gave Sharapova about half an hour to knock the bails off.

by taipan Tue 17 Apr 2012, 21:33

Pattinson breaks down again. Watson looks ready to follow.

by skully Tue 17 Apr 2012, 21:36

Makes a mockery of resting Harris. Looks like they could do with his hit-the-pitch-hard, skiddy bowling right now.
