Sorry - I'm going to have to play my joker. Peter Moores. If there was a Top Trumps series for the most awful/destructive coaches ever he would win on all counts. He is the equivalent of the Doomsday Device in Dr. Strangelove.

Uh oh UH oo.

Your joker is declared worthless. Cancelled like a bus ticket and discarded.

You need a new joker.

Try the "#2-3-4" Joker?

Live streaming of the tour game if anyone is interested.

Leon Johnson was being talked about as a candidate for the Windies test team but he has been dismissed for a duck

Presidents Xi 2/20 with both wickets falling to Hazlewood.

by WideWally Thu 28 May 2015, 01:28

Fawad strikes in his first over.

by skully Thu 28 May 2015, 07:35

Hazlewood 14-5-26-2, tidy.

Handy recovery from the rain break at 46/3.

Chandrika has played fc cricket for 5 years with a best score of 90. Decent innings by him considering that.

by Big Dog Thu 28 May 2015, 17:29

288/5 at stumps. Honours shared at the end of day one i'd say.

by lardbucket Thu 28 May 2015, 17:58

Fawad may have taken two wickets but he's been given some hammer, too.

'Tis the way of legspinners not called Warne.

So long as he's not another Bryce.

Actually, that's ALMOST Python. 'Is your name not Bryce?'

He's no Bryce. He takes wickets.

by lardbucket Thu 28 May 2015, 18:29

He hasn't played a Test yet.

by taipan Thu 28 May 2015, 18:40

Horrie rates him.

by lardbucket Thu 28 May 2015, 18:47

Somewhere between horrie's and Big Dog's opinion of Fawad is the reality.

In cricket as in politics!

by WideWally Fri 29 May 2015, 02:15

At lunch
President's XI 382
2 wickets each to Hazlewood, Siddle, M.Marsh, Lyon & Fawad

Australia 1/22
Rogers the man out.

by skully Fri 29 May 2015, 07:09

From Dickinfo Twitter feed...

STUMPS. S Marsh finishes 118 not out & Australia 6-205 in reply to Pres XI 382.

We were 2-131 at Tea with Bog and Vague going well. Post-Tea doesn't look too good.

Well done to Bog on his unbeaten ton.

by Growler Fri 29 May 2015, 09:51

Aye - WIndian wickets spread between the bowlers, so all contributing - but I'm surprised to see Fawad has played so little cricket considering his age.

The batting scorecard, on the other hand, looks slightly worrying. In fact, Marsh and Vogues aside - i'ts bloody awful.

by lardbucket Fri 29 May 2015, 10:01

Awful indeed.

Is Carlos Brathwaite related to Kraigg? there's no mention of it on cricinfo's profile.

Aye. Still, Warner, Smith and *cough* Twatson to come back into the Test top 7. Bog and Vague wouldn't look out of place in said top 7.

by Bradman Fri 29 May 2015, 14:52

Didn't that swing on the last day of the Kiwi match in England worry anyone?

by Big Dog Fri 29 May 2015, 18:59

WTF were they thinking playing Haddit AND Nifty? Surely one bog ordinary keeper was enough.

by PeterCS Fri 29 May 2015, 20:20

Settle, fellas. First innings of a warm-up - not the end of the world.

by PeterCS Fri 29 May 2015, 20:21

"Bog sets the standard"

they're resting the IPL players, and Watto is flying over after the birth of 2nd child. So choices were limited (hence why Siddle got a game)
