1st Test WI v SAf, Port of Spain, Jun 10-14, 2010

In 2 decades from '76 to '96, WI's win/loss ratio was an awesome 3.13. They won 72 tests out of 151 they played during this period and lost only 23.

Would be interesting to see Aus's win/loss ratio during their golden run from '95 onwards. Or is it from '99? I believe its latter.

poor cricketers. i doubt too many in south africa would be watching this match. the cricketers themselves probably wish they were home for the biggest event on the planet

since 95 - 3.48
since 99 - 4.38

From 97/98 to 2008 the Oz win/loss ratio was 5

85 wins and 19 losses

The overall win/loss ratio for the last twenty years has been 3.18

137 wins and 42 losses

Thats even better than WI's finest hour.

Awesome Australia.

Cheers TO and embee.

Nobody can top England 2003-2005.

Fark, how spoiled were we in this great era, lead by TGM and tgm??

Qunts.

Even this thread has been turned into a celebration of Kangaroo Glory.

Benn bowls Harro.

Ah Shillingford gets his man Kallis.


Ohhhh hellloooooo.

You turned into a mixture of Mark Nicholas and Leslie Phillips, Smerky?

isn't that when they got their arses handed to them by none other than Shoaib(Akhtar)....

Not during that timespan nope.

As for this match, WI can never finish off sides can they?

Yeah but which qunts hold the Ashes?

Geez, the Ganjas had the Yarps in all-sorts at 5-107 but looks like an excellent 2nd half of the order effort by the Saffies.

Benn with 5 wickets??!!

2nd 5 wicket haul in a row for Big Benn. I thought Shilly pretty muchy outbowled him though tbh and should have got more overs.

It's yet another one of those 'what if' moments where I am lamenting the absence of Roach and Taylor to finish off the tail. Given the depleted batting lineup we are playing in this match I severely doubt we will get near 350.

But SA doesn't have a spinner and the pitch may not suit their quicks.

Another SA series.

Another batch of the same old BS

Windies will probably make less than half of South Africa's 1st innings total

Windies in all sorts. Although one shocking decision. Now up to Gayle and Chanders to rescue the innings. Gayle bowled as i type.

Morkel is starting to fulfil is potential. He was their best bowler against the poms and bowled well without the wickets to his name that Steyn got against India. Was also their best in the ODIs. Poor from the Windies. Their rate of scoring is also terrible.

Damn, this is a bit of an ass-kicking for this WI

so disappointing that there is really not much to talk about other than Morkel and Steyn
