West Indies v Australia

Meanwhile at Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad:

Aus 267/6 at Lunch on day 2

Third successive failure for Ponting in the series 4, 14, 7

Hussey 54* to the rescue .. as always

re: West Indies v Australia

Top scored with 73 off 207 balls with four 4s and a 6. :hypo: Immense performance on a pretty hard batting surface by Hussey (the spin is pretty tough to play), and probably the biggest reason why Australia crossed the 300 mark. They’re cruising now with West Indies 49/3.

Final Day:

Australia 311 & 160/8d

West Indies 257 & 53/2

good declaration once again by Australia but it seems as if rain will have the final say

Target for Windies 216. They require another 162 runs with 8 wickets in hand (overs remaining: 50)

2.40pm It has got worse at QPO. Rain getting heavier. “If they do come back, a significant loss of overs favours the Windies more - they could treat the match almost as a T20, with much less fear of being bowled out.” Robert Cratchit, I was thinking the same.

That’s all folks. :bulbuli: Match drawn. Saved by the rain!

Re: West Indies v Australia

West Indies were competitive in all three tests but the current side just lacks the killer instinct plus the ability to finish games. All three tests could have gone either way

1st test - Aus won by 3 wickets in bad light
2nd test - rain ruined what could have been a dramatic finish
3rd test - Aus won by 75 runs (not a huge loss over 5 days cricket)

Chanderpaul was consistently good (1 hundred and 3 fifties in 6 innings) averaging 86.50 with the bat
