Aussies v. Windies - Second Test

Post by **Donny** » Mon Apr 21, 2003 3:02 am

Well he's now a double centurian, HAL.

Ponting reached his 200 and Gilly is 75 as Australia go to 3/524.

Ponting made a mistake and paid with his wicket.

He missed a ball down the legside and wandered out of his crease, thinking the ball hadn't been gathered by the keeper. It was.

He made 206, his highest score in Tests. Samuels was the lucky bowler but Baugh did well to complete the stumping.

Australia are now on 4/563. Gilly is 89 from 98 balls. Hogg is 16.

Waugh must still have a niggle from his injured hand.

Gilchrist is on 93 and Lara brings back his spearhead, Dillon.

Bang !! A six from the second ball and a two from the 5th. sees him go to 101 in 104 balls and remain undefeated as Waugh declares.

4/576 from 132.5 overs. Hogg was 17 n.o.

The Ponting/Gilchrist partnership ? 172.

Dizzy took a wicket in his first over and continued to bowl well for 1/25 from 13 overs.

Lara and Ganga added 158 for the 3rd. wicket before Hogg bowled the Windies captain around his legs, for 91.

At 3/186, they are 390 behind and need 190 more to avoid the follow-on.

I dont think these terminal screens support video. . . .

Da Silva is a shocking umpire. You don't bring in video umpires coz of one bad umpire, what you do is reomve the umpire. No video on lbw's. Sure you can put the tramlines on the screen but then you have to look at the side on angle as well to see how far the batsman is down the wicket as depth perception on tv is not good plus it wastes too much time.

Lets get some decent umpires. Pick the 8 best umpires in the world for your panel, not one from each nation or however it works at the moment.

Back to the game well done to Lehmann for finally coming up with the goods. and Punter for doing what we expect him to do and illy for being Gilly.

That's all I'm talking about, m8. The tramlines.

The ump would only go for the 3rd. umpy if everything else was in place. ie. Was it hitting the stumps? Was it too high? He still makes these decisions.

It's not only the 'bad' umpires who get this one wrong.

I cant remember Bucknor or Sheppard giving out too many woeful lbw's like da silva has done. It is the poor umpires. A half decent umpire would know without thinking about it that Langer and Hayden wern't out. You don't need video for that, we could all see it wasnt out without it. Remove the poor umpire, not the system.

The windies are 3/234 after the first hour.

Seemed somewhat strange when Waugh opened the bowling with himself and Hogg. Especially when you have selected 5 bowlers and your two quicks are of such class.

Lee is only now coming on, after 60 minutes of play.

The Windies are 4/273 at lunch.

Ganga is 117 n.o. and Sarwan made 26, bowled by Lee.

The deficit ie 303 so they need 104 to avoid the follow on.

Post by **Donny** » Tue Apr 22, 2003 3:52 am

6/309 as I head to bed. 3 hours of play have produced 3/123.

Lee has 3/67 and Gillespie, 2/37.

Windies fight back 408 all out. We are 1 for 31. It appears that this is a batsmens wicket. The yorker that cleaned bowled Sarwan was brilliant by Lee.

Interesting to see what transpires, in saying that we are more consistant.

Post by **Donny** » Tue Apr 22, 2003 11:16 am

Lee took 4/69, Gillespie, 3/50 and MacGill, 2/98. Samuels made 68.

Australia lead by 199.

Just how many more shocking LBW decisions will it take to get rid of De Silva as an international Umpire....Disgusting...
