Latham is busy being captain.

Should make Conway do it given he has done it in the shorter forms and shouldn't be too tired after facing two balls.

Yeah this feels like Latham being too team oriented. Sometimes you need to be realistic about how much you can do yourself. You're allowed a substitute keeper now too, so it doesn't have to be someone in the playing 11.

Trying to do a Gilly

[Cyclops]

Why the fuck is Mitch sub fielding if he wasn't fit to start. He's our 2nd best batsman at the moment, let him rest we're going to need him in the second test.

[Virgil]

like to think thats a good sign hes 98% fit and was a tight call on playing this test or not.
just trying to be positive!

[Cyclops]

Was just about joke about how good Foulkes' bowling average is but now it's even better!

[nzzp]

That is a hell of a catch from Young

[MN5]

Fair to say the Summer on both sides of the Ta$man hasn't started well with dazzling opening partnerships.

[MN5]

I remember Shivnarine Chanderpaul and his weird stance.

Definitely runs in the family.

Ball going past the bat plenty. Not catching an edge yet - apart from Campbell's.

Just have to be patient and keep putting the ball in the right spot

[Cyclops]

Finally gets the edge and Young puts it down! Much easier than the one he caught too.

[MN5]

Young drops one ! Should have been taken. Bugger.

[Cyclops]

Henry takes fielders out of the equation.

[Virgil]

got him anyway, not a costly mistake thankfully

[MN5]

Seemed only a matter of time. Straight through. Athanaze gone.

[Cyclops]

Hope batting with sunglasses on!

[Virgil]

do any of the windies batsmen average over 30?

A gun at ODI level but that's a really ordinary record for someone who has played 44 tests.

hmmm ok which of you guys are commenting over at cricinfo...

Howard: "Matt Henry taking the fielders out of the equation!!That aside, I find it interesting that Mitchell could not pass a fitness test to make this team, and now he's out there fielding. He must have been very close if he's now out there on the morning of Day 2? And so they didn't want to risk him? But now he's out there fielding..."

fucking copy my remarks!

[Gunner]

God I hate umpires call, if it’s hitting, it’s hitting.

That rule doesn’t make sense to me.

Probably Sparky. He's bloody everywhere.
