Australia v West Indies

lol fuck, the pre-christmas tradition
Aus win the toss in the first test, bat, score a million, and the other team already wants to go home.
this is just ugly as fuck. windies looking longingly at the Perth airport.
oh wait, i missed the best part of the tradition. Pre-game the local media talks up the wicket as being spicy (the old "green monster" was broken out on tuesday) and it so often works as teams get sucked in to bowling even if they win the toss.
Anyway, the windies suck. annoying cricket nerd scored 200. older annoying cricket autistic kid is closing in on it, and some guy named after a sex act will score a hundred soon.

Jesus Christ, just when I thought Steve Smith was a chance to only average in the high 50s like normal cricket legends not named Don Bradman he goes and gets an unbeaten double.
Average of 61.47 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NINE better than our boy KW.
What an annoyingly gifted and brilliant fuck he is.

Hazlewood : bowling
@mariner4life : stiffening

"... And for your test debut we want you to face these guys at 140+"
The first class numbers don’t scream much……but the pedigree is there……
Then again Trevor Chappell played international cricket back in the day.

The stance or the getting hit in the nuts?

Is it just me, or is not enforcing the follow on just weird?
How long till stumps? And an overnight rest?
They're more behind than they scored in their first innings.
You're going to rest your bowlers for what? Two sessions? But they've got an overnight rest.
Just comes across as sooky.
I know, I know, VVS ...
And every time this happens, I ask this question n and Aussiewin anyway. Just seems to me to be the hard way.

I just thought the same. Why ?
Enforcing the follow on deflates the other team. I think it’s a powerful move.

Set 498 … currently 84 without, 5 sessions to go.
Unlikely they will do it, but need a decent crack to lift heads for rest of the tour.
