Good fight from the Windies in the end but 164 run defeat
Not an absolute hammering. They might improve as the series goes on.
Last game is the next one - pink ball Test in Adelaide.
Oh right. Probably good from their perspective. I suppose Australia save the big series for the big guns and have two test series for minnows like the Windies, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and New Zealand.

It's a great day for a road trip, too. Nothing better than listening to ABC Radio as you're hurtling across the landscape.

I’m supposed to be taking off to Hawkes Bay on the 26th but fuck all that Boxing Day traffic. I’ll wait to the 28th.

Pink ball test in RAdelaide.
Australia win toss and bat. Warner misses out chasing hard. Khawaja gets past 1000 runs for the year. Deck looks good to bat on, and the weather is choice so tonight's session will be interesting.
The big news tho: Cummins and Hazlewood out. Boland and Neser in. Bit more pressure on Starc to perform as the leader.
Smith is captain.
Windies hand out another debut.

That Australian top order is nothing short of fucken incredible. Best ever all at one time maybe ?
Actually Hayden, Langer, Ponting, Clarke, Hussey > Warner, Khawaja, Smith, Labuschagne, Head………

Trash
Everyone but Warner filled their boots.
You can sort of see why England, Aus and India only want to play themselves.

How embarrassing.
The Windies have produced gods of the great sport in the past, some of my absolute favourite players, but shit they must be flabbergasted at how bad this current lot are.
I blame America
Possibly accurate.
A team of journeymen with the odd star isn’t going to come close to a team of stars.

Money talks and they have fuck all.
