    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.

          Possibly accurate.

          A team of journeymen with the odd star isn’t going to come close to a team of stars.

              Their improvement is remarkable although you still get the feeling they’d get hammered in an Ashes series in Australia.

                Australia's seam bowling depth is frankly ridiculous.

                Their top 3 is pretty much without peer
                Boland has played 4 tests, has 21 wickets at 10
                The next 3 guys in line average less than 26 in first class cricket
                And then they have a genuinely quick guy they are trying to develop (not that any of the above are slow. or short.)

                  By contrast, go back to 2005 when McGrath rolled his ankle during warmup, and we fell to bits.

                    …..and thats not even mentioning their batting.

                    They might all be various stages of unlikable but by golly they can play.

                    The Waj entering the form of his life……two awkward looking weirdos averaging over 60, Head fashioning a very impressive career and with 44 having the lowest average of the top five.

                    I suppose Warner is declining a bit but you get the feeling he’s one massive bludgeoning innings away from finding form.

                      they also hugely improved their side by having sack the desperately average Tim Paine
