West Indies navigate it to 1 for 150 at lunch.
Only 5 wickets have fallen so far in the test.

The age old question of how long do we bat for is going to be the challenge for Cummins.

Would 150 to 175 be enough?

You would think so.

3 days in 344 runs in front.

Bat to 400 in front and then bowl - but aim to be 400 in front by lunch at the latest - have 5 sessions at them

Mathematically that work but is it being a bit too generous? The declaration should come 30 minutes after lunch and we need to make sure we don't over bowl our quicks. I think I heard the selector want to limit Green to no more than 10 overs per day.

Marnus was lucky again going out on a no ball with only centimetres of the bowlers foot not inside the line.

We have enough runs so I would imagine once he gets his century and we pass a 500 run lead mark we will declare.
We could also bat for 20 minutes into the next session.

Declaration has come and the West Indies are now batting.

Re: 1st Test Australia v West Indies - Perth Nov 30th

Windies are doing very well 0 for 89.
We are going to have to work for it.

Re: 1st Test Australia v West Indies - Perth Nov 30th

3 for 192 but tomorrow Cummins will be able to bowl. I think we got the declaration right. They need to make 100 per session and keep their wickets from falling.

Is picking Lyon an error?

This aged well as he picks up 6 in the second innings

You should take that idiot to the nets.

Lance Morris called into the squad for the 2nd test. There would be a few other quick bowlers feeling that they're unlucky.
