Joseph getting a lesson from Head on why you shouldn't bowl short balls to him

Not many of the wickets so far has been due to good bowling. Smith could have easily left it, Ussie shouldn't have been chasing a delivery that was so wide, Labuschagne was set-up to hook in the air. Green's delivery was a decent one but Marsh and Carey's were just average deliveries and nothing special.

Can?t agree there. Sure the specific balls for each of the dismissals may not have been great in isolation, but in general the bowling has been really good. The bowling prior to most of the dismissals was well planned and thought out. The Windies clearly did some homework on our batters.

Overall it was a terrific bowling performance by the Windies.

Not sure why this test started on a Wednesday, it will barely make it to Friday and no chance it makes it to the weekend.

I think we are actually agreeing. I'm not knocking the Windies bowlers but it's not necessarily brilliant deliveries that dismissed our batsman who at times lacked some application.

Why is Joseph the number 11? Guy can bat.

There have been some ordinary batting line-ups from international teams playing in Australia but I can't recall anything worse than this current Windies top 6.

I would but I think we all want Ussie to be fit for the second test

You're right, he could hurt his hands
He said he will wear his helmet.

Same old same old this test. 4-57. Shot selection is terrible. There is some potential with some of the batters (particularly McKenzie) but they need to learn to build an innings.

Congrats to Starc. 350 test wickets is amazing
