I think so.

A nocturnal mate of mine stayed up all night watching and said Aus was all out for 180 and then had Windies 4-56.

Is a bowlers deck so far with the Dukes moving off the seam and in the air.
That link I gave you for live coverage mate is useless as the uploader is not permitting Australians to access it. gggrrr. Now I have to find a private stream or take out a Kayo acct.

Thought you had Fox?
 
Aus limping to 4-84 in second innings.

Webster top score with 19 NO.

Windies all out for 190, with Starc taking 3 wickets. Cummins, Josh H and Webster all took 2 each.

No. We don’t. Thanks though.

Have enough other streaming services which are cheaper than KAYO - Amazon Prime, Paramount, Binge, Netflix and Stan.We often delete some for periods of time.

Paramount is good value for Aus football.

We dropped Foxtel mate. One of the unaffordable, unnecessary cost of living items according to the missus. Kayo offering a $1 joining fee for a month, that should cover the Windies tour.

4-92 stumps. I woke painfully early from morning insomnia so logged into a private streamer , with the Aussies having struggled against a volatile new Dukes ball. With Ussie and Sam already in the sheds Cam and Josh were consolidating the innings when a ball change was made. The replacement moved off the deck and in the air more than the old one and batting became a real nitemare with Josh leaving one that moved in cannoning into his woodwork while an over or two later Cam nicked a rare wide short offering. Both will be spitting chips to give it away after all the hard work they had done to survive.

I have thought for sometime that we need a traditional solid specialist opening batsman.

I didn't see this game, sometimes the ball and deck just do too much.

Times like that are when a specialist can leave the ball, play with soft hands, defend ball after ball and rarely look like scoring.

One of best at this is Tim Ward, Henry Hunt too, a pair of old fashioned stonewallers. Doubt even this kinda bat can survive a new Dukes cherry on these Windies decks, which are clearly in the bowlers favor.

Really great opening bats are often not good enough to nick the good balls.

So far 1st innings 1 lbw, 0 bowled.
2nd innings 2 bowled and 1 lbw in 4 wickets.

Doesn't seem like the ability to miss would count in the second innings.
 
I still reckon some top order players with a really good eye nick the good balls.

Some players seem to have the knack of missing, not all the time, but certain innings.

Sometimes 100 starts out with 10 play and misses early. The duck is the guy unlucky enough to hit the ball.
