Cricket News - by Craig Hill

Australia in a spot of Caribbean bother (LINK)

May 25th 2008 20:46
Even as I type this, the Australians are in a position that they would not have liked to be in. After getting such a wonderful start to the Test match by Ricky Ponting - who scored a masterly 150 as mentioned in our previous article, the Aussies collapsed in the first innings. The Chanderpaul played an innings so reminiscent of him, to take the West Indians within about a 100 runs of their total.

A lead of 100 odd hould have been enough for the Aussies easily seal the match. Not that they cannot right now, but they would have expected it to happen more easily if they do. Batting the second time around, the Aussies collapsed to 17/4 at the end of day three, before recovering a little to capitulate to a 165 all out. It was only an inspirational, aggressive innings of 79 by Symonds that saw them to such a total.

Currently the West indies is at 38/1, having lost brenton Parchment. With another day to go after today, it sure may turn out to be a battle to remember. Or at least one hopes for a gripping contest that goes down to the wire.
