Very enjoyable watch.

Many captains would have just batted on today but Clarke made the call to make a game of it by declaring.

Then some great bowling from the seamers has moved the game on some.

If they can get the last 5 for less than 100 more runs I think the Aussies will win it.

Could be a cracking last day.
 

Aye, watched some of that last night.

Like the look of that nathan lyon. 40 not out with the bat and looks a very good spinner.
 
The Aussies look like a very average side and although its been a better performance from the Windies they still have a long way to go before they can be classed as say decent opposition for England at Test level.

I didnt see it, but did here recently they have some good seamers, but no one half decent as a spinner, no disrespect but I hope you are wrong:-)
 
Wasn't suggesting they are anything to fear, cos they aren't. However, I was impressed with their attitude and the way they went about things yesterday. Most would never have thought about a declaration at that stage of the game. They have made a game out of what was looking to be a dull test match.
