Australia 3 for 339 (Katich 99, Watson 89, Hussey 81*) v West Indies
Australia's summer of batting near misses and bouts of pain continued, but they won't be too bothered after staying well ahead of West Indies on the opening day of the final Test. While Ricky Ponting was forced to retire hurt with a throbbing left elbow and Simon Katich and Shane Watson left agonisingly close to deserved centuries, the hosts quickly forgot about their below-par performance in Adelaide and were on track for a series win after posting a formidable 3 for 339.
Ponting's elbow was the greatest concern for the hosts after he walked off on 23, but he was cleared by x-rays and will bat when required. The damage for West Indies, who could not provide lasting support for Kemar Roach, could stay a bit longer on a pitch that looked fun for batting - except when Roach was operating.
Roach woke the tourists from their morning slumber during a five-over burst from the Lillee-Marsh End in the middle session, forcing Ponting's retirement and removing Watson for 89. Strangely, he was not given the ball again until the second new ball was taken and was allowed an over into the wind before being replaced. He walked off with 1 for 67 in 13 overs, figures which don't reveal the damage he caused.
In between Roach's spells the spinners strangled Katich and Michael Clarke, giving some justification to the strange method of employing them both straight after tea. Katich was the most unfortunate, finding square leg with his sweep of Sulieman Benn to register his second 99 in Tests. He left without emotion but it was a wasted opportunity that maintained Australia's record of not owning a century in the three-match series.
At least Watson didn't briefly lose his mind, with Roach's sharp ball going away and brushing his edge on 89, but it didn't ease the pain of missing a maiden hundred, just as he did after reaching 96 in Adelaide last week. The day began with a 132-run stand between Watson and Katich, a partnership which was so comfortable it seemed like they would be unhappy if they didn't reach 600. By stumps, on a pitch missing the traditional steepling bounce, Hussey had taken them to comfort with a bright 81.
Smart stats
Simon Katich fell on 99 for the second time in his Test career, joining seven other batsmen who've suffered this fate. The only other Australian in the group is Greg Blewett.
Australia lead quite comfortably in terms of batsmen who've been dismissed for 99 - it's happened to them 22 times, nine more than England, who are in second place.
Michael Hussey's half-century is the 13th for Australia in this series, but no batsman has managed a hundred yet. West Indies have five 50-plus scores, of which two have been converted into hundreds.
In seven innings, Katich and Shane Watson have added 644 runs for the first wicket at an average of 71.55, with two century stands.
Ponting headed for hospital shortly before tea after being shaken by the spell of Roach, who had picked up the captain twice in the series. Life was immediately uncomfortable for Ponting, who ducked and turned his head in response to a 146kph short ball that arrived as his second delivery.
His arm remained high to take the impact and following a delay for treatment he was breathing deeply again when hit in the stomach jumping back to Roach. Ponting is now 34 and was noticeably slow at the start, although Roach had some inspiration after the captain said in the lead-up to the match that the extra speed did not worry him.
The injury continued to bother Ponting for the next 36 minutes and he managed to ignore the pain briefly to pull Roach for six, not worrying about the two men on the boundary. However, he was grimacing again following a pull off Dwayne Bravo and went off to give Hussey a chance to secure his spot.
On his home ground, Hussey produced his most authoritative innings of the series, pulling powerfully on occasions and working the ball cleverly. His innings peaked with three fours in Roach's opening over with the second new ball and he will be desperate to reach three figures on the second morning when he resumes with Marcus North (23).
Katich held everything together during his considered display, giving the strike to Watson as the allrounder entertained with pulls, cuts and crisp drives during his 15 boundaries. After surviving a drop from Chris Gayle at first slip on 7, Watson moved freely throughout and a pull and an on-drive took him to 89, but he slipped against Roach and walked off without a lengthy bat raise.
For most of the morning Katich was content to complement Watson and had scored 4 by the time his partner was 27. He was the ideal support for Watson and then Ponting, attempting to help his leader through the discomfort. There were brief bursts, with a couple of boundaries in overs from Bravo and Gavin Tonge, but he lost focus at the wrong moment. Clarke followed with a rash shot on 11 to hand Narsingh Deonarine a reward for his casual offspin.
Deonarine and Travis Dowlin had come in for the injured Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Adrian Barath, leaving West Indies to hope for a small first-innings target in their push to level the series. Tonge was called in for his debut, replacing Darren Sammy, and he found it difficult to offer Roach any long-term help. Tonge went for five an over and Ravi Rampaul and Bravo created few moments of fear for the hosts.
The spinners combined for 37 overs and reduced the run-rate after tea, but the visitors will have to create more chances, rather than waiting for things to happen, if they are to challenge over the final four days. At the moment Roach is the only real danger to Ponting and his men. As the captain re-discovered, his threat is serious.

West Indies 2 for 214 (Gayle 102, Dowlin 55) trail Australia 7 for 520 dec (Katich 99, Watson 89, Haddin 88, Hussey 82, North 68) by 306 runs
Chris Gayle whipped up the fifth fastest century by balls faced in Test history as West Indies refused to be blown over on a dramatic and heated day in Perth. Gayle unleashed the controlled fury of a captain who had watched his bowlers struggle for penetration with a 70-ball hundred that catapulted his side to 2 for 214, a promising collection which still leaves them 306 behind.
Australia felt chirpy after declaring at 7 for 520 but were soon silenced by Gayle's hot blade as he clumped 102 within 25 overs. The WACA has hosted some brutal innings and this one probably included the biggest six at the ground, with one of his straight sixes off Nathan Hauritz landing on the roof of the towering Lillee-Marsh Stand.
That rocket, which was powered by his charge down the pitch and a free-flowing swing, took him to 91 and it was appropriate that his century came with another six, this one sailing over the sightscreen. It was his fourth clearance off Hauritz and sixth of the innings, prompting him to drop to his knees for a praiseworthy celebration. Everyone watching deserved to be bowing down at him.
After a hard-working, unbeaten 165 in Adelaide, which re-floated his side after their three-day defeat in Brisbane, Gayle followed up in his traditional style. This was a batsman preening and flexing, exterminating the frustration of time in the field.
Sulieman Benn, the giant spinner with a seriously grumpy alter ego, had signalled that West Indies would not slip away meekly when he started a lengthy confrontation with Brad Haddin that ended with Mitchell Johnson pushing the bowler away. Gayle then showed the right sort of aggression for a modern cricket field, an innings containing defence and leaving with Twenty20-style explosions thrown in.
Gayle is without two of his best batsmen - Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Adrian Barath are out injured - on a surface with a reputation for supporting fast bowlers. He didn't care. His team might look fragile but he was not going to be pushed around. Four boundaries were taken in Johnson's opening two overs to set Gayle's tempo and he would calm down only momentarily.
The debutant Clint McKay was initiated with a four in front of point first ball and returned after tea to be swatted down the ground and lifted for a six to long-on. Gayle barely followed through and with his score on 79 from 46 balls there was a chance he could tackle Viv Richards' record of 56 deliveries. It didn't happen but, like Adam Gilchrist's 57-ball effort in Perth during the 2006-07 Ashes, it didn't matter.
Strokes that would usually wedge in the mind were replaced at the speed of a wedding-ceremony slideshow. When Gayle flicked Doug Bollinger over square leg to bring up his half-century from his 34th ball it seemed like the shot of the series. An effortless swing cleared the fence on one of the world's biggest grounds and the batsman's heart-rate would not have fluttered. More grunt followed the grace.
The Australians were in shock and awe, especially Hauritz, who will do well not to have nightmares of Gayle's right leg stepping down at him. Ricky Ponting kept Hauritz on hoping for a mis-hit, and there was an edge on 81 that was spilt by Michael Clarke at first slip. If Gayle missed a century it would have been a bigger crime than the physical confrontation of Benn and Johnson.
He didn't and after such carnage his dismissal was as weak as the winds in the eye of a storm, a limp waft at a short ball floating to Shane Watson at point. Bollinger was the bowler but the noise that followed was for Gayle's innings of 72 deliveries, which also had nine forgotten fours. As he exited to the first ball of the 24th over he had all but 34 off his side's 136.
Travis Dowlin was the almost silent partner but his 55 was hugely valuable until he scooped a catch to gully off Johnson. By stumps the tourists had Ramnaresh Sarwan on 42 and Narsingh Deonarine on 10, while Johnson, McKay and Hauritz were left to tend their bruises.
It was a day for runs, none of which went to Ponting. He did not bat due to his injured left elbow, but closed the innings midway through the second session after Haddin had built on the work of Watson, Simon Katich, Michael Hussey and Marcus North. On another day Haddin's 88 from 91 balls would have been the most memorable and North's confident 68 would have been discussed with appreciative nods. Sorry, but Gayle's special circumstances relegated them to small mentions.
Australia resumed the second day at 3 for 339 and quickly lost Hussey for 82, with Haddin soon doing his best to impersonate Gilchrist. Gayle did a better job, but Haddin's collection was important in inflating Australia's total, which is still intimidating despite West Indies' forceful reply.
Haddin threatened to become the first Australian of the series to score a hundred, but instead became the 15th local to reach a half-century during a purposeful innings that gained intensity with his elongated debate with Benn. The complicated exchange inadvertently brought in Johnson when the bowler pointed at Haddin and accidently brushed his partner's shoulder.
It had all begun when Haddin took offence at Benn and Johnson running into each other when the bowler was fielding in his follow-through. The ultimately harmless episode was an unnecessary and ugly period that showed both teams have some fight left after three weeks of play. It didn't help Benn though, as he returned 1 for 87 off 28 overs, but added to the excitement of a breathless day.
Smart Stats
- Australia's total of 520 is the second-highest score that did not feature a single century. Only India's score of 524 for 9 declared against New Zealand is ahead on the list and featured six fifties against Australia's five.
- Marcus North and Brad Haddin scored the 14th and 15th half-centuries for Australia in this series, but the hosts are yet to register a hundred.
- Chris Gayle's century was the fourth for the visitors in the same time.
- If the Australian batsmen fail to register a century in the second innings, this would become only the ninth time that Australia have gone through a series of at least three matches without a century.
- The 15 half-centuries Australia have scored is already the highest scored by any team in a Test series where it did not score any centuries.

Benn faces one-Test suspension
Brydon Coverdale at the WACA
December 17, 2009
http://www.cricinfo.com/ausvwi09/content/story/439990.html
Sulieman Benn faces a potential suspension after being charged with a Level 2 ICC Code of Conduct offence for bringing the game into disrepute following an incident with Brad Haddin and Mitchell Johnson at the WACA. Johnson and Haddin have also been hit with charges but at the lower Level 1, which carries a maximum penalty of a fine of 50% of the player's match fee.
If found guilty, Benn's penalty could be a one-Test suspension, however the more likely result would be a fine of 50 to 100% of his match fee. The three men were cited by the match referee Chris Broad after the second day's play, during which an eventful 118th over of Australia's innings ended with a physical clash between Benn and Johnson.
The over began with an accidental run-in between the bowler Benn, who was moving across to field a drive, and the non-striker Johnson, who was taking off for a single. The contact seemed incidental, with neither man at fault, but Haddin appeared to inflame the situation after completing the run, when he pointed his bat at Benn.
The pair exchanged words and the sparks flew again two balls later, when Haddin drove the final ball of the over back to Benn, who shaped to throw at the striker's end even though Haddin was not taking off for a run. Haddin and Johnson had a mid-pitch meeting at the end of the over and Benn continued his remonstration, moving close to the batsmen and pointing at Haddin across the shoulder of Johnson.
There appeared to be some incidental contact between Johnson and Benn when Johnson moved to position himself between his partner and the bowler. Things became even uglier when Johnson pushed Benn away, following the initial contact. After stumps the West Indies captain Chris Gayle said he felt Benn had not initiated the physical clash.
"Benn wasn't involved in that," Gayle said. "If you watch the telly, you see who made physical contact. But like I said we'll be discussing it after with the match referee."
Gayle said there wasn't much in the incident and he quickly moved to speak to his bowler, and the tension died down. "As a captain basically you just try to get on with the game," he said. "No-one wants to bring the game into disrepute so that was the only thing, just try to get on with it."
Benn's competitive nature was on display at the Adelaide Oval last week when he regularly followed through to move into the eyeline of the batsmen, taking the sort of aggressive approach not often seen in spin bowlers. He also has a lighter side and is known for singing at every opportunity and Australia's batsman Marcus North said while Benn was "an unusual guy", it was natural to expect that the match would be played in a competitive spirit.
"There's a contest out there and both teams play it hard and hopefully don't cross the line," North said. "Both teams have played in pretty good spirit this series."

Make that 7 down now. If Ponting put them men back in to bat today, they better grind to save this match.
-
On second thought I hope Ponting does not put them back into bat right away and let us bat last, that will give us a chnce to draw the match. If we go back in right away we are almost guaranteed to lose, because of the size of the deficit will not allow us to attain a lead that will not be easily attainable by Austarlia.

I really need to do like weary and overs WI cricket oui.

-
If we bowl them out for a small score we could still win this.
-
The bowlers better get ready to bowl the spells of their lives, or we will be chasing 500+. I see Australia batting until tea tomorrow(unless we bowl them out) and then throwing us back in the fire.
-
Yes Ravi, 15/1
-
Because I am delusional die hard I stayed up and watch the entire day. There was excellent discipline all around, and ah think Bravo making ah play for the captaincy. He was running the show today.We will have 5+ sessions to make about 360-370 max. This is winnable!!!
Australia were 137/8 at stumps. A scoreline I would have expected of us.
time for my 2 hour power nap....
-
I went to sleep at 15/1 thinking we could salvage a draw. I wake up to 137/8 vex now that I have to wait whole day to watch the end of this match.

Australia lose fizz after Bollinger bubbles
The Bulletin by Peter English
December 18, 2009
http://www.cricinfo.com/ausvwi09/content/current/story/440059.html
Australia 7 for 520 dec & 8 for 137 lead West Indies 312 (Gayle 102, Dowlin 55, Bollinger 5-70) by 345 runs
Doug Bollinger was responsible for a sudden swing from flooding runs to raining wickets before West Indies surged back to remain in contention in the deciding third Test. Despite falling to a worrying 8 for 137 in their second innings, Australia still managed an enviable position and will enter the fourth day with a 345-run lead following the scare.
Bollinger grabbed 5 for 70 and ensured an advantage of 208 for the hosts before Ricky Ponting did not enforce the follow-on and ordered his team to provide a match-winning total. That assignment became a severe struggle when West Indies were inspired by Dwayne Bravo and Sulieman Benn on a cracking surface that is becoming less predictable. The turnaround was a shock just 24 hours after Chris Gayle blazed a 70-ball century, with the highest score of the day a gritty 44 from Brendan Nash as 16 wickets fell for 235 runs.
Australia were surprised by the ferocity of the fightback and Ponting, who retired hurt on 23 in the first innings, decided to walk out an hour after saying he wouldn't bat unless it was absolutely necessary. He is not used to such dramatic changes. Ponting suffered tendon damage in his left elbow when hit by Kemar Roach on Wednesday and until his batsmen started disappearing he would have been more worried about being in doubt for the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan.
At 7 for 125, following Mitchell Johnson's dismissal, Ponting arrived and lasted six balls for 2 before his discomfort forced a pushed catch to short leg off his new nemesis Roach. There was some consolation in him leaving knowing Australia's lead is still significant and that only South Africa have scored more to win in Perth. Although the voices of the West Indians grew happier with each breakthrough, the pitch will deteriorate further and the tourists will need a Gayle-inspired masterpiece to level the three-game series.
In Brisbane Ponting followed-on and soon lost Ben Hilfenhaus and Peter Siddle to injury, so even without the influence of the conditions he was not going to ask Gayle to bat again straight away. The target-setting didn't go to plan, but the run of low scores showed how difficult run-making had become.
Australia lost Simon Katich (10) when he shuffled across too far to Ravi Rampaul and then gained a glimpse of the future when Clarke walked out in Ponting's place at No. 3. However, Clarke edged behind on 25 to Bravo, who came back to remove Marcus North with a one-handed take from Denesh Ramdin and knocked over Johnson. Bravo's 3 for 34 came from 15 straight overs and he was responsible, along with Benn's 2 for 26, for keeping his side in with a chance.
The opener Watson looked in good touch again, got a start again, and was lbw again. He over-balanced a touch trying to whip Gavin Tonge through midwicket and gave the bowler his first Test wicket. During his innings Watson had continued his series-long arguing with Benn, who popped up to claim Michael Hussey at short leg in his first over.
West Indies were excited and the hosts were starting to shudder, with North taking 27 balls for his single. Benn lost his exchange with Haddin yesterday when he was suspended for two one-day games, but he succeeded in dismissing the wicketkeeper for 23 with an edge to Bravo at first slip. The emotional afternoon concluded with Nathan Hauritz on 11 and the debutant Clint McKay on 1.
The only man to come was Bollinger, who gained his first five-for in his third Test as he stamped himself as a long-term option during an energetic display. He began with the wicket of Ramnaresh Sarwan (42) from the day's second ball and came back after lunch to spark a game-changing collapse of 6 for 27. Don't start worrying yet about a relapse in the West Indian batting because the challenging bowling was responsible for the majority of wickets.
Nash and Bravo had fought through most of the first session for a 46-run partnership, but then both pillars fell in three overs and the air was taken from the visitors' pursuit. Bravo touched a ball angling across him from Bollinger to Haddin while Hauritz had Nash dropped at first slip by Clarke at first slip before the fielder corrected the mistake in the offspinner's following over. Hauritz (3 for 66), who had been targeted by Gayle on day two, was suddenly a huge threat for the tail and he removed Benn and Rampaul to catches behind in the same over.
Bollinger followed up by bowling Ramdin behind his legs and gained his fifth breakthrough to end the innings. After the third wicket Bollinger kissed the badge on his shirt and when he closed out the innings - Tonge gave Haddin his fourth catch - he lifted the ball self-consciously to the crowd.
During the first session Johnson was more imposing than the previous day, forcing the batsmen on to the back foot to hop and jump, and his prize was the dismissal of Narsingh Deonarine, who drove to Watson at cover on 18. Johnson's overnight figures of 1 for 68 off 11 turned into 2 for 92 off 18 in a boost for the second innings, when he will be as important as Bollinger and Gayle.

Broad's ban of Benn continued his stance as a strict match referee. His previous rulings have included suspending Gautam Gambhir for a Test for elbowing Shane Watson, banning Shahid Afridi for four ODIs for brandishing his bat at a spectator, and barring Herschelle Gibbs for two Tests for making abusive comments towards the crowd. However, Broad insisted that player behaviour was improving.
Broad only like to ban certain players from certain countries although in this case Benn was looking for shit and needed to cool heself.

If Bravo and Ramdin had bat smarter we would have won this game.

My sentiments exactly. How come haddin was not banned for waving his bat (like afridi), and why was Ponting not censured for his nudge to Bravo? It seems like when the match referees administer their rulings, the Australians always get off with a slap on the wrist.
-
Day five begins.
-
good fight fellahs
-
Day five ends.
36 runs short.
Good fight!
-
It's all over on a bad call.
-
Bollinger to Roach, OUT, high drama! Australia have appealed for a caught behind and Roach has been given, he wants a referral, it's so marginal, can't really tell if he nicked it or not, replays aren't conclusive and in such cases I think the on-field decision should stay, Roach fended at the ball off the back foot as it angled across him ... the Australians were extremely confident ... Hot Spot shows nothing much ... the wait is long and tense ... and he's been given ... fair call too since there was no evidence either way
Translation:
Tief Out!!!!!
-
well it done
I want to know what the third eye see that I did not
-
Now back too regular programing.
T&T secession is the only solution.
-
well it done
I want to know what the third eye see that I did not
He did not touch that ball. :cursing: :bs:
-
dem Aussies..like it hard for dem to win FAIR BOY...
-
The benefit of the doubt should go to the bastsman,the zebra should eat that call
-
Tell me this,is it me or is Bollinger chucking,check his wrist just before he delivers the ball

I blame Nash for the loss. reason behind it is that he creates too much pressure on everybody just defending well. he's like a chanders without the singles and that forces the other batsmen to do all the run making to get on with it and results in way more loose shots. if he was just rotating the strike there would not have been so much pressure to score.

Blame has to go to both Bravo and Ramdin as well . They were both out with careless and unnecessary shots.
-
Blame it on the rain
-
I agree che they out like bottoms and in any other scenario I woulda ascribe blame to them, but as I looked at it bravo came in the game simply to get a move on. as I recalled they had made about 3 runs in like 30 mins to an hr before bravo came to the crease, recognize is the aussies we talking about here, they have tons of mental strength by defending, as nice as it was, even with the advantage to the WI the aussies saw themselves coming back in control because no runs were being made. every time a ball is bowled it's a wicket taking chance, so with that risk in mind make a couple singles so that the aussies don't have time to think that they might come back into it nah!
at first RP was smothering the singles but then he went more defensive and nash still there defending... a lil forward push and it's a single i kinda excuse deonarine cuz with yuh partner on 44-48 for the past 5 yrs you would tend to look to push the score by smashing everything for four and forget or even rule out singles cuz you know your partner going to block the next 5 balls. nash reminding me bad of "pad 'em adams" he'll stay there whole day and think that he did the job of holding the innings together when yuh damn job is to read the game and know when to press an advantage.
As for pressing home and advantage that is a next story I vex with the WI for cuz gayle shit up the last test by not taking a risk and challenging the aussies to attempt the win. WI lack killer instinct it's like when things going well it's to incredible to believe... stuepes!!!!
-
The say hindsight is 50/50. I blame Gayle, Sarwan, Bravo. How long them playing for the WI. Donkey stones years. They have been in predicaments like this before. They ent no freshman. Them have experience. They plain just f---kup. But I like the fighting spirit. but We ent turn the corner yet. We still in the roundabout.
Some of the umpire calls were atrocious. And somebody mentioned one of them Oz bowlers chucking. Even a blind man/woman can see that.
-
Two shots doomed our chances.....The hook shot played by Dowlin which got him out......and ....Sawan getting out on the last ball before lunch....terrible shot to be playing at that stage,knowing that a break in play was at hand

I now see the final wicket on a real tv.
close, reeeall close. Say what, we had our chances. Lets not forget that if Australia hadn't declared in the first innings we wouldn't have been close enough to be vex. Them men score 520 in the first innings and look like they coulda put on a next 200. What doom us wasn't poor batting decisions, we score 312 and 323, we couldn't move them in the first innings.
-
Willie the only problem with Trini staying is ,if most WI fans had a chance the first players they would get rid of are .Ramdin,Rampaul,even Bravo and Barath is one bad score from being booted . SO my question is if the other Islands hate all our players shouldn they just leave if they could ?

Hate what??
Barath is now the new anointed one (along with Roach). Who going to move him? People know that TnT have young quality coming up and they seem better disciplined than X-man, so they will get good treatment. Bravo is unmovable. I think even in Jamaica you would see street protests if he was unfairly removed. Ramdin and Rampaul are gaining respect, but will have to keep fighting.
Look man, competition for space is GOOD. Lendl S, Samuels, X-man and even Ganga are on the fringes, so people will have to work hard to cement places.

Rampaul doh have my respect yet and I am a Trini. He has to lose some weight and work on his bowling before I can begin to respect him on the cricket field.

-
MeWhat racist thing ? Those were your exact words lol alyah is kicks oui .
He must be related to all the great past cricketers the world over cause the all praise him.And FYI Ganga made two test Hundreds in Australia eh ,then they studied him and found his flaws .
-
wow they figure out your cousin quick boy,that alone should tell u he not good enough,which grate hailing him it ain't no WI grate
-
It ent have nothing to do with ethic background b.Get that true you head ! Let bravo learn under Ganga and he will be even greater as a captain .

Correction.....they studied him and Sarwan even before that when the WICB sent them over to the academy as youths. Then they most likely "sent the tapes" over to the AUS management before their first series against Australia. You didn't notice how every time Sarwan came in to bat it was either bowled/LBW (inswinging yorker) or caught midwicket (attempted hook)? ;) ;)

We have to much talent ,for just two or three men to be picked .You cant ask a whole of boys to play ,if we only have a quota of 2 or 3 .Thats not fair ,and out of the 2 or 3 men want them out .
We have thousand of mini Brian Laras coming up yah dig ,hell one Test Team might not be enough for us we might have to hook up Tobago with one too ;D We re busting at the seams over here .
Why yah think modi want to have a TnT IPL side .
