After a tough innings and a good competitive Struggle with the Windies.. Australia are in the lead and 9/406... this is turning out to be a good game.. too bad the V8's were on and I didn't watch it.. but it looks ok at the moment...

Australia all out.. well done to Michael Hussey... a strong innings.. a century and he, MacGill and McGrath ensured that Australia got to a decent total...

Yes again congrats to hussey
Devon Smith gooooooonnnne. Bowled Lee caught Ponting for 0
Back to back Tests with a 100 - yes, you belong at Test level Mike Hussey! It has been worth the wait
Michael Clarke's immediate Test future will appear to be on hold for the mean time.

Warnie is bringing Australia into and outright win position
It's been a great display from Warne this moning.
Again a modern Bradman.
How lucky has Aus cricket been.
Bradman, Warne, Lillee, McGrath just to name a few.
Welcome to Where Time Stands Still.....
And there is more to come looking at the state sides and junior squads.. If he can get it right.. Chris Voges for WA could be a superstar..he can score and score a lot in a hurry
As for this game.. unfortunately we have lost the contest.. the good news is that Aust. are in the commanding seat to win this due to the Leg Spin wizardry or Warne and consistency of MacGill...

Australia have wasted no time in getting to 0/16. I find the West Indians field placings on the negative side considering they must get 10 wickets to win the match.
West Indies have showed that they can do it, but they can't do it consistently ATM.
Still a chance of losing with the Aussies track record of chasing a low target
