bugger that I have to watch a Growing Pains movie instead of this. :(

New odds:

Aus: 4.50
WI: 4.50
Draw: 1.61

Runs should dry up now with Benn doing well and the new batsmen.

Pretty much spot on :D

Windies all out, Australia require 331 from approximately 80 overs.


man i am good sometimes!!!!


australia cannot win now. its either WI win or a draw.

only 1 time in the history of adelaide tests (in 1902 mind you) has a team made over 300 to win in the 4th innings. i just dont see australia doing it.

i think if hinges on benn's fitness. if he didn't get hurt too much by johnson hitting him on the foot, then WI will win this i reckon.

Well, they were going at 5 an over for the first half dozen overs, but with the loss of an early wicket, I can see them slowing right down to around 2 - 2 1/2 per over for the next hour or so.

critical period here. if they lose another one then i can't see them chasing. ponting and watson both need to be there at lunch for australia to have a chance

At a reasonable rate as well, though. If they are there at lunch, great; but if the rate has blown out to over 5 an over at lunch time, it's getting out of hand

Benn is bowling really well. I'd like to see the Windies try some of their other spin options. Maybe Gayle?
