1st TEST :Australia v West Indies at Hobart

Pattinson in

naughty-looking clouds overhead but we should not have too many delays

during the course of this Test....

WI XI: K Brathwaite, R Chandrika, D Bravo, M Samuels, J Blackwood, D Ramdin, J Holder, K Roach, J Taylor, J Warrican, S Gabriel

Speed will be the Factor with a bit of overcast.

Hope Gabriel holds that seam well

Carlos Brathwaite needs to get some dirty photos of the WICB prez or something. Can't catch a break.

It would have to be a toss up between him and Holder

and Holder is the Captain 

Gabriel is a 90+ mph Quick

10.20am The pitch has a greenish tinge to it but should remain firm throughout the Test.

WI's pacers - Taylor, Roach, Gabriel and Holder should enjoy it on the first morning under slightly overcast conditions. 8)

ready to go

10.29am Curtly Ambrose has a chat with his troops before they take the field.

Warner and Burns too after that. Burns will take the bowling.

Jerome Taylor has the cherry, three slips and a gully in place.

Early wickets, early wickets, early wickets has to be their mantra.

good ball

0.1
Taylor to Burns, 1 no ball, oh no, poor start from Taylor, he has overstepped off the first ball.

The delivery itself was good, full length on off and moving away which was easily defended
