3rd Test: Australia v West Indies at Sydney

Phew !!!  match doesn't start until Jan 3rd !!! :

The SCG has never been kind to West Indies through the years. They have won just 2 out of the 14 Test matches played here and haven't won since 1961. The last Test came in 2001. Of the 22 players that appeared in that Test, Marlon Samuels is the only one still playing.

The weather forecast doesn't look that encouraging with rain forecast for all five days, so there is a strong chance we finally get a fifth day of play.

Two spinners for SCG Test : Steve O'Keefe in.

Siddle rested.

The Australia team for the third Test is almost unrecognisable when compared to 12 months ago. It is also a very inexperienced side. Of the XI, only Warner, Smith and Lyon have played more than 15 Test matches.

win toss and bat

Oz by innings or ton.  Plenty of bleach, Tide Super-Whitener.  ::LOL::   YT Wash almost complete.  ::dead::

The Windies' main problem has been their poor bowling, giving away runs and not showing any intent.

Show them the Money ..... :-[

Match begins in: 5 hours or 6:30 pm NA time
