1st Test WI v SAf, Port of Spain, Jun 10-14, 2010

Windies will probably make less than half of South Africa's 1st innings total

Windies in all sorts. Although one shocking decision. Now up to Gayle and Chanders to rescue the innings. Gayle bowled as i type.

Morkel is starting to fulfil is potential. He was their best bowler against the poms and bowled well without the wickets to his name that Steyn got against India. Was also their best in the ODIs. Poor from the Windies. Their rate of scoring is also terrible.

Damn, this is a bit of an ass-kicking for this WI

so disappointing that there is really not much to talk about other than Morkel and Steyn

Looks like a pretty classy performance from Steyn and Morkel. How disappointing for the Windies to go from having the Saffies 5-107 to this debacle.

I feel very sorry for the hard core real cricket fans of the Windies.

Jesus, Crikey moses.

Even they can't help the Windies now, Smerks.

102?


Ah fark, god help the world of cricket.

I was originally going to say < 150. Barely 100 was not really in my scope.

And fair enough given that the pitch wasn't meant to assist the pacemen. I saw the highlights and the commentators were saying that the batting conditions were benign but Morkel got alarming lift from this placid strip. When Steyn bowls with pace and movement he troubles most batsmen.

Jackie out early lbw not playing a shot. Terrific decision by Rauf as Jackie did play one of his bullsh1t wave the bat around to pretend its a shot shots but Raug saw through it.

And SMiffy also lbw to Benn, for 90.

Um, when the ball hits the leg stump, it normally goes down as bowled.

Sorry - got it off cricinfo. Obviously they've changed it now.
