Clarke and Haddin are at the crease currently, Clarke is 20 not out while Haddin is on 2.

Re: Australia in the West Indies
Australia are 5/439 at lunch on day 2. Clarke and Haddin combined well in the morning and have an undefeated partnership of 79. Both players are only a few runs away from their respective fifties.
A lead of 474 for Australia with five sessions remaining. I'd say we could see a declaration when the lead hits 500 to leave a short, nasty session for West Indies to face before tea.
Katich has played well. I thought after the first test that he wasn't the right man for the job but in the second and third tests he has come out and repaid the faith the selectors showed in him by picking him for the tour. He has certianly consolidated his position in the selectors mind. He is no doubt the first choice batsman now to replace anyone in the current eleven.

Re: Australia in the West Indies
Australia declared during the lunch break at 5/439. West Indies need 475 for an unlikely victory.
They've started okay so far, 0/19 from four overs, Chris Gayle has faced had the bulk of the strike and is up to 7. Simon Katich dropped Marshall when he was on one, a simple chance at third slip. That's Katich's third spilled catch in this game..

Re: Australia in the West Indies
West Indies 3/235 at stumps. Chris Gayle made 26, Ramnaresh Sarwan 43 and Marshall made 85. Clark, Clarke and Casson have the wickets.
Marshall has been one of the Windies best performers this series despite playing for Jamaica's second eleven. He seems to have stepped up well.
West Indies still need 240 more runs to win.

Re: Australia in the West Indies
West Indies move to 5/316 at stumps. It was an important session for both teams with Australia seemingly coming out on top.
Bravo and Chanderpaul fell shortly before lunch, two critical breakthroughs which have swung the game back in favour towards the Australians. Beau Casson picked up his second test wicket, this time he got Dwayne Bravo who pushed forward at a full delivery and was caught at short leg by Phil Jaques for 69. Chanderpaul fell in the next over to Stuart Clark for 50, adjudged LBW although replays showed the ball was a tad high.
We still have a game here though, West Indies need a further 159 runs to win and they have at least 64 overs left today. The two batters at the crease, Ramdin and Taylor will have to do the bulk of the scoring as the West Indies tail falls away after Taylor, who is the better batter out of the bowlers. West Indies won't have the services of Sewnarine Chattergoon either due to injury, so they will bat one man short.

Re: Australia in the West Indies
Just as the Windies were looking okay, they lose a wicket. Clark strikes, LBW again, this time it's Ramdin who is plumb in front, the ball would have hit inbetween middle and leg stump.
6/345 with Taylor on 27 not out and looking pretty good. And a surprise to everyone, Chattergoon is walking out to bat. Great effort. @|

Re: Australia in the West Indies
It was good to see both Jaques and Katich pile on the runs for the National team, as they have done for NSW over the past few seasons!
When do you reckon Hayden will get the Steve Waugh "tap on the shoulder"?

Re: Australia in the West Indies
Says the Vic
Re:Casson - Most neutrals would say he didn't bowl that badly- and at least he'd be around for a few years, as well as being handy with the bat, whereas old man McGain, would only be a short term solution.
Give him some time- if you judged Warney from his first test, he wouldn't have played for Australia ever again!
