Bowl'd Shane

Today I'm writing this from my desk as usual but what's a little UNusual is that I'm in a bright yellow, Aussie cricket shirt!

I started a little early to get a few tasks outa the way but at 10 I'm off like David Hasselh___! You see, the one (and only one) advantage in my new work premises is that its about 5 mins walk to the WACA. Play is starting at 10.30 so I can work here for 3 hours and still casually stroll to get there way before time. Booyar

Today is day 3 of the third test match between the Windies and the Stray-yans. If you haven't been keeping track, here is a quick rundown of the game so far: Aussies batted first, Windies hit Ponting with the ball and sent him off hurt - Declared @ 520. Windies are now 2/214 off only 276 balls.

What that means is, the Windies are dominating so far but it all hinges on today.

There were a few interesting altercations at the crease however, alot of chest puffing, big talking and threats which has only resulted in a possible penalty fine for the players involved. Minor? Yes but for cricket that's extreme!

Hopefully today the local lads neck up and get some wickets so it's on like DK biatches!

BTW, how is Aus 7/520dec a domination by WI? Gayle's 5th quickest century is surely dominating but they are still behind the 8 ball

maybe not a domination but IF they can carry on its a much better start than us.
Compare WI to us at 300 balls.
