Aussies too hot for West Indies to handle

All Aussies need is 6 1/2 days to complete the 2 Test series against West Indies - In the process they have made a clear underlying and a strong statement to Englishmen ahead of the Ashes series.



Such is the performance of the Aussies team, that baring Taylor, Bishoo and to an extent Holder, none of the West Indies could face the heat of the Aussies bowlers. That West Indies crumbled to 144 in the 2nd innings speaks the line and length with which Aussies exploited them.

Having said that, baring Bravo and Samuels (in the 1st match), West Indies, did not have seniors in the side capable of facing a strong steadfast Aussies. They rather played with a 'B' team who were very circumspect right from the word 'go'.

West Indies and Ramdin have got a lot to ponder. They need Gayle, Lendl Simmons who can take the batting form to the opposition. When players like Bravo, Naraine and Pollard are in the team, the complexion of the team will surely change.

Thus for the sake of cricket staying in West Indies for a longer duration, it is high time someone in the West Indies Management raise their head, bring the Management and the IPL players into one common platform and make these gentlemen play for West Indies Test team.
