Josh, not Mitch, gets the breakthrough.

2 down

Kraigg out for 10...he's not exactly cementing his place at the top of the order, is he?

Now, Lil Bravo out to the spinner for 19....

Will Gayle ever come back?

Brathwaite got a ton against England. Bravo had a good series, averaged 40.

Am I the only person looking at this Aussie XI thinking.... it really doesn't look that good?

A few players in there I think you wouldn't mind bowling to

Mitch gets the third wicket.

Great attack, with Harris to return. The batting is ok. Better than England's.

Good question...the way Shiv was treated, who can blame him for putting T20 cricket first?

Now, Shai Hope, the 21-year old who has only played 15 FC matches for Barbados, and none of them as opening batsman, is out.

Lunch 85-3

Dowrich 15*

Samuels 3*

Gone quite badly now for WIs.

Rogers will be back as well.

West Indies might struggle to make 150.

The Aussie bowlers have shared the wickets around so far.

Who will make way for Harris, if anyone does?

7 Down now, perhaps WI will need to throw the bat here to get above 150.

Clarke, Smith, Warner, Rogers? Significantly better top 4 than England's. Their bowling is shredding a side England struggled against.

The team still has Watson in it though, and Warner will either make a big score or little. Rodgers is a solid opener, but nothing special.

And Clarkes back will get a working out from the England quicks. Indeed, Wood will cause him some real trouble i reckon. Looking at that Aussie team in terms of batting, i can only really see Smith and Warner being batsman who will make the England bowlers loose any sleep.
