It was a hard fought contest in the 2nd test between West Indies and Australia, but for Tiffin's dubious decisions WI would have had a decent chance of going into the 3rd decisive test with much more confidence. WI has showed lot of character in putting up a good show against Aussies, one bad day in the 1st test changed the game and Australia won the match. Chanderpaul with 330+ runs in the two tests and Sharwan scoring a ton in the 2nd test has been in great touch, if Bravo and other top order clicks its not going to be easy for the Aussies.
Aussies have had some rest before the final test for the fast bowlers in BrettLee, Clark to get back into their stride and really go all out in this final test match. I think MacGill will not be missed much, with the inclusion of Casson the slow left arm bowler, they have the mix to take all the 20 WI wickets in the test. Not to mention that Aussie batsmen are in good nick with Ponting,Symonds,katich coming good and its time that Hussey comes good in this final test. All in all its going to be an absorbing tussle and we can expect some quality cricket over the next 4-5 days.
On the T20 frenzy, it seems that Antiguan-based billionaire Allen Stanford has designed a 5 match series between England and West Indies which is going to make the England players real rich and the price money is 20 Million which is huge compared to even the richly rich IPL. I am sure Lalith Modi is watching this development closely and with no doubt IPL will get even more richer by innovating sponsorship deals in the coming years to ensure that IPL stays on top.
Good Times for cricketing community all around the world.
