00:00from the west indies persuasion however i think they need to break the game down into
00:23session by session and then even breaking that session down and look to this for a session
00:29and almost concede the first 15 to 20 minutes potentially half hour
00:33as you mentioned yesterday rightfully there is a period of time where you need to invest
00:40extra bounce there from josh hazlewood
00:45onto the glove of roston chase and that's where the great challenge lies batting on this 22 yards
00:53you did elute it in your pitch report the bounce variable inconsistent
01:02still some seam movement off the surface
01:04the beauty there from hazlewood that's a proven length that we've seen generally
01:17from fast bowlers who've been successful in this test match
01:21these two balls are glimpsed into the difficulty skilled quality
01:35appeal comes but
01:36we'll wait to see what the signal is from the empire there is a discussion
01:48pat cummings contemplating the review
01:50and he's gone for the review
02:04i'm the director we have a play review for lbw
02:08on field decision not out check the voters beat fair delivery front on
02:13pizza
02:27who cares that the ball got the inside edge can i just go to ultra edge confirm the baton right back please
02:32keep running forward just go back to frame there please thank you go forward
02:49just get back two frames for me please
02:54slow down slow down
03:02just let's just slow it down
03:09roll it forward
03:12roll it forward
03:15there's a
03:17there's a clear spike at the balls next to the bat ready to make my decision
03:23go back through to knitting
03:29this you can save the original not out decision
03:31your on screen standby
03:34review loss end of the over 58 for four
03:43nice film push by ross and cheese he will get a couple of runs
03:46dropped
03:57dropped difficult chance
04:03let's say that's a real opportunity
04:05one that has to stick but he could blame the young man hands up hands across
04:18it's always a real instinct chance and you try to get your head in your hands in your right position and allow it to stick
04:24you think he did as much as he could do
04:33drop
04:39brandon king just trying to drive a wider delivery on the up we just spoke about the high risk
04:45involved
04:45in playing a stroke like this he gets a chance lady luck on his side
04:54we're too short for that drive and he has flashed at it hard and I guess he
05:02thinking is if I get a edge over the slips it hasn't given a chance this man
05:08will feel luck is against him let go and Josh Hazelwood has taken the top of
05:20off stuff
05:27they are just relentless
05:30so the missed chance by Alex Carey doesn't cost too much damage but what
05:40they've done is that they've pulled a lot straighter at Brandon King in particular
05:45and chase this morning it's not Mitchell start pushing the ball across it's
05:51Hazelwood homing in at the stumps 26 to King 72 for 5
06:00she hoped look a lad last batted in a test match in 2021 in Sri Lanka and so
06:11that will excite these little ones that is right in his arm and of the three
06:21seamers Mitchell start does tend to give you opportunities to score more than the
06:28other two
06:31well serious shot
06:36beautiful transition into that with the balance as well can't fault that at all
06:42really
06:45well those two shots are getting this crowd going that isn't just as good as the
07:12previous delivery I mean that that straight drive yes it was in the air as a past
07:17Mitchell start
07:24control but she hope looks
07:27in a very positive mood I haven't seen the short ball at him yet
07:34and right off the bottom of the bat there so yeah it looks like he's going to play
07:43shots particularly anything full there's an angry Gary into the attack
07:52yeah this surface should suit night the line I think it will bounce it and there should be some turn there as well
08:05yeah too fast some reaction but a little bit too soon and goes for four
08:17you know good times the cheese
08:20probably is perhaps a bit harsh to call that a drop cap it already feel to the
08:28rate of this one for Roger yeah no time ready to react
08:32some cheese do you take every run so close
08:41let down the ground positivity from she hope a wonderful strike
08:49yeah this is where Weston is continues to be good it being cautious but they did also
09:00being able to adjust and be positive when it's been in their zone you need to
09:06remain positive on the surface as such another wonderful strike this time from
09:14the captain rostom cheese languid and elegant all the way for six
09:23yeah mr. Mahers no there isn't a weakness in this one in the top but on this
09:29surface piece is probably more potent so why not take on Nathan lion really good
09:36calculation really good tactics and even better execution from wolf buyers
09:44runs 50 partnership comes up that will be a boundary off the bat so she hope moves on
09:54four more valuable runs
09:59about the pitch and then you talk about the pool getting a little bit older just the conditions in
10:07in general so the amount of swing in the first session yesterday in day one 1.28 degrees day two so far in
10:16this session 0.5 so a lot less
10:20and just reinforcing the point the boat heel from barbita so very familiar with the conditions 125 for five
10:33shot
10:36at this stage in the game though with you know just over 10 minutes to go I think the Australians could probably go all
10:46out and just have you know virtually no one in front of square and and have a fly slip and and really
10:54send a message to shea hope that yet just about every ball is not going to be in your half
10:59for forward but there's another way to get a chance doesn't really matter so if she wants we
11:01can be
11:13yeah
11:13just want to check that again
11:17yeah
11:17yeah
11:21as we have another look
11:26great to see bullers showing that commitment supporting each other
11:33good work just releasing at the right time
11:42good response from hope
11:51ross and cheese seven away from half century remember this is his first test as captain
11:58newly appointed captain of the wesley's men's test side also his 50th test match as a player
12:09so well on his way to making it a special test match for himself
12:14see that because for the south and trinidad and tobago it's been raining a lot
12:22there we are bail off end of the first session on day two and a mini victory for the western
12:34these in terms of how they've played just conceding one wicket and a solid partnership between ross and
12:41chase the captain and she hope it's been brilliant to watch the application the shot selection from
12:50these two that commitment to wanting to get their team in a dominant position
12:59western is trailing by 45. sun is out in all its glory australia have had some chance to
13:05re-assess another battling session on the way
13:17the first runs after lunch
13:21goes again nip back into Shea Hopi he closes his body off at times meaning that his left
13:38side doesn't always open up as the ball comes back into him and therefore oftentimes he looks
13:49discomfited when the ball nips back like that with no leg gully it's reviewed straight away
14:02Chase thinks he's edged it maybe TV Empire to director the play review for LBW on field decision
14:11out checked about his feet, fair delivery front on piece
14:27now the ball is close to the bat clear ultra edge confirm bat no bat piece
14:41just standing by old bridge
14:48just want to go back two frames just rather slowly please
14:56just go back the frame there is a spike but the ball is a long way from the bat
15:02just keep going one more frame
15:04with the gap between bat and ball on the left-hand side no bat involved ball tracking ready please
15:20the shots are off impact in line wickets hitting
15:26Richard you can stay with the original decision of art
15:28the on screen signal now the decision will be out i i disagree with the decision i disagree with the
15:39technology there i thought he hit that but somehow
15:46it's worked against rust and chase 44 to him 139 for six
15:50the less justin graves replaces rust and chase
16:02one of only two centurions for the west indies in 2020 point test match cricket
16:09local boy himself
16:21they do go for the review again
16:35ball past class to the left can i go to ultra edge please confirm global no glove please
16:41keep going through keep going through all the way through uh no loving ball with the fat lines
16:53will pass to the bat uh richard you can stay with the original not out decision standby on screen signal
17:00and pull the way there is protection there so they've sort of decided to go to that short ball
17:13ball against she hope
17:19very well played though
17:22just rolling the wrist on it to get it down he knows that there are two feelers out in the deep
17:28it's a good technique from hope
17:37soft hands and perhaps some peace being lost on the surface as the sun bakes on it
17:44so the edge not carrying
17:50you know a bounce slow piece
17:51just away from the feeling will not get to the boundary should be three
18:01i think i've gotten a hand to it it was in the air for a while
18:08glorious all along the carpet it will challenge the boundary
18:19another three and for hope
18:28ball webster
18:31with justin graves rule getting justin graves himself
18:34his vigil comes to an end good channel once again by boy webster
18:42a little bit of movement and extra bumps enough of a feather
18:54an easy catch for alex keery making amends for his earlier drop
18:58the webster plane is royal to perfection justin graves gone for four
19:05west indies 153 for seven new batter for the west indies alzari joseph
19:17of the match for the way he has a best of 86 alzari joseph
19:22educated edge will get the full
19:36soft times from joseph definitely not intended for it to go there
19:44the beauty of test cricket
19:46so it is not only runs and wickets but time
19:52inside edge that's a wonderful touch from alex carey
19:58that is superb she hope is walking and bo webster again with another important
20:05breakthrough absolutely brilliant
20:08fair delivery front line please
20:28okay there's a clear deflections and i need for ultra edge just best angle for the catch please thank you
20:33just uh walk and roll there for me please and just freeze it as the ball is by the keeper's glove
20:42just roll forward keep going forward
20:48yeah please thank you just a bit of uh zoomer please
20:55yeah balls in the keeper's gloves
20:57slowly slowly
21:22uh can you zoom i just want to make sure that uh
21:27balls inside the keeper's gloves and that doesn't make it a concrete to the ground
21:35keep running for me keep going forward keep going forward keep going forward
21:38okay thank you the balls cleanly in the wicket keepers gloves ready to make my decision for the big screen
21:52well there's not many fans of adrian holstock in the west indies at the moment flabbergasted
22:09one 62 for eight
22:17crunched nice sold off the bat good result for joseph
22:22it's a beautiful shot and i think the emotions at the ground are a little bit high at the moment
22:36i think the west indies have been on the receiving end of um some of these calls
22:42this is a really nice shot but there's a wide half volley deserved the treatment
22:52and four more
22:55went ariel on that occasion opened the blade
22:59looked intentional from uh shemar joseph and two consecutive boundaries to end the over 170 feet
23:07a deflection surely before the ball made contact with the stumps but importantly there is another
23:19wicket for the australians
23:26yeah there can't be any debate about that one that's what mitchell stark was trying to do was
23:31trying to go full and at the stumps didn't quite get it right
23:37hit the front pad of shemar joseph and then ricocheted onto the stumps
23:44so the australians keep making inroads now into the west indies it's going to be
23:49just about even stevens after both first innings shemar joseph goes for eight off as many deliveries
23:56one 171 for nine
23:59topped
24:01down the ground and it will go all the way
24:05clean strike by alzari joseph and now the west indies team goes ahead
24:20like that from
24:26alzari joseph he's a good striker of the baller i've seen him bat before and obviously he just
24:32thought well if this is going to be anywhere near my stump so i'm going after it
24:40unintentional
24:43and alzari joseph recognizes that it's an opportunity for him to make here while the sun shines
24:50he was watching josh hazelwood here just after that edge flew away just turned around walked back to
24:59his mark it can get very frustrating but joseph just throwing caution to the wind and getting away with
25:08that one
25:14very well taken
25:17though webster was coming in and that was traveling and nathan lyon
25:21has his first wicket of the match
25:23and it is the end of the west indies innings with the lead of 10
25:31always thought this would be the challenge can they hold the nerve the answer is no
25:36it was flighted it was full eyes lit up head tilted back
25:45jayden seals gone for two west indies all out for 190
25:49a lead of 10. okay security brandon king couple 20s couple starts
25:56for the real partnership roston chase sheeho 44 and 48 respectively
26:05both questionable decisions by the third and five with the technology
26:11alzari joseph tried to rally with the tail got 23 not out
26:15the 190 all told and a leader 10.
26:21start with three wickets continue to probe so to the hazelwood and pat cummins nathan lyon picking up
26:27the last wicket of the innings crucial interventions from bo webster who got the ball to deviate laterally
26:36swing and seam and bounce now constance and kawaja will try to stable the west indies on a surface that
26:44still has something in it not as much as b1 in jayton seals first port of call with
26:50this to see whether he can find some outswing
26:59it's so easy you've gone back on to the stars
27:06continuing as he left off in the first innings
27:09we'll see a well played late but i think that's a little too late
27:19this constance comes on strike
27:30oh no my goodness me john campbell and shama joseph again
27:36what is it that this young man has to do for them to hold on to his catches seriously
27:49it's tremendous hard work and graft planning execution by shama joseph and none of the above by his fielders
28:06by his fielders oh my goodness me and of all people justin graves supposedly the best of those catchers
28:23shama joseph
28:24shama joseph
28:28this twice in the over
28:33some things are non-negotiables
28:44and the other guys may want to have a look again
29:03one force of constance off the mark after a couple of lives
29:14a good running that's slightly shorter part of the field good effort by jamel or can
29:23no need to check the boundary is constant collage completed four
29:32boundary as it runs or leg buys leg buys
29:37you can see shama joseph looking for that one that tracks back a little too short a little too
29:48straight
29:51none to his figures four to the aussie total
29:55so i think if we see a pitch map
30:11admiral good length pulling from shama joseph through it all the back edge of a good length
30:17and he's finding himself after his hot start to test match cricket in australia
30:21i think he lost the knowledge of the inside of what is his ideal length as a short skinny bowler
30:30in this test match though i think we're starting again to see the best of that
30:38and his understanding of what that length is 17 without loss
30:42and they've continued with that ploy wrong the wicked to the left-handed kawaja they've produced a
30:56couple opportunities of some constance they haven't held on and they'll feel aggrieved with the third
31:02umpire not going in their fever so it's been a sort of unfortunate series of events from a west indian
31:12perspective
31:18i'll tell you what greg as we see that one dribbling into the boundary for four
31:24one of the best exponents of exactly what you're talking about there is kee maru she has the ability
31:32to bowl from around the wicket and then leave the left-handers it's taken quite a few wickets
31:39with that plan of course he's not part of the west indies squad
31:46and that should be leg buys not much she hope could have done there but he's worked diligently in
32:00the first innings the shamar joseph just on some consistency pretty new to test match cricket
32:08oh huge shout finger goes up the wicket for west indies they'll think about the review in fact he
32:24takes the review is this the first one we'll have to find out to the umpire two director we have a
32:31preview for lbw until decision out i took the bonus feet straight away so he must think it was too high
32:54it doesn't appear to be any back but just ultra it's confirmed batter no bat please
32:59there's a clear gap between bat and ball no bat involved ball tracking ready please
33:21original decision is art pitching out it off in fact in line
33:26wickets umpire's pool you can stay original art decision standby
33:34one screen signal it is the first wicket for the west indies the first wicket in this test match
33:41for alzari joseph and reasons to celebrate musman kawaja goes for 15 27 for one
33:55only wicket for the west indies means that cameron green gets another opportunity at number three
34:04to send freeze to his name
34:06good stride off the mark 28 for one
34:17god he's chopped it on
34:23and shema joseph finally gets his man he dismissed him in the first innings couple of catches already
34:31of constance went down in this innings and he gets him courtesy of a chop on
34:36he decides to take matters in his own hands shamar joseph and this will go down as bull
34:45and ricochets onto the stumps just loves getting wickets against this opposition
34:52constance goes cheaply and goes for five and 34 for two
35:05josh english
35:07the rise of the creation kira selman hello good afternoon to you
35:11joseph and you know as a former bowler yourself you're loving this test guy
35:23had a couple of nice strides into the ball from the start of his innings green
35:30that's a good example of it it's right up there
35:33he started his innings quite positively cameron green you understand why west knees are bowling full
35:42to him so often he's caught on the crease yeah it was a super shot indeed
35:50jaden seals to replace him or joseph good from west indies different roston chase keeping his best
35:56baller's on
36:14is that sliding down
36:19she who and roston chase indicating such
36:26is
36:35i'm going to look at that again
36:37just wide on the angle from jaden seals that intend to push the ball into the right-handed english
36:44just over the stumps
36:50just over the stumps
36:52that was very very close
36:55even she hope was surprised by that delivery
36:58this is absolutely gone
37:11i don't think anyone expected that not even jaden seals
37:14and dylan king will be thinking
37:21i remember when i made that decision a little bit earlier
37:23he wasn't lucky enough to survive
37:28worked on side in the gap that's four more a real loose delivery by justin graves
37:37that's close that's close he got a big shot in
37:41and the finger goes up albeit delayed
37:44he'll consider the review i'm sure cam green and he goes for it
37:52tv umpire 2 director we have a player review for lbw
37:57on field decision out i've checked about his feet
38:01fair delivery
38:02front line please
38:07doesn't appear to be any bats
38:10alter it's confirmed back in the back please
38:12keep going it through keep going through keep going through all the way to the pad
38:23no bats involved ball trackman ready please
38:29original decision is out
38:32pitching out sort of impact the line
38:35wickets missing
38:37which i need you to reverse your heart decision to not out standby
38:42but we screen signal
38:48decision reversed
38:55in similar fashion to brandon king jaden seals gets one to jack back and hit top of off
39:03delicious delivery
39:12there was a warning a few overs ago this time a little bit fuller and top of all
39:23that is the request of every captain every fan every coach and that is the aim of every seam bowler
39:30and jayden seals brought a delivery
39:35josh english gone for 12 australia 57 for three
39:39in comes a game changer travis head the top scorer in the first innings for australia he's at the crease
39:48and he's absolutely need this wicket there should be no misconceptions about how important getting travis head is
40:02that's a rare time that he's gone too full from that end and travis head needs no second invitation
40:16yeah it's a nice shot here from travis head i mean
40:21that wasn't that much over pitch really but he's just got beautiful hands through the ball i mean
40:30all of the australian batters so far have struggled to time the ball
40:34this time justin graves brilliant the catching sound and the western knees with their hard work and
40:46discipline continue to reap dividends
40:49oh this is huge the west indies have taken another wicket short of a length and
41:03cameron green will be really disappointed with that shot just lunging onto the front foot
41:09short of a length just throwing his hands at the ball and he's got the outside edge so
41:15struggled for his 15 off 47 65 for four
41:21game in the balance the lead is just 55 bo webster comes to the crease giant of a man
41:36what that does folks at home is that it doesn't allow seals who's homing in on a good length quite often
41:45the ball to the same batsman over and over and over
41:53second shot
41:55tall bo webster
41:58and that's mccann green in the middle of the both giants
42:00yes this is one of bo webster's favorite shots he he's a tall man but he short of a length he loves just
42:10getting up on his toes and then pushing that ball through in between cover and point
42:15and even though there's protection in the deep he's hit it so well bo webster
42:27and that jumel work and didn't have a chance not too far from him but four nonetheless
42:32he picked the name so early got into position just look at the way he gets on top of the bones
42:41crunches this one through point
42:43to the right to offer jumel work on and yet again he can't get there
42:59off the back foot and off the front foot a couple boundaries for webster 83 for four
43:06yeah that's crunch really well placed and timed
43:17bo webster on the front foot elegant
43:21really timing it
43:32able to just press on that one seems equally good off the front and back foot
43:38it's all happening you're right whenever shamar joseph has the ball in hand something just keeps
43:50happening
44:03there will require a bit of treatment
44:08now that ball just spitting at him
44:14from that good length we've seen that variable bounce as well throughout the test match
44:20some going through a little bit lose some bouncing it is a patchy pitch last ball of the second day here
44:32i can see the normal
44:37safely negotiated by travis head and they will end day two with an overall lead of 82
44:46six wickets in hand six wickets in hand and this session yielded 92 runs for those four wickets
44:56so another gripping day of test match crickets this is where things stand
45:03180 and played 190 a lead of 10 before the western is australia second to 92 for four overall
45:13and they lead by 82 six wickets remaining
45:27you
45:27you
