Disappointment of the day:
Shane Watson going a bit mad with the bat and getting bowled 2nd ball.
Riskiest player of the day:
Jesus Hads, could you stop going for a second run when there ain't one there? A girl's heart can only take so much.
Hads's bitch of the day:
Poor Dougie got yelled at and told what to do, and then got run out with another of Hads's risky calls for a run.
Interesting commentary of the day:
My Lord being referred to as "a dangerous tail-ender".
Luckiest moment of the day:
Chris Gayle calls for a review on an LBW decision of not out and third umpire agrees with on-field ump. It was clearly, I thought, out.
Old fart of the day:
Mussey made such hard work of his 41, I thought they were going to have to wheel him off.
Best catch of the Day:
Random Aussie guy in the crowd who caught Hads's 6 one handed (the other was holding a beer). Excellent.
Worst collapse of the day:
Once Clarke went, the rest just fell apart.
Well, done to the West Indies. Good day in the field. Can we please get rid of Gayle first thing, though?
P.S. thought you might all be interested to know that my mum, who also loves cricket and is able to watch these tests in real time, has been posting commentary on my facebook profile for me (on the off chance that I am up in the wee hours and cruising facebook rather than watching the cricket)(?). She has started referring to Hauritz as "your Nathan" as in "your Nathan just went for 17 runs".
I love it.

I love Old fart of the day.
And the fact that the Windies are putting up a fight.
She has started referring to Hauritz as "your Nathan"...
:-)
Leela, I've missed you xxx Well done on India becoming #1 again. They've been absolutely fantastic.
Purna, I think even Australian fans are pleased the West Indies have put up a fight. No one wanted a complete arse-kicking of such a half arsed side. However, we still want to win the series, so are pleased Gayle is out there fighting on his own now. :-)
Credit, btw, to Lou (below - profile not available so I can't make a link to it) for pointing out that the Muss made hard work of the battine. She was so right.
