Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[|MINER|]

I noticed about the patience of West Indies batting team but not patience in their batting form. The players of West Indies team could not perform as Test match because of fall of wickets from the beginning West Indies team players are not experienced about Test match. Coming to the second innings, they performed so badly because they were completely exhausted under the pressure of the bowling of the Australian team. The West Indies team lost badly in the first test match, Australia team won by 10 wickets at the last minute.

You have notice a real thing on West Indies betting side. I also think that they came to play T20 here not Test series actually what is happended here that the west indies team are good for T20 they also trying their luck on test  series  by t20 format and that is why we are seeing the dumps on west indies team. I will say that australia team is gonna also win this match .

I will say that australia team is gonna also win this match .

The Australian team has already defeated the West Indies team by 10 wickets in this Test match. While every team in the cricket world is improving their team day by day but the West Indies team is only deteriorating day by day.

However, in this Test match, West Indies batted first and scored 188 runs in their first innings, then they were bowled out for just 120 runs in the second innings.Which resulted in just 26 runs by the target for Australia.This twenty-six runs Australia collected very easily without losing any wicket and reached the target of victory.

[synchronym]

In my point of view Australia has won the match. The match now stumped. On the next day I think West Indies will make approximately 100 runs lead and Australia will chase that target easily.
And if the West Indies want to win the match so West Indies needs one more Brian Lara who will make who made 400* runs. Otherwise I am not looking any chance of winning of West Indies team.

Australia's winning streak continues with no team able to stop them. We saw that Australia have won every series they have played since their win over India in the 2023 World Cup. Especially in the recently concluded Test series against Pakistan, the Australian team defeated the Pakistan team and even won the series. The Test series between West Indies and Australia is taking place now. Maybe Australia is going to win against West Indies in the first match of this Test series.

You are absolutely right because from 2023 world cup Australia team is performing great. Australia team is proving themselves that they are the current champion in every performance. Australia won the Test series with a brilliant performance against Pakistan. Keeping his consistency, Australia team is doing great performance against West Indies. The way they performed against the West Indies in both bowling and batting, it seems that Australia is going to defeat the West Indies by a huge margin like Pakistan in the Test series. Australia's batting line is very good and the way they are batting and bowling against the current West Indies, Australia played a really commendable game.

I noticed about the patience of West Indies batting team but not patience in their batting form. The players of West Indies team could not perform as Test match because of fall of wickets from the beginning West Indies team players are not experienced about Test match. Coming to the second innings, they performed so badly because they were completely exhausted under the pressure of the bowling of the Australian team. The West Indies team lost badly in the first test match, Australia team won by 10 wickets at the last minute.

op You are absolutely right that West Indies batsmen have absolutely no patience. If they had tried to bat patiently, they could have scored a little more runs in the first innings in the first Test match. The second innings had more batting failures than the first innings. So how the West Indies team will perform in the next Tests depends on the West Indies batsmen and bowlers, if they can perform well, they can certainly do well in the second Test. Of course the West Indies batsmen and bowlers should learn from the first Test that they need to improve their batting and bowling otherwise they will never get a Test series against Australia. If the West Indies batted in the second innings maintaining that consistency and batting in the second Test, they will lose worse against Australia. So if they don't pay attention to batting then Test matches against Australia will never be competitive.

Another point regarding IPL. I've said this many times, The IPL franchises will line up and start a bidding war for any player, given they are performing against India or better thrashing them in a contest.

Mind explaining reasoning behind the statement? Indian franchises paying more to players who thrash India?

In 2018 India's tour of England. Debutant Sam Curran frustrated Indians with his bat and ball and he was awarded with juicy IPL contract. In the last England's tour of India, Moeen Ali smashed the Indian bowlers for quick 50 in losing cause, earlier he was released by his franchise but CSK went to bid war for him.

Debutant Jamison also smashed India in bilateral and performed well. All Franchises went after him in an auction and he fetched around $1.5 million. The same thing happened with the Aussie all rounder Green, he murdered Indian bowlers in a T-20 bilateral and MI picked him.

Marco Jansen and Dewald Brevis/Baby AB (He performed against India in u-19 WC and got picked in IPL) are good examples as well and a recent addition from Proteas is Nandre Burger.

A recent example would be Travis Head. His last IPL appearance was way back in 2017 but He made 2 tons against India in WTC and WC finals and he also landed an IPL contract. There are so many examples from Windies, SL etc.

[Jateng]

In the second innings on Day 3, the West Indies team lost all their wickets for 120 runs. Only 25 runs lead to the Australian team which is very few runs will be possible for the Australian team batsmen to collect the score easily. Josh Hazelwood bowled brilliantly in today's match due to which he managed to take only 5 wickets from the West Indies team. West Indies batsmen did not play very well towards the end today which resulted in successive wickets falling and eventually losing all wickets. Anyway in the second innings when the Australian team comes out to bat they will surely fill the lead of 25 runs easily and they will play brilliantly to win the match and win the match. I have seen the previous two matches against the West Indies, the Australian team managed to win the match remarkably and it can be said that they will win today's match.

Australia win the opening test by 10 wickets against West indies and lead the series. Travis Head brilliant batting 119 runs made a big difference and earned him the well-deserved Man of the Match award. Australia demonstrated their ongoing excellence with the bat and ball with a commanding performance all out West indies in just 120 runs. Australia is demonstrated by the Test match's quick completion in just over two days. congratulation to Australia on a fantastic start to the series winners first match amazing performance against the West Indies.

There is no comparison between Australia and West Indies in test cricket. Australia is far better than the Caribbean team and this is their continuous win after defeating Pakistan earlier. It was expected that Australia would win the first match and they will win comfortably the second one too. What I liked about West Indies is that they did not get an innings defeat as their last batters batted well to give Australia a small lead.

According to the ICC Test Ranking, Australia team is at the highest position and West Indies is at number 8.The fact that the Australian team is number one, they have proved in the field that they deserve to be number one.

Australia team previously won the ICC Test Championship by defeating India. Since then they have not lost a Test match against any team. Similarly, against the West Indies, the Australian team won the test match by playing well. West Indies batted very poorly in their second innings with two of their batsmen getting out for no runs and none of their players scoring 30 runs. Australia's Hazelwood bowled brilliantly as he took five wickets with 35 runs in 14 overs.

[Nazmul012]

First test is done and aus just got the victory as expected. It was between Australia vs Wi, where team WI played below avarage and did 188 run But in 2nd  innings, wi performance became decreased than their 1st inning. Maybe Australian bowling was too accurate to face. Australia team proved themselves stronger again. Even they could won the test by an inning if they could manage to did 26 runs more in their 1st innings. Travis Head is man of the match by his century but i fell bad for Josh Hazlewood who got total 9wickets from two innings. This man also deserve something, maybe player of the series after 2nd test done between aus vs wi team. Let's wait till then

[synchronym]

Before the start of the West Indies vs Australia Test, everyone had an idea that maybe Australia will beat the West Indies by a huge margin. Team Australia has completed the first step. We have seen the great performance of Australia against Pakistan. Australia team performed brilliantly against Pakistan and won the Test series with a bang. Keeping his consistency, he is performing very well with the West Indies. Australia beat the West Indies by a big margin. If the batting of the West Indies team does not improve, if the bowling does not do well, then maybe we will not see a competitive game in the second Test match. Of course, if West Indies want to play well against Australia, they have to bat well. Because if the batting fails, it is never possible to do anything good against Australia. West Indies batted very badly in the second innings of the first Test match and if they bat like this then the West Indies team will not be able to do much in the second Test match against Australia.

In test cricket, only South Africa and Pakistan are competent against the pig-4 teams. Others like Bangladesh and West Indies are there just to make up the numbers. And that is the reason why I have always argued for a 6 or 7 team first division instead of the current 9 team setup. We can have pig 4 + SA + Pakistan in the first division and the other 6 teams in second division. But then, teams like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are never going to agree, because this would mean a demotion for them. ICC need to do it, if they want to save test cricket.

Australian International test cricket team is good side and West Indian International test cricket team is not quality team in test cricket. West Indian International cricketers are very proudy people and that's why ,they are in trouble. Australian International test cricket team is talented and hard working team. They will win this match easily and they will also win the whole series. Travis head played good inning and made century for his country. Hazelwood and Pat Cummins took 4,4 wickets and stoped the West Indian batters at lowest score.

There are definitely differences between the two teams Australia and West Indies, but the T20 matches between Australia and West Indies will definitely be much more interesting. In the previous post I said that the result of this match will be decided on the third day and the result of this match is decided on the third day but if Australia could have scored a few more runs in their first innings they could have beaten the West Indies by an innings. West Indies managed to score only 26 runs more than Australia in 2 innings and these 26 runs were the target for Australia and Australia collected these runs without a wicket. Fifty percent of these Test matches are decided before extra time.
Congratulations to the Australian team for winning this match very comfortably.

West Indies set a small target of just 26 runs. In the first innings itself we saw poor batting from the West Indies batsmen. Other than Kirk McKenzie, no other batsman could stay at the crease longer. McKenzie scored 50 runs. In the first innings, West Indies' innings stopped at just 188 runs. In the second innings too, as usual, we saw bad batting by the West Indies batsmen. The team collected only 120 runs.

Hazlewood bowled brilliantly in this match. He was able to take 4 wickets in the first innings and 5 wickets in the second innings. Hazlewood destroyed the West Indies top order. The match was likely to be a tight one, despite the West Indies being able to set a target of more than 150.

West Indies have played test matches, that's why their runs in two innings are so low, if they were given the condition that they have to hit one boundary after another without staying on the wicket, maybe they could have scored more runs. Most of the players that West Indies have have a very poor Test playing record as they don't want to play Tests much but prefer only T20 games the most. West Indies team is capable of scoring big in t20 but I don't know why they mess up their performance in test matches. Before the start of the Test series, most people thought that West Indies would not care against Australia and lose the Test series by a big margin. As the West Indies tour Australia to play a complete series, there is one more Test match left between the two teams.

Positions not matter because now difference of quality is surely widening which is talk of the cricketing community, and they want some justification about this right now we have few teams which are having better and acceptable quality in test format because mostly teams are losing their charm and finances as well due to this poor performance with right now we have only 3 countries which are having benefit from this with all others are down or few are out of this with have no chance for return because this all needed good discussion and also better management, but sadly ICC is completely failed to give any support due to internal issues and too much political influence from few countries.

We have WTC but here now they need to work on with just 8 teams allow for the ranking matches and other need to be down because this will create some better environment and competition other needs to be had play more matches before jumping into this ranking system matches we need changes like these.

West Indian batsmen have always struggled in Australia and this time also it was no different. In the past Brian Lara, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan were the ones who found themselves in trouble and now it is the turn of Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Kraigg Brathwaite. Kirk McKenzie was the only West Indian batsmen to get to a half century. Everyone else failed. The raw pace of Cummins, Starc and Hazlewood were a bit too much. These guys mostly focus on T20 and test format and bowlers with real pace were new for them.

[3kpk3]

Australia decimated the Windies as expected. Australia's odds were pretty good in some sites before the match started.

Hazlewood is in fine form these days while some other bowlers like Cummins, Lyon and Starc were alright. These sort of matches are making test cricket more and more boring and irrelevant if you ask me.

The way West Indies performed in the first Test match of West Indies vs Australia really looked like West Indies scored more runs in T20 matches than in Test matches. So the West Indies batsmen should have batted responsibly to give Australia a big run target if the first Test match was competitive. But West Indies batted very badly in the second innings compared to the first innings. Australia won easily by 10 wickets in the first test due to poor batting in the second innings. Ever since Australia team 2023 world cup champions they have been playing very well in every series they have played very well against Pakistan. He is expected to win the Test series against the West Indies as well.

You are right. The performance of West Indies players in Test format is very poor. Although they can play well in T20 format, we rarely see good performances from West Indies players in Test format. West Indies players have very little patience. No West Indies player can survive at the crease for long. And this is why we don't see West Indies players performing well in the Test format against the big teams.

West Indies players are not in good form now. This renowned team could not qualify for the last ODI World Cup. West Indies' poor performance started after several players in the squad retired simultaneously. I would say West Indies players need to be more patient and hard working. If not, we will not see good performance from this team in the future.

Most of the West Indies players who have been given opportunities are new players and inexperienced players. We go back to the West Indies team of yesteryear when Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Shivnarayaan Chandrapaul were regulars but their Test team was very strong as in other formats. The performance of the current players of the West Indies team is not promising. But I remember one West Indies batsman I watched playing was Brian Lara who single-handedly scored 400 runs in an innings which is still a world record in Test history. West Indies need a Brian Lara like this now so that they can play well and win the Test series as well.

Congratulation to Australia cricket team for a well-deserved victory by ten wickets in first match. The key to crushing the West Indies was Travis Head century scored 119 runs and the outstanding bowling performances of Pat Cummins and Hazlewood. i think in T20 encounters between Australia and the West Indies are expected to be more exciting. Australia win appeared effortless due to the West Indies very low traget of 26 runs in second inning. Hazlewood best bowler demonstrated his talent by bowling brilliantly in both innings which greatly aided Australia huge victory.
