West Indies V's Aus?? Day 3??

Question

Well a big Congratualtions is going out to our openers in Simon Katich and Phil Jaques..Both reached their centuaries to take Australia to a prime position of 3/330 at close of play...

Phil Jaques scored a brilliant 108 before been dismissed..

Simon scored a Teriffic,UN beaten 148..

This was an OUTSTANDING performance by our 2 openers,they put up a mammoth 223 partnership stand!!

Currently at close of play on Day 3 Australia sit in a comfortable 3/330...

That is a lead of 335 Runs ....

My Question:What do you think will be Simon Katich's score?

Do you think Ricky will declare?(Tomorrow is Day4)...

What score do you think Ricky should declare at?? ........

Answer 1

I hope Katich will get a double ton

Still two days left so plenty of time for him to reach the milestone before Ricky declares

I reckon about 450 would be a good enough score to make the declaration.

Go Aussies

Answer 2

for rest of the test match

Answer 3

maybe another 20 or 30 runs for katich

i recon punter will declare at tea if we last that long with a lead of 450-500

the windies will make a good effort but fall about 150 short

more if we can finaly get chanderpaul out

Answer 4

Yeah what a day the boys had at the crease..

Well done to both of them,it's great anytime our boys get a 100 but to have 2 do it on the same day is even better..

Well if the Kat is on 148 i'd say he will reach somewhere around 170,i then think Ricky might declare,which would give the Aussies a good lead of somewhere around 400+....

But knowing Ricky he will push as far as he can so i would'nt be surprised it he dos'nt declare until we have a lead of 450-500....

We have the men to be able to get that sort of lead,but what ever way you look at it i rekon we have this one in the winners bag...

Answer 5

Yeah,that was a good opening partnership between Jacques & Katich.India needed one such yesterday though.Simon katich can score a double hundred or he may not,lol.

I think even though 2 days are left,Australia will add more than 150 runs & declare.Target off 500 is more than enough.They should be looking to destroy West Indies.Lets see.

Answer 6

Hi Ange

To put it simply!

I think Katich will score 218 runs! (just a random guess)

And i think Ponting should bat another 2 sessions (100 a session) leaving Aus with a massive 500+ lead, meaning Australia cant lose the match! so they cant draw the series.

Answer 7

Since Australia already have a comfortable lead, they will try for aquick runs on day 4 and as such Simon Kaitch will not be able to score a double century.  I strongly feel that Ricky Ponting will declare after getting an overall lead of 450 runs.

Answer 8

Yeah simon kat will score 200+ and aussie's will declare at 450+ that will see that will leave a tea and a day to bowl windes out .

Answer 9

Yeah good stuff Katich. Great to see him amongst the runs and he so deserved the chance back in the baggy green and he hasnt let anyone down.

Answer 10

I don't think he will get many more then that, after having got that, his guard will be down tomorrow & he will go fairly quickly i should think. I hope Ponting doesn't declare too soon. Remember S.Africa! lol
