Great win to the lads but it wasn't a game of cricket. A good game is a contest like the Wildcats winning tonight against Gold Coast but the cricket was never a real contest - an Australian 2nd X1 would be more competitive than the West Indies - enjoyed Warner's innings but the Windies are a second rate team who we should belt every time - Gayle and Pollard aside, they are not an international standard 20/20 team.
Don't watch cricket played in Oz much, cant handle those idiot commentators and the delayed telecasts they use. Wish they would just let Fox Sports take care of it like they do with everything that's off shore cricket wise and show it as it happens, minimal commercials after each over. And yes, bring on the footy. While I'm at it, did anyone watch the V8's in Dubai over the weekend? What a fantastic venue. Everything a racing team could possibly want. But, there was one thing that was seriously missing........ Where was the crowds? Empty seats all over the place. If that happened here in Oz, the V8's wouldn't go back to there, but with all the money the Ahab's have to throw around, they will keep going back regardless of the crowds

I reckon we could produce 4
I reckon we could produce 4 or 5 teams that could beat that mob tonight. What was the story with bowling from behind the umpire?
And I have to say, its just not cricket that 20/20. I would still prefer to watch a test match.

a pretty ordinary summer
This would have to just about go down as one of the most boring summers of cricket, given the quality (read that lack of) opposition....
Between the Windies and Pakis.... not really much to choose from..
But I guess credit to the Aussies... If they struggled thru the series, they have would have been hammered by all.
Bring on next summer and the Ashes !!!!!

Was a bit funny seeing
Was a bit funny seeing Warner quickly change stance to bat left handed, only to be deemed by umpire as being "not in the spirit of the game".
I dont think the 20/20's have quite the same spirit as traditional formats.
