It looks like you'll enjoy the Test series against the West Indies then as all three Tests against them are unlikely to go any further than three days each themselves given how woeful they are.

They're currently staring down the barrel of a defeat in the four day tour match against the CAXI. This is the outfit that were bowled out for 59 in 24 overs against NSW, 79 in 28 overs against Victoria and 101 in 27 overs against WA while conceding plenty of runs at high run-rates with few wickets taken.

Halfway into the tour game minus the 30 overs that were lost due to rain on Day 1, the West Indies at full Test match strength minus leading paceman Jerome Taylor were bowled out for 243 off 90.5 overs while the CAXI are 4/245 off 64 overs.

The CAXI is made up of players deemed not be up to state level and yet, weather permitting, it looks like they are going to comfortably defeat the West Indies Test team in four days (in three days had so much time not already been lost due to rain).

I wonder what sort of crowds the three Tests will get for the weakest and most woeful touring squad ever to tour Down Under for a Test series?

Can you please explain Algen, how the windies descended into the state they are now compared to the great days under LLoyd and Richardson ?
I never really read about it , but something dramatic must have occurred.
