That wasn't even three full days' play going by the overs bowled and the West Indies lost to a team made up of six players making their first class debuts with only two of the remaining 5 players having played more than 10 first class matches not including Tim Payne who came into the XI for the second innings which lasted only 2.5 overs anyway.

The West Indies are not only behind Bangladesh and Zimbabwe now, but also Ireland and Afghanistan. If the West Indies have Test status then why doesn't Ireland and Aghanistan? Any of these four countries should have been invited ahead of the West Indies.

Maybe Cricket Australia will offer tickets for free to ensure the stadiums in Hobart, Melbourne and Sydney get filled or at least don't end up being three-quarters empty?

Talk about a disaster and an embarrassing one at that!

How sad and pathetic. Cricket could certainly use a class Windies side -- those were the salad days of world cricket imo.
