Australia tour of West Indies, 2025 Discussion thread, 3 Tests and 5 T20Is

[Gollum]

WI touring NZ for 3 test series this December.

 

We play NZ in 2 test series next year.

 

Any logic? Is Kane mama making their schedule?

SA NZ want more LOIs than tests with India.

Don't worry it will be a short lived experiment.  West Indies also hosted Australia for a 3 Test series and we all saw how that 3rd match panned out. 

 

Both NZ and WI will regret making it a 3 Test series

But Kane mama will walk away with 600 runs. Hasee mazak mein he will end his career averaging 60+, already reached 55.

We should force 1 extra test for additional T20s then. As such we tour there once in 5-6 years.

So Aus got to chase in all the 5 matches.

Probably. They made this schedule for this cycle  probably after seeing West Indies draw 2 match series in Australia and Pakistan. 

 

To be very fair to Kane Mama, he averaged 65 last year when England toured 

 

He's a monster in home conditions regardless of opponent(except Aussies)

Australia has the most explosive T20 line up at the moment,all of them are tall having long levers

They are just trying to build a team that even if blindly wields their bat it goes over the ropes

T20 hitting keeps getting redefined in matters of few months

But WI bowling is real filthy. Not sure how the heck they will compete.

Windies have a decent pace attack. If Kane makes 600 on normal NZ pitches, fair play to him.

 

That's better than someone failing constantly at home in spin conditions even against likes of Lanka and Eng

The comparison does not validate his 55 average. He just called out Williamson for his statpadding, which is a fact.

Yeah all I am saying even scoring at home in tough conditions isnt as easy as it sounds

West Indies own  angry rant man  This was after 27 all out

Windies hv lost 5 consecutive t20 matches at home.  And are well on their way to lose the 6th right now (vs Pooks).
