When too much cricket is barely enough.

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

OK it's all over now bar the shouting - Australia won the series 2-0, but apart from the first test it was hugely entertaining and the West Indies gave a good account of themselves. Amazingly the Windies bowlers prevented any Aussie scoring a century, while they managed three for the series.

Pick of the Windies for me were fast bowler Kemar Roach, spinner Suleman Benn and of course captain and master batsman Chris Gayle.

Best Aussie performances came from the bowlers: Doug Bollinger was very impressive with his work effort, pace and accuracy and is already being compared to Merv Hughes for his tenacity and committment. And once again Nathan Hauritz has confounded his critics (including me) with a brilliant exhibition of off-spin bowling and another bag of wickets. Best batting came from openers Shane Watson and Simon Katich ... an opening combo that will be hard to shift I think.

Next test is the Boxing Day test against Pakistan in Melbourne. CAN'T WAIT!
