Can't bazball a bowling line up with Hazlewood, Cummins, Boland (Starc in reserve) and a batting lineup that has the #1 - 3 top test batsmen in world cricket currently. And it wasn't even that top 3 which did the heavy lifting for Australia. England usually overrates alot of what they do not only i...

I like how jinks showed up after being treated very poorly by the selectors over the past 18 mnths

pato

That Australia innings was complete ineptitude to be honest from the batters apart from Smith and Marnus, why continue to play the sweep when there are other shots that could have been used, i mean any cross shot will be risky especially against quality spinners. Test cricket needs to be competitive...

I see BC is around so we'll see what impact that has in the future. I did notice a more positive batting approach in the second test from WI, Gabriel didn't look to bad with his rhythm this time around either but we'll see

who is the chinese fella they questioning? Michael Wei - Tech Maintenance Mgr. Sad to say but locally outside of the O&G majors, these projects are commonly coupled with poor Risk Analysis and Emergency Response Plans. This was the culture at Petrotrin and it simply continued, alot of smaller o...

Bowling line up looks good especially leaving out Gabreil

Kinda reminds of the cornel/chester dynamic in the rock world a few yrs ago, more so if drugs etc were involved.

More or less the same squad going to India. My only concern is Bravo, I'm sure it have someone else that could take his place. I think he getting picked as an anchor for the batting, not sure if it makes any sense for the t20s since the batting is fairly long with allrounders but he may prove more ...

Also ashes starting soon, plenty of talking points especially with stokes making his comeback and well paine's indiscretions.

As a big fan of test cricket I find it difficult to watch this west indies team, and it seems no one cares. Gabriel seems to have lost his rhythm over the last few yrs, his action is out of sync badly and cornwall is still getting picked. I feel it for holder as he is a very good all round cricketer...

Best game of the tournament so far for me today, NZ kept going till the end.

Morgan is a very smart cricketer, it will be interesting to see the change with roy out injured. Test Cricket ftw in recent times as someone above mentioned.

pato

I dont think morgan used his spinners wisely today but in my opinion he is an exceptional captain, it also dosent help that csk batting goes deep.

pato

KKR for me, I think Morgan is great captain but CSK batting is something else this year

Atleast we have the IPL resumption to look forward to, DC looks a good unit again

Dizzy, I am curious, removing rahul's ton, why did you say that he was on a "pained 16" ?

Windies up against the Aussies from the 9th. Let's see what they do My question is why is coach Simmons still there? The limited success in T20's so far I believe is down to players coaching themselves instead of him, while in tests the lack of experience and coaching is really showing. Where is th...

The problem is that at 11 years this exam shapes you during some of your most important personal growth years. You can take 2 of the exact same students, same upbringing, same parental status/support. Put one in Pres and one in Marabella and they are totally different people after 5 years. Totally ...

Backing India for this but NZ could have the edge mainly because they just had good practice and they are playing in known conditions. Ind have to come good So said so done One of the commentators spoke about Team India's balance and maybe playing an extra swing bowler instead of 2 spinners because...

They are duncy. Plain talk. Talent there but they have no learning curve. All.those flashy shots by the top order batsmen throughout the series Kinna reminds me of Sarwan who insisted on hooking/pulling even when he was set up for it WI was trying to lose this match by lunch time. Dem fellas want t...

Today matches both WI vs SA and Ind vs NZ was boring. WI as usual just trying to survive the 5 days though they might just make it another 3 day test. India just trying to bat as long as possible. Pujara batting is just wasted time just like rain falling. Pujara is a classic test match batter my fr...

Agreed, Powell has good technique, his confidence needs a boost and he should be ok

Any predictions for the WTC Final ? NZ pacers reminds alot of the early 2000's era aussie pacers

pato

Pujara is ole school, you dont see players like him anymore , maybe because of IPL , T20 etc. Not good signs for the Windies for the next few years if IND & Aus keep churning out young players like they have. Gill and Pucovski have outstanding technique and timing as opening batters
