When are these games played....are we getting to see them on Tv?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

It begins at the end of sept...I haven't seen anyone advertise it as yet so I'm guessing we banking on streaming

the two-tier test proposal has been shelved....Windies can be beaten by everyone now

the two-tier test proposal has been shelved....Windies can be beaten by everyone now

Was quite surprised WI supported the two tier system.
With our current low position and poor quality of players a second tier would be a financial disaster with tours home and away to the likes of Ireland, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. I assume the ICC would have been pumping quite a lot of developmental money into the 5 teams in the second tier.

Gayle and Simmons injured

[shake d livin wake d dead]

That odi squad lil iffy...I could live with the t20 side seeing that them two fellas injured....nice to see pooran in the mix...ramdin lucky he get pick for the odi

[*$kїđž!™]

Not feeling a strong side in t20 without gayle....Simmons....and Darren bravo...

[X_Factor]

I agree...OPQ will get serious now

[trent]

So Simmons gets sacked as coach...rumours were goin around for past few days...
When will the drama end...sigh

[racedriverpro]

^wi = drama

[shake d livin wake d dead]

So who is the new coach?????

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Speculation is jimmy Adams would be the new coach...interesting...

[racedriverpro]

Ian Bishop and Michael Holding I believe are the best Men for the job....but if wicb policy remains the same we would be spinning top in mud. Wicb are just eating good coaches and sheiting them out.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

what's the hold up with CARICOM mashing up WICB...they sticking !!!!!!!!!

For the Pakistan series, the WICB said the team would be under the supervision of former West Indies fast bowler Joel Garner, who is the team manager. He will work alongside the pair of assistant coaches Henderson Springer and Roddy Estwick.

[Dizzy28]

Becoming real easy to not study/support WI cricket anymore. But then who to support??
Sub continent teams are all that's essentially...the Aussies are racist, the English too full of themselves, the Saffers will decline with the racist quota system, Zimbabwe shouldn't even be an international team and New Zealand ...well there isn't much to really say bad about them.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

India will get my support especially for that big series against England

buh wta is this

[Dizzy28]

Pretty good read. Time has really flown because I didn't realize Sarwan's last test was was back in 2011 when he was still only 31.

September 16, 2016
Underwhelming in Tests, but superb in ODIs
S Rajesh
Ramnaresh Sarwan finished with a higher career average in ODIs than in Tests, which amply illustrates the format in which he was more comfortable.............http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/co ... 57221.html

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I coda swear he retired yuh know...

[Miguel000]

ramdin actually make it back on a WI squad
didnt expect that!!

yea but that's because he's a specialised wicketkeeper...one of the best in the Caribbean

[X_Factor]

but WICB doesnt really have the knack in picking the best players for the team
and with his fb rantings against WICB...u know nah....didnt expect it

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Hahah^ true thing...he has to prove himself in this series otherwise its all over for him..

[Miguel000]

Hahah^ true thing...he has to prove himself in this series otherwise its all over for him..

Ya'll forgot that ramdin has a couple 50's in cpl this year and brought back knight riders from a losing position once although they still lost that match. so idk

Boy stats ain't really mean nothing with this wicb board...ah mean Phil simmo led them to a t20 world cup win and where is he now??

[Dizzy28]

So WI won their first 20/20 warm up match against an Emirates XI.
Pooran struck some form with an unbeaten 47 off 23 balls.
