Who allyuh like later...imo, it is possible that Guyana will win but Id prefer if Tridents win for the sake of Phil Simmons...WICB will get an eye opener

Simmons appointed as windies coach...vision in yuh mc

Now, he just has to change Pollard's attitude.

Simmo looking to win the cup next year again

[The Paleontologist]

Seeing news that ICC changed the rules regarding super overs.

Apparently in semis and finals, super overs will be played over and over until one team scores more than the other

No sunil narine...interesting

no carlos.......very good

Sunil making money all over the world. No Shannon Gabriel for the test squad.

Did you see Carlos' stink behaviour in the semi's?

[Dizzy28]

Sunil Narine is carrying the finger injury. He supposed to go see bout it now that CPL done.

To me the most interesting is Walsh as he already represented USA in an ODI and T20s. But I think once its an Associate you can switch to a test nation without going through the qualifying period (provided you are a dual citizen).

Simmo had real faith in him for CPL and he proved his worth...I now remember Narine's finger issue....again well done for leaving out Carlos...well done..I think its a good squad, notice how there is no Gayle, they looking for that opening pair

King and Lewis

[shake d livin wake d dead]

what about lendl?? no 3 for him or opening...looks like they playing Pooran as a specialist batsman while Ramdin will hold the gloves and hopefully play some good innings...On paper they have batting from 1-9

[De Dragon]

Cornwall could last an entire test match?

[Dizzy28]

Cornwall could last an entire test match?

He don't really need too.
WI accustom to losing in 3 to 4 days in Tests

[Dizzy28]

Sometimes I forget Ravi Rampaul still playing Cricket. He got drafted for the Hundred. I guess b/c he doesn't count as overseas anymore (Kolpak) helps him

Heard he was top wicket taker in some competition recently

[shake d livin wake d dead]

County cricket^

Another person they left out is Russell...but he injured, so they still need to make place for he and Narine...its a good team on paper

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Poor south africa....another innings defeat

[Dizzy28]

The Hundred draft is complete

A little bit surprising there is no Chris Gayle, (he is currently 40 and would be hitting 41 when the Hundred does roll around next year) so its not wholly unexpected. Pollard not being bought is a big shock though.
Other unbought players include DJ Bravo, Babar Azam, de Kock, Malinga and Rabada. Some of those players are also on the wrong side of 35 right now and some are currently the best in the world (Azam is 3rd in the ODI and 1st in the T2O global ranks)

The WI players there are -
Andre Russell - Southern Brave
Ravi Rampaul - Welsh Fire
Sunil Narine and Fabian Allen - Oval Invincibles

No players from India...oh well

[Dizzy28]

No players from India...oh well

Not surprising as they are banned from any other t20 leagues and not just from playing.

Look at how Karthik got into trouble for just being in the TKR'S dressing room earlier in the CPL season.

IPL is a brand that no1 must ever get to replicate or beat....BCCI have to much riding on that tournament....

Sri Lanka collapse against Australia in the T20.

Windies struggling in the chase of 195

[trinigamer]

^^They seem to be recovering 87/2 after 21 overs, but you never know with Windies

[fokhan_96]

Why is Evin lewis on the side ...

[matix]

Why is Evin lewis on the side ...

He’s a good player, just needs to find his form.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

116/2...Chase is proving himself worthy..only players missing imo is Russell and Narine
