lol^

nice victory by the Aussies

Watson calls it quits on test cricket

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Stokes dismissal was rather funny...first time I've seen it doh

[speedmelter]

yea they may have to look into that law as these days bowlers take dangerous shy at the stumps which naturally have the batsmen taking evasive action, so eventually bowlers may start aiming at the batsmen instead of the stumps to effect the obstruction method of dismissal.

meanwhile W.I. cricket continues to decline with their poor management. Expect a run of extremely poor performances with a completely inexperienced test team and an eventual decline to the bottom of the bottom.

In limited overs there is hope as we have a side with alot of power over prowess/ thinking.

The only thing which i can compliment the board on is the fact that they have finally given up with the old and have tried something different the least. It will not yield immediate results but at least its a try.

Its time to rid the side of the lazy players. Gayle, bravo, simmons and the others who choose not to play all formats for personal reasons. Pay the test team way much better than the T20 side and some sort of respect to the game would return. Place strict limits on the active cricketers participation in the IPL and Big bash like most other countries do. W.I "stars" treat test cricket as if its regional practise because they are lazy and lack the mental capacity to keep up with the standard of the rest of the world. They prefer to give it a swing in the shorter forms.

Isn't WI there already?? Bangladesh has overtaken us on the ODI ranking and I am sure they will soon take us over on the Test one.

Zimbabwe really shouldn't have any Test status given their lack of a credible Board however India consistently votes for them at the ICC.

[speedmelter]

yea we are there already, thats why i later said that im happy the board is at least trying something different.. for once

[shake d livin wake d dead]

3rd ODI between Aus and Eng to start soon

supporting the Aussies

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Brad Haddin gone too

[Dizzy28]

In the space of 1 month Australia has lost Shane Watson, Brad Haddin, Michael Clarke and Chris Rogers.
This definitely has to be a hard blow for a side already in transition. There is already talk that their Sheffield Shield is losing status and quality (although I think all the other countries except England would gladly have the SS as their first class competition) however I do believe they will be able to pull some talented players out from somewhere soon.

who showing the west indies vs sri lanka games?

[Dizzy28]

who showing the west indies vs sri lanka games?

Probably Sportsmax or Ten Cricket. But I did see ESPN advertising the South Africa India series. Hopefully Flow don't block it.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

day one..........man already make ah hunjed yes......pressure for windies

[Dizzy28]

WI have previously struggled batting 2nd and then 4th in Tests. In the subcontinent they become even less adept as a second innings team. With the Lankans well placed at the end of day 1 with only 2 wickets down I would not be surprised if WI lose by an innings.

[Country_Bookie]

Ten Cricket showing the test series. Never really looked at that channel. How much does it cost to subscribe?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

is either $30 something or $70 something^

decent station.........shows a lot of old games which created history
