[shake d livin wake d dead]

This was the best innings I've seen from pollard. I still have doubts about this team..we go see how it go.

[racedriverpro]

Hoping to hope is what makes us West Indian.

[Mercenary]

damion jacobs and evin lewis should be playing. wtf charles.....vooper

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Australia vs Windies...I say the Aussies

[shake d livin wake d dead]

[The Paleontologist]

WI never fail to disappoint

[Mercenary]

[Premchand1976]

Australia vs Windies...I say the Aussies

I say so too........hehehehehe yea rite

[Mercenary]

guyana betis cud get it tho....some very nice mature ones.

Tommorow's match would be interesting now that SA has 1 loss and the Aussies 1 win.

I fear that the racial politics in SA has or will affect the team. The Government mandate is that the cricket team should only have four whites and they are trying to meet those quotas with the inclusion of Rabada and Phanigiso continuously whilst Duminy also counts as non white. It helps that Tahir, Amla and Shamsi in there to balance the non white side of things.

No Du Plessis in the first match and Richard Levi, Colin Ingram, Van Der Merwe (I assume David Miller is injured) somewhere in England playing cricket. SA could very well end up like the WI. Quotas is what led to South Africa losing Kevin Pietersen to England and they losing a next crop of talent through politics.

yeah bai. duminy- wat a useless player. Behardien also useless. They a quota system is trouble.

West Indies tuntuns cudnt stay and graft for runs yesterday? 50 overs to bat.

[Dizzy28]

Richard Levi's last 3 T20 innings for Northamptonshire is 44,58 and 61 - can't make the South African side.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Not just cricket though..the quota covers Rugby, netball and athletics.

The Rugby and Cricket boards have been banned from hosting any international tournaments

good but not great.


saw a comparison between tests played...england play the most ever in a year than all other nations.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

True^...They have a long line of test series this year....

Backing aussies today doh.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

this is a very interesting tri-nation...there is no one team in total control

[killercow]

Anyone know how many runs / overs SA need to win by to get a bonus point?

[The Paleontologist]

Not sure if Australia or WI batting

[meccalli]

haha, i thoroughly enjoyed this match, lots of wickets.
Some piss poor umpiring as well.

[Dizzy28]

Lets hope the runs pickup in St Kitts.
It is the smallest playing surface in world cricket (don't think any new ground has been opened that is smaller) and St Kitts usually has a decent pitch.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

what will the windies do today?

[X_Factor]

^ knowing that harder than trying to predict what numbers will come for the lotto

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Lol^...its s good batting wicket but can windies really bat that well? Make 300 plus?

[Dizzy28]

The level of umpiring (particularly by the West Indian) in this series so far has been atrocious.
If we can't fill an 8,000 seat stadium to get some atmosphere the least we can have is decent umpiring.

[racedriverpro]

Backing Joel Wilson to bring it home for the guys.
