****the official CRICKET thread*****

[Dizzy28]

I now realize Simmons batting with one pad on!!! I thought there was a minimum requirement r.e. safety and two pads was part that.

That Guyanese wicket is the worse thing I've seen in a while...10 overs bowled and only two boundaries scored..

If this is true....ttkr don't need a keeper.....they need bowlers

Ramdin is much better than Akmal...Akmal's mis-stumping of Gayle early in the game cost us the match against Tallawahs.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Tkr looking much more composed tonight

[shake d livin wake d dead]

decent victory by TKR...interesting changes too

[Dizzy28]

Amla boy......the man is a batsman (as opposed to a vupper r.e. Dwayne Smith, Pollard etc.)
Would be interesting to see what a batsman like Kohli would do in the CPL or BBL (or Ram Slam). Damn you BCCI.

[racedriverpro]

Who outside of ipl could pay for Kohli? Good victory lastnight...thought we were gonna win by DL.

WI test squad to face India -
Jason Holder (capt), Kraigg Brathwaite (vice-capt), Devendra Bishoo, Jermaine Blackwood, Carlos Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Rajendra Chandrika, Roston Chase, Shane Dowrich (wk), Shannon Gabriel, Leon Johnson, Marlon Samuels

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Watched that squad and I see 4-0 in favor of India....the possibility of 2-1 defeats are there as well..

[Dizzy28]

Shannon Gabriel is the only specialist fast bowler in the squad.
The one type of bowling the Indians are very susceptible against

[racedriverpro]

^^ true. JT done with them yes...he was certainly worth a try.

[Dizzy28]

Taylor hoping to ride the T20 gravy train off into the sunset.
Nothing wrong there. Man have to fund his retirement.

[hondamadness]

is this the WI method of repayment to india for abandoning their last tour, free ranking points? i can't think of any other reasoning behind that test team that was announced.......God help us!!

[hondamadness]

question......will india gain any ranking points by beating the west indies in a test series?

[Dizzy28]

question......will india gain any ranking points by beating the west indies in a test series?

India will not move up in the test rankings if they win the series
However if they draw or lose the series they will move down with the possibility of being as low as 5th.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

India batsmen and maybe bowlers could create some records though

[racedriverpro]

Let's hope for the best.

[X_Factor]

doh be too surprised if india lost or draw either of the first three tests....most likely the second or third
odds will be heavily in WI, men hadda make some money

That's failure boy.....who is Leon Johnson?....they brought back chandrika?
Who is chase...and well Marlon Samuels..Looking like the star in that squad...
Failure dread

[racedriverpro]

I think somebody put a cricket curse on me. Can't help it but want to see the Caribbean boys do well. Hopefully they ease meh up this series.

[Lance]

Good thing Sammy playing for his home country franchise yes. Anybody else will be launching big stone behind him by now.

[racedriverpro]

Ammmm so they loss lastnight?

[Lance]

Ammmm so they loss lastnight?

Yeah they did lol.

Scored 11 and dropped 2 regulation catches.

[racedriverpro]

Saw the drop catches....glad I didn't waste time watching the second innings.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

No wonder they at the bottom of the points table
