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

[De Dragon]

weather not on wi side today. want to see a fight back from wi.

We could want what we want, but this side is utter failure!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

can they really bat for a draw?

Windies middle order showing some fight

[racedriverpro]

can they really bat for a draw?

Batting for a draw is negative thinking somewhat. They need to continue to show positive responsible intent to ensure that India think about their degree of attack.

To see India go on the defensive as West Indies go on a full blooded attack with the aim of putting 200+ runs on the board with at least 20 overs in the day is positive intent to me. Wishful to a greater extent, but positive nonetheless.

[racedriverpro]

Should send in Gabriel about now....

[X_Factor]

excellent batting up to that stupid lbw, clear inside edge
props to chase and is 100

i hope holder can hang around for the rest of the day

[X_Factor]

how come there are no reviews in this test series?

[trent]

how come there are no reviews in this test series?

BCCI doesn't use DRS

[racedriverpro]

India didn't want any I guess, several determining factors. After all this series was a last minute arrangement. Hearing about some last minute t20s now...

[racedriverpro]

New ball due what alyuh think?

[Dizzy28]

New ball due what alyuh think?

Until WI see/bat out with five overs and a lead 60-100 I still wouldn't rule out India's chances.
Roston Chase doing pretty good for someone I'm sure most of us never even heard about before this test series.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

What he said^ ....I'm sure ramdin can kiss his test future goodbye ...

[X_Factor]

yeah, thats pretty much it for ramdin, he knows it as well
draw game but seems like a win to the WI

[racedriverpro]

If WI played like this from day 1...who knows. Sometimes I wonder if these players understand the legacy of WI cricket.

Bravo...I dunno nah...like he stuck in standard 5. Ramdin...hasn't matured as an individual and failed to realize his potential.

Everybody feel that they are entitled to a place on the WI team without being in a position to contribute significantly.

[trent]

Windies really surprise me today...i wonder what brought about the change in attitude...
Really good to see the younger guys stepping up...Bravo and Samuels hav really disappoint in this series so far.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Who would win tonight? I like knight riders but zouks in good form eh

[X_Factor]

thats totally up in the air
we were lucky with akmal innings last time, i'd say possibly zouks have the edge going into the game
We too inconsistent this tourny

This! should be good tho.

[Dizzy28]

WI lucky an entire day's worth of play was lost. Had it been 5 days I don't think they would have drawn.

[trent]

Nah y u hada b so negative...Chase would've scored a big double hundred an Holder would've scored a ton also...
Shai Hope replaces Chandrika for next Test

[Trinispougla]

chase? CHASE? India only get caught by surprised because he now come. By next year he'll be Rolling off into the sunset a la kirk edwards. He play's so far from his body, habitual fisherman. One encounter with starc or trent boult and he's done

[Trinispougla]

Nah y u hada b so negative...Chase would've scored a big double hundred an Holder would've scored a ton also...
Shai Hope replaces Chandrika for next Test

Holder not supposed to score hundreds, he's supposed to be taking wickets. Tubby Rakheem Cornwall bowlin faster than holder

[Dizzy28]

Nah y u hada b so negative...Chase would've scored a big double hundred an Holder would've scored a ton also...
Shai Hope replaces Chandrika for next Test

The rain not only took away time, it took away the momentum India had when they got 4 wickets for 48 runs on day 4. WI were allowed overnight to recollect themselves.

[trent]

Well they hav more time now to recollect themselves and continue to put up a fight against the Indians.

[racedriverpro]

Boi trent....rel fight down thing in here. Men sitting on the wall afraid to wish, hope and see the best in WI cricket. Kirk Edwards? how much duck he made before making a half century? Anyways looking forward to the next test. Shai Hope is a waste tho...

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I see he in the squad for the third test^...

[X_Factor]

Real poor turn out for the games in st kitts yes
more empty seats than ppl

[pugboy]

better them get ketch shelling out a pile of money "to host finals"
than us
sports leagues adminstrators are in the business of making money
they does really ketch govt for stupid sometimes

[shake d livin wake d dead]

How bravo look like he was going n lik down cariah....lol

[X_Factor]

yeah, i swore he was gonna get ah hard clout or something

decent game considering what went on in the field and beaton really mature as the season went on
man was spot on with yorkers

tmr's game, whats the best bowling for gayle n them ?
beaton, bravo, narine, cooper ?,?
devcich has proven quite useful in the bowling, but that depends on if mccullum is fit or not
