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

I was watching that big bash game yesterday...looked to be a nasty injury...hoping he recovers well

Given that he's getting along in age injuries will take longer to heal. However he has access to the best medical care so he should be ok.

I sure medics in India done pitch in already...IPL coming up

Well I din know the ole Walsh was bangladesh bowling coach...nice nice...interesting to see a bangladesh vs windies

[Dizzy28]

West Indies players don't realize how well they have it.
Today Kyle Abbot has retired from international cricket to join English county cricket as a Kolpak player.
He follows Rilee Roussouw, Stian Van Zyl (test century on debut), Hardus Viljoen (took Allistair Cook's wicket with his first ball in test cricket) and Simon Harmer.

Main reasons for South Africans utilizing Kolpak - Racial quotas (5 whites max on the team)
and weak currency (South Africans are paid in Rand) whereas WI contracts are in US$.

Such a shame...Abbot is a really good bowler!

[racedriverpro]

To me cricket gone to the dogs...

So amazing victory against England by india. This team chase 350 to win in 50 overs easterly wth ....

At age 28 the man has 29( I think) odi centuries...he has a good 12 years remaining...records are going to be broken very easily.

How I know Kohli is a boss....
My father turn the station when he was dismissed.
This is a man swear by Rohan Kanhai, saw Gavaskar, Sobers, Chappell and Miandad bat in real life and then got to see man like Tendulkar, Lara, Ponting et al.

And he watches cricket now just to see Kohli bat.

[*$kїđž!™]

Hats off to kohli boy ...the man just amazing

[Dizzy28]

So the 2 T20s against Pakistan that Trinidad would have gotten later on this year have now gone to Lauderhill.
Seems like another barren year for international cricket in T&T.

russel banned for a year....hmmmm

[Dizzy28]

russel banned for a year....hmmmm

This is pretty fair IMO.
The cricketers always say this is their livelihoods. It is his responsibility to ensure he complies with the regulations of his job. Just like operators have to ensure they wear their PPE.
Given that a Jamaican was just found to be doping albeit in 2008 couldn't have helped Russell's case as well.
