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

[trent]

This is apparently the best team available given the WICB outdated selection policy, all our stars are out there playin for the big leagues.
These current guys are only in the WI team because no big franchise wants them...at least not yet...

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I wish all other international teams boycott tours to the windies unless the "real" players available

[toyolink]

Just not seeing any grit, determination or self belief.
A little cockiness............anything!
The only people strutting around as if they on top of the world seem to be the big boys in the WICB.

[Premchand1976]

Tridents ftw

[The Paleontologist]

I think knightriders have one of the better sides in the tournament

[racedriverpro]

Money not bad for the big players.

[uncle sam]

nice mix of players...

[meccalli]

Interesting, liking simmons and sanga as a possible opening pair for tallawahs.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

on paper, Tridents ftw...Trinidad need bowlers

Must b some sort of record, father and son playing for the same team and both making fifties!

[Dizzy28]

Chanders must have really wanted to play an international match with his son.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I coda swear the man could have still been selected...sigh

On another note I see narine, pollard and simmons in the t20 squad

[shake d livin wake d dead]

India seeing some stress on the first day

[Dizzy28]

Saw Trini Posse advertising tickets for the 3 T20s against Pakistan later this month at the QPR.
The games all start at 12.30pm.

Dunno if i feel it going to a T20 so early in the day (the Thursday match falls on the public holiday so it eliminates the work problem.)

[Mercenary]

Goin to see women in oval dan. Cricket on that lame ass pitch? Low scores and spin

[shake d livin wake d dead]

How much for tickets

[Dizzy28]

How much for tickets

Trini Posse's are $450 lower deck, $400 upper on all days.
Dunno how much for the regular oval ones.

[dude2014]

Best of luck on seeing the team giving Pakistan batting practise. Probably will go to check out the girls. The heart need some exercise, and so does de eyes ..............
