Nah nah growing up I didn't have any dreams at all to be a doctor or lawyer or fireman or them kinda thing, all I know was I like cricket. When I was younger I played for club and zonal with the best that my parents could afford.
Kinda gave up on the sport in the earlies because of certain things I saw happening that dissuaded me and plus the need for an income.
So big circle come back around, I have a family of my own now, have a decent job and still thinking about it,
So this time I giving myself a real chance
Thatsall

all of a sudden Australia just struggling

[Dizzy28]

WI U19s under tremendous criticism for their defeat of Zimbabwe by 2 runs where the Zimbabwean last wicket was taken via "Mankading" (tis a cricket thread so will assume you all know what that is)
It was also noteworthy I find that the countries doing most of the criticizing were the "white" countries whilst the little support the WI U19's got was from the non white countries.

I agree with Ashwin who came came out in support of the young Windies. He said as a bowlers he is not allowed to step over the front line why should batsmen be allowed yards of leeway in taking a run.
Bishop also had a valid point - if it is frowned upon/considered wrong why is it legally allowed under the MCC rules.

[The Paleontologist]

Though unsportsmanlike it is still legal.
Why don't batsmen get criticized when they edge a ball and umpire gives not out but they don't walk.

[Dizzy28]

Owners of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) have asked Government to pay US$4.5 million for T&T to host the semifinals and final of the event here from August 3-6. However, sources say that while Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley is convinced that staging the three main matches here will generate substantial benefits for the country, he is not willing to pay that price and is insisting on re-negotiations to bring the cost in line with what the country can afford.

Last year, the PP government spent US$3.5 million and there was massive interest and sold out crowds for the final which was won by the local Red Steel, which beat Barbados Tridents in the final at the Queen’s Park Oval. T&T is facing competition from the governments of Barbados and Guyana, as they have both made presentations to CPL owners, but negotiations are still ongoing with the three countries.......http://www.guardian.co.tt/news/2016-02- ... -cpl-final

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I hope the finals are in Trinidad....last year was good

[PapaC]

Most people go for the lime, but the recently concluded NAGICO had a lot of space in the stands.
I really hope we get as much CPL games as possible. We could generate a lot of revenue

[shake d livin wake d dead]

that NAGICO tournament was real boring....men aint really going to watch no 50 overs game unless is big intl teams....t20 on the hand is different

Once again it seems to be the preserve of Australia,NZ England etc to engage in these practices without nary a comment, but when the little black boy do it, there is uproar. Stephen Fleming farse and damn outta place!

[uncle sam]

^ exactly!

Bishop is a boss.. He is one of the best cricket commentators I would say. He doesn't stand for BS at all!

Rules are Rules Big up Ashwin too.. even though he does pelt.

[X_Factor]

^ ashwin did it a couple times before..lol


in other news...glad to see nz blaze Australia arse

Except when it comes to potentially offending India/BCCI. That is one area he steers clear with a 10 foot pole.

From the looks of the play in the over before the mankad, I think someone spotted that the batsman was wandering out of his crease during the bowler's run up. They had a short discussion, quite possibly to point out that fact, and decided to have the bowler do a mankad...just in case the batsman was wandering out of his crease. Which he did.

Doesn't matter if it's by 1mm or half the pitch. Bet your bottom Zimbabwean dollar that the boy never makes that mistake again!

[Dizzy28]

Was looking at Win Sports some night and saw a windball cricket match going on and one of the teams had Emrit, Narine and Cooper on it.......them fellas like advantage oui!!

[shake d livin wake d dead]

And we wonder how narine does be pelting^

[SPK1983]

^ It was from windball cricket that the man learned how to do his 'knuckle ball'. He said that in an interview pretty early on.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

India tipped to win world cup.....your views......well that according to Lara

[uncle sam]

WI side is very strong.. they have a very good chance. SA, India in that order

Now Darren Lehmann and Eoin Morgan jump in to condemn. Racist sledging is alright as its also not illegal, but mankading isn't?
Fack Lehmann and Morgan!

Carlos Brathwaite really worth that much?

[killercow]

Carlos Brathwaite really worth that much?

Imagine he was bought for more than what Dwayne Bravo was 'retained' for.
Meanwhile ppl like Darren Sammy and Martin Guptil remain unsold

[uncle sam]

guptil tho.. how???? Carlos aint worth sheit... would luv for him to prove me wrong tho!
