Pretty easy catch to be honest. No slip should ever drop that.
No, I wouldn't expect a decent slipper to drop it either but it still took some catching.

Franklin is a swing bowler at test level, but when he has tried to do it in ODIs in the past, he has been pumped 99% of the time. As an ODI bowler, he's far more effective coming on as a change bowler and to bowl cutters and anglers. I just hope it doesn't have a negative effect on his test bowling, which it just might..
That is one negative that could come from Franklin playing ODI's, in an ideal lineup for me he wouldn't actually be in the side. As a test bowler I think he is our best prospect at the moment, other than Bond when he is fit.

Gayle starting to find the middle of the bat now, Fleming puts a man out sweeping on the legside which is a good move really. Mason hasn't really looked threatening but he had been keeping it very tight.

The ticket prices are very high and thats the prime reason the ground is as good as empty.


ICC should open its eyes and understand that there is more to life than just making money.

The whole YouTube thing really annoyed me too. They are so stupid sometimes.

Gayle v Franklin could be a very good watch.

Good to see Nicholas having a go at the organising. Don't think any other commentators have. Also, this might be a conspiracy theory, but I'm pretty sure the cameramen are on orders to avoid showing the empty seats.

What the commentators just said is true... They can easily just lower the price now and "save" the rest of the tournament.

Cricinfo quoting someone who's completely wrong, brilliant stuff.
Saw your comment about the Aus WI commentary, went back and read it. Shocking stuff. I don't mind adding abit of humour to it, but they just aren't funny. Jenny Thompson iirc and that other bloke, so dire.
