    *Official* West Indies in South Africa 2022/23

    Waste Indies as usual persisting with trash like O. Smith, R. Shepherd. No surprises there. When will they realize that Jason Holder is not a ODI bowler? ( That was a rhetorical question..the answer is NEVER):D S. Hope will continue to remain a mystery for me. Such class and grace in ODIs and...

    *Official* Zimbabwe vs Ireland at Harare : Jan 12-23, 2023

    The coverage of this series and any other "minnow" series by big money-minting websites such as CI borders on criminal offense. No feature stories, no investigative pieces and yet everybody offers platitudes about development of cricket. CI over the years just resembles a PR mouthpiece for...

    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    Disjointed thoughts - So is SAF batting worse than WI batting? That would be a new low for SAF cricket if true! Strange that D Elgar has a better avg than K Braithwaite.

    *Official* Australia vs West Indies - Frank Worrell Trophy 2022

    And the massacre series is over with a truly spectacular massacre... :laugh: WI still reaping the fruits of 25+ years of corrupt and directionless management at the grassroots. Congrats to the Aussies for yet another clinical win. Their depth of batting and bowling stocks is really inspiring...

    Jermaine Blackwood on the eve of his 50th test match - “I made a debut a few years back and as I reflect from then to now I would say I have improved a lot over the past few years. I got dropped a few years ago and then came back into the team in 2020 and since I came back you can see that...

    *Official* Australia vs West Indies - Frank Worrell Trophy 2022

    Go Marnus, Go! You can reach 401* Go Head Go! You can reach 401* On another note, I wonder how badly would the trio of R Ngarava, Chatara & Muzarabani fared against this Aussie batting lineup? We will never know but if WI can get a chance to play test matches against top opposition, countries...

    Captain Kraigg now brings Chase and Holder together at time when a wicket has just fallen and any other team on earth would have been using their best bowlers to push for another. No Phillip, No Joseph. :-O:crazy::crazy::shocking::shocking:

    Kraigg the poor captain on song here. Meanwhile, Alzarri continues to be the "potentially devastating" bowler and the cricketing version of "Waiting for Godot".

    @Beamer - How is this Mindley kid? Would you have any idea? His FC stats seem decent but numbers reveal only so much. CI says he is "fast-medium". Any genuine fast bowlers worth noting in the Caribbean now?

    *Official* Australia vs West Indies - Frank Worrell Trophy 2022

    Absolutely, I feel the same. Two things I feel have added to the decline is the changing nature of pitches ( having become more batsmen-friendly or maybe they are prepared that way) and another is the increasing commercialization of the game. T20 can't be considered real cricket IMHO but then I...

    Hey @Slifer, Thank you for your comment. I just wrote my post as my point of view. Didn't really intend to start a debate there. And, I agree with you about the fact that nobody expected the WI to roll Australia over. You, perhaps, choose to look at the positives and I am simply looking at...

    *Official* Australia vs West Indies - Frank Worrell Trophy 2022

    Match 1 of massacre series done. WI put out of their misery. Takeaways ( have been same for last 7-8 years or so) - WI have no real batsmen after batters 1 & 2 (except for performers on dodo pitches). On a pitch which really needs you to rely on your skills and offers little assistance, the...

    Congrats to WI for pushing the 1st test in many ages into the 5th day. All thanks to Captain KB and a great find in young Chanderpaul. Time for Mayers to come good on his talk after Bangladesh where he said he wanted to be known as a test batsman.
