    West Indies Domestic Cricket 2014/15

    At the Trinidad- Jamaica game today and it has been tough conditions. Only 25 overs or so played. It is not fair to judge a player on one viewing only but watching Rayad Emrit bowl makes me want to do some sit ups and drop a few pounds. I am a realist and a decent judge of talent but if he is...

    Exactly. There are good wrestlers in Shimmer - many of whom are more advanced than those on WWE Divas roster - but who is buying Shimmer PPVs?

    Scared of ball

    This probably seemed silly to some when I wrote it. In light of recent events it isnt the best advice I have ever offered. In the space of a few days it seems dated and, very possibly, wrong.

    I wanna be a test offspiner

    Based on the only Test off spinner I knew quite well and grew up playing with, the two things you need - regardless of effectiveness - is a nice classical action which makes the old-timers coo and the ability to bowl long spells.

    Not doing his missus any favours is he?

    Vale Phillip Hughes

    I am not saying people should agree with me and I would never want to get in the way of tributes and people expressing their feelings at a difficult time but it doesn't feel like a great time to be discussing this game which we all love. It feels appropriate to me if the forum closed for 24...

    Vale Phillip Hughes

    Devastated by this. It is always a tragedy when a young person dies but this is clearly very close to home as we are all part of the world cricket community and he was sadly injured, and died as a result, doing something we all relate to and what should be a fun past time. I'm not sure it will...

    Phillip Hughes CW support banner at Melbourne and Sydney Test match

    Horrible, horrible news. It puts the game in a very different perspective.

    Change your avatar to Phil Hughes to show CW's support

    I am late seeing this. Horrible news. A feel for the bowler as well. No one wants to do this to another human being.

    Echoed. It sounds like a difficult time you have had to deal with.

    Give the game back to Channel 4

    There should be no giving the game to anyone. If they want it then they can pay for it. Im all for cricket being on FTA but they have to make an effort as well. The main network broadcasters are not willing to really be competitive despite making certain noises. The BBC being the worst having...

    West Indies Domestic Cricket 2014/15

    I went to the T&T vs Barbados game last Saturday. It was interesting. Looked a decent standard. Roach is tiny but quick, Jason Holder is tall but nothing quicker than medium. Queen's Park Oval track has no pace or carry - though that has always been the case. No crowd but then where does get...

    West Indies Domestic Cricket 2014/15

    Wow, I was drinking at the Oval last night and lost of people walking around outside in red T&T shirts and blue Barbados shirts. I wondered why and this is the answer. There has been no promotion for this. I live near Queens Park Oval and love cricket and I had no idea this was happening. I may...

    Glenn Maxwell- What are CWs thoughts on this article?

    Fair based on use of batter instead of batsman.

    Disparity between Pakistani and Indian great pace bowlers.

    I was sitting with a former Test seamer a couple of weeks ago and we were talking about how to bowl on different tracks. His point, which he backed up very well, was that express pace is needed on flat decks and less important of more helpful or fast decks. The bowler has to put in what the...

    Boxing thread

    A tough fight to watch. Kovalev just kept his range and picked his shots. He knew he was bigger, quicker and stronger and that he could easily win if he didnt do anything silly. He just bullied Hopkins who did a great job of slipping and boxing defensively. Hopkins couldnt win that fight unless...

    Rugby League - International

    OK, big game. A lot has rightly been made about Joel Tomkins strangely keeping his place in the XIII but England need a better game from Tom Burgess as he looked like he was running in treacle against Aus. Of course I want England to win but it is a 'win and be damned' situation as a victory...

    Article Suggestion

    Bleacher Report is normally **** but this is one of the better things I have read there. Dreams to Dust: Life After Football for the Future Stars Who Never Quite Made It | Bleacher Report Could CW do a cricket one? If so, I would love to read. Anyone know where Giles Haywood is?

    *Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

    I think you are underplaying it. He doesnt look anything like a slob and he is incredibly athletic. He looks like a video game character with 'thickness' in CAC turned to 100%. He has a ridiculous look with being as wide as he is tall and thighs the size of a large man's waist. You make it sound...
