    Semi Final 2 - West Indies v India (31st March)

    It's amazing WI is missing Darren Bravo, Pollard and Narrine yet they are so competitive. Disappointing Taylor hasn't played well recently but I remember him out bowling Steyn in a T20 vs SA awhile back. But I guess pace just won't work on these India grounds and it explains it exclusion of...

    9th Match - Sri Lanka v West Indies (20th March)

    People asking about why Badree is ranked high in the WI Vs ENG should see his performance in this match.

    3rd Match - England v West Indies (16th March)

    I think 230 would have been competitive on the pitch - not just for WI but for any team because of the boundaries being short and outline being fast - plus the dampness of the outfield. WI could have gotten 280 in 16 overs. 44 percent of WI innings was dot balls - they were never pressured...

    ***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

    Bairstow is special isn't he ? Just yesterday I was looking for his reaction to getting out by Mitchael Johnson but I can't find it lol

    ***Official*** West Indies in Australia 2015/16

    WI need Gayle and Bravo to lift the batting. The guys available can bowl better and I expect they will in the next game but I don't see the batting improving. KB and DB scored well and both are capable of doing so again but I am just tired of the rest. Ramdin, Samuels etc

    Phil Simmons no longer in charge of the West Indies

    It explains why these guys look elsewhere for security ...Can you imagine being a Bravo who can't make 200 etc and seeing someone doing so well then ignored for some BS reasons ? Many people like to think WI players play better in the IPL and they only play for money etc but it's common sense...

    Phil Simmons no longer in charge of the West Indies

    That avg is bad when you're batting in the top 5 or 6... But pollard comes in at 8-9 at times. He actually avg 40 against AUS with two centuries against them. When he comes in early enough to bat his avg is actually 35 - so when he comes in is very important to his avg. Again this is just...

    Phil Simmons no longer in charge of the West Indies

    This is why WI can't progress - poor management stuck in some bizarre mentality. Clive Lloyd didn't have much overhead when he was beating the world yet whenever he's in charge of WI he's like a dark cloud following the players. For the past 7 years anyone who watches WI will notice one or two...

    ***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

    Does anyone have a video of Anderson's wicket ? It was brilliant. WI showing lots of fight this series and without Gayle in the squad this is really encouraging. But without Taylor the attack is weakened severely. And his replacement is total ****.

    19th Match - South Africa v West Indies

    Why did they make Holder captain ? And say bravo etc aren't good enough. Total BS... I can bet my life Bravo was never going to give away 68 runs in two overs. Roach is on the bench looking at this.. This is just sad.

    19th Match - South Africa v West Indies

    He shouldn't even be in the team. He gave away 68 runs in his last two overs while taking off bowlers like Taylor and Gayle...

    Is Chris Gayle great ?

    Yes after Gayle I love to watch AB - but keep in mind Gayle avg over 40 in T20 and AB just avg 22, which means he is going to be the premier exponent of power hitting for awhile and bringing the game forward. Keep in mind when Gayle ventured out in the T20 format and took it serious many people...

    Is Chris Gayle great ?

    Thank you sir, WI cricket took a turn for the worse after that series because they took away his leadership role shortly after. WI cricket could have been much better but poor management is what really hold back our cricket. Prior to going to AUS WI had beaten ENg 1-0 over a 4 or 5 game series...

    Is Chris Gayle great ?

    Great point!! ...WI players play with their board playing on their minds than opponents. I remember Sammy became captain and there was an alternative team for a good while. Then sometimes they ban Gayle because of something he said and he had to take up T20 very seriously to secure his long term...

    Is Chris Gayle great ?

    Who would accuse gayle of being a great test player ? And his ODi record is right up there with the rest of them. He wasn't get much runs recently but he is certainly a great ODI player. I think the issue with some people was expressed in the article - that gayle is a transformation force in the...

    Is Chris Gayle great ?

    I think people should keep in mind this view is not radical as cricket fans support this view BBC Sport - Tendulkar, Gilchrist, Gayle & Wasim all in greatest ODI XI There is nobody in the international game who is as consistent as he in in terms of attacking and capable of attacking the way he...
