    **Official** Asia Cup 2004 Thread

    look i can agree to disagree and i agree that Lara was responsible for us not winning that Test but it wasn't for the 400*, it was for dropping Flintoff at the end of the day's play when he was on 20 odd i believe. He went on to score an unbeaten 100 and pullend england out from 98/5.

    **Official** West Indies in England Thread

    That's exactly who we're complaining against.Funny eh, the next general election is in 2007 and considering that elections in T&T are very close, (and considering that the present bunch are really not making much of a positive impact) i won't be surprised to see them go in '07.

    **Official** Asia Cup 2004 Thread

    Lara played 1 or 2 tests with Haynes. Hooper is the epitome of WI underachievement. Chanderpaul only came on the scene in 1994 and he is the only one to whom Lara could turn for support. Walsh and Ambrose yes, extremely good even great bowlers, but we had no 1st change bowlers at all. I see you...

    **Official** West Indies in England Thread

    T&T allegedly (using the words of our idiot Sports Minister) used the Yellow package as a 'guide' with a caveat stating that we would take a back seat to any country also willing. Jamaica and Barbados automatically qualified for the Yellow since they both bid for the Black. According to the ICC...

    sachin wins matches because he plays with a better team. Look at what Lara had to do in '99 to win 2 matches for WI. 213 and 153*. Look at the '01 Sri Lankan Series: 178,40,43,70,221,130. 688 rns @ 114.67 and WI lost 3-0. Lara wasn't even captain. How could you blame him for playing on a lame...

    hold on hold on.....that's EXACTLY what i meant. I didn't mean that the WICB was at fault. You should be in T&T. PM Manning and his cohorts are taking such a licking it's not funny.you know that the entire thing had to be underwritten by the respective gov'ts and T&T's gov't quite simply played...

    **Official** Asia Cup 2004 Thread

    you really should say why. 501*,400*,375 and 153* would take some beating! (and that's just scratching the surface) As for Hayden, 5000 runs in 50 Tests at over 58 including 20 centuries. And Dravid? Well he's certainly a lot more consistent. I'll give sachin his 33 Test tons and his average of...

    New ICC Test Rankings

    But quite possible. I don't think England would get the better of the WI by such a large margin, at least not as easily as in the Caribbean and the SLv SA tour should turn out to be pretty competitive.

    Craig, that's stating the obvious.WI cricket is embroiled in too much politics, the latest result of which saw Trinidad being awarded the worst package of WC 2007. Even St. Kitts and St. Lucia were given much better packages, the former yet to host an international (ODI or Test) match. This...

    delkap, please don't flatter yourself. If anything,at best, Tendulkar is as good as Lara. At worst he's behind Lara and Dravid;even Hayden maybe.

    sehwag going for 200

    he's gone for 16 vs Bangladesh (off 8 balls). I think he needs to settle a little.

    Waht will happen if WI win the series? I don't expect them to move in terms of place considering the gap but what about the points?

    Either that or he has a time machine. :):):)

    VVS Laxman...is he really that good?

    but surely it won't hurt his team if he can manage to get a couple 40s or 50s. In ODI cricket, the benchmark average for greatness is usually 40+.

    Sachin Tendulker is a big choker!.

    So he's come to the conculsion that Tendulkar is a choker since he didn't score runs against the UAE?? Friend, if your major player fails against a minnow and your team cannot pick up after you, you don't deserve to be playing cricket. 13 000 ODI runs and 9 500 Test runs as well as a few wickets...
