    i'm really surprised that lara isn't there more often.

    **Official** England in The West Indies

    First of all, LAra was not dismissed on 0. The call by Hair was right on spot as confirmed by replays and a new software program introduced by Sky Sports called 'Ultra Motion' He gave a run out chance on 150 odd and the 293 was a catch through Batty's hand. There was also one on 350 odd, but...

    **Official** Bangladesh in West Indies

    i could understand that, but don't you think it would be good also for baugh (or another keeper)to get a game in England too? What i think WI needs to do is to change Jacobs from both forms and retain him for jsut the tests and introduce someone new at ODI level, who would then be brought in...

    **Official** England in The West Indies

    so his idea of deserving innings is flawless innings? IE; Lara's 501* would have been 11, his 400* would be 293, Thorpe's 120 odd that won the test would be 76 etc etc??

    lara vs tendulkar

    I am all in support of Lara, but i have to disagree with you there. Lara has 7 200s: 400*-Match Drawn 375-Match Drawn 277-Match Drawn 221-WI Lost 213-WI win 209-Match Drawn 202-WI lost Pnly one of Lara's 200s has ended in a WI win, while his 2 in losses is a World Record. No one else has ever...

    Wisden's Cricketers of the Century

    As for Lara's average being below 50, well his last test of 1999 came against NZ, his 65th. up to theat point, he would have played 65 matches, 112 innings, 4NO, 5573 runs, HS of 375, 13 100s, 29 50s, AVERAGE:51.60, more than viv's overall average of 50.23. Note also that in those 65 matches, HE...

    Wisden's Cricketers of the Century

    oh please, give me a break. Then how come Viv Richards got in? He only has 3 Double centuries, the same numbet that Lara would have. Lara: 375, 277 and 213 (Eng, Aus, Aus) Viv: 291, 232 and 208. (Eng, Eng, Aus) Lara played under much more pressure than Viv;remember,Viv NEVER played in a...

    Sri Lanka's 398/4 vs Kenya in 50 overs. That's 7.96 per over!

    World Cup 2007

    I think that ASIA by far has too much say at the ICC. from dalmyria to mani. they have totally mismanaged the ICC.

    lara vs tendulkar

    well that's a unique way of putting it. I still think though, that Lara, because of the pressures that he has faced is better than tendulkar. Look at the man's record as captain!

    One has to remember that Lara is and for the next 3 years will be the WI team.

    Wisden's Cricketers of the Century

    well that's the point. WISDEN picked the 5 cricketers of the 20th Century. 1900-2000. HENCE, one has to include 277,375,213,153* and 501*. How can you even think of selecting a player for the 21st century and it's not even 5% done yet?

    i think they need to play the keepers in the FC matches. But i think that Jacobs still has more to offer WI cricket.

    Wisden's Cricketers of the Century

    actually only the 400* is post 2000. 501* and 375 is 1994 277 is 1993 and 153* and 213 are both 1999.

    Wisden's Cricketers of the Century

    ''If I was picking my five cricketers of the century, I would of picked someone who firstly succeeded internationally & his FC record is much better than his Test record.'' It would seem to me that you should want to choose someone who did much better internationally as opposed to FC cricket...

    what do you think of the stadium proposed for Union Park in T&T? And from reports today, T&T was preparing to submit a TT$1 billion (US$167 million) for the WC matches. why so much? surely they could have bid less and still won. US$167 million is the size of some othe the other island's...
