I realise haha, it's one of my favourites as well but I thought George Bailey the cricketer was taking the piss out of his name, like I thought he said what you quoted in the presentation haha.

And I'm pretty sure I've made a joke about Bailey and suicide before which you found delightful >_> does that 'ring a bell'? Heh
You have actually. The mind wanders, sadly. Had a medical thingy yesterday which left me a bit all over the shop.

Well made film, but I thought it was pretty overrated tbh. 'Scrooge' is a better story imo.
It's this kind of misguided opinion which leads to things like Kallis being rated so highly on this forum.

kallis 12000 runs and 270 wickets also play a part iirc
You could sleep through Kallis' career, and not be woken by the cheers from the crowd for any of his achievements.

Arguably the most non-descript player to have such high numbers.

In his current form, Watto's inclusion has weakened Oz's batting lineup as Wade was much better at the top of the order

Onto the business end.
Exactly. T20 is just taking the piss - I didn't watch a single ball of either game. Don't even think I saw one second of highlights.

Looking forward to the Test series.

WW, what's your likely Windies lineup?

Well the Gayle situation is still up in the air although he's very close to coming back but it's doubtful that this will be the series he returns, meanwhile Dwayne Bravo, Pollard, Narine, Samuels and Russell are IPL bound, with that in mind the team is likely to look like...

Brathwaite
Barath
Kirk Edwards
Darren Bravo
Chanderpaul
Deonarine
Ramdin (wk)
Sammy
Rampaul
Edwards/Roach
Bishoo

The Sammy situation still leaves me cold, i know he's captained the team well in these limited overs games but the fact is we need someone who can take wickets now, and he's not really done that in the series thus far 8-) , at the same time Fidel looked on fire yesterday while Roach is getting back to his best, Rampaul came back for Trinidad yesterday in a four day game and is a certain pick if he's fit because he's been our best pacer over the last twelve months, so it's gonna be a tough choice for the selectors,

Deonarine has been the best batsman in our current four day competition and is also taking wickets with his off-breaks, so he's seen as a natural replacement for Samuels, i'd even say he's much better with the bat right now to be honest, Brathwaite and Barath might not be the most experienced opening pair but they put up a 131 run opening partnerhship against india in our last Test so they've shown they can dig in, one dark horse might be a young pacer named Jason Holder who will be playing against Australia in the warm up match in a few days, if he does well he might find himself in the squad, many believe he could be the next Ambrose.
