***Official*** South Africa v West Indies

[Mister Wright]

If you're referring to his attitude in the 90s, you're very much behind the times. Brian Lara is clearly an entirely different player and person since then. He's much more focussed on cricket and I don't see him having any hard feelings aside from the natural resentment for Digicel. I mean, anyone would have such feelings if he/she lost the captaincy in such a manner.

What about when he undermined Hooper before the Australian series in 2003?

In what way? He replaced Hooper yes, but Hooper was not likely to survive after the World Cup Lara or not.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Ryan Hinds to miss 2nd Test

Daren Ganga called up.
Calm down folks... they called up Donovan Pagon.

 

[roseboy64]

I'd rather they called up Deonarine. He offers a bowling option.

 

[roseboy64]

I don't think Lara can afford to cause any problems. He's getting up there in years and so he needs as much games as possible. He now needs to just focus on batting and helping out Chanderpaul in times of need.

 

[roseboy64]

If Baugh focuses he can be lethal with the bat. He had some good partnerships with David Bernard Jr. this season.

 

[aussie]

To be fair to him, Baugh did improve a lot on the West Indies tour of England. He's still hovering around Geraint Jones' level though.

hold up liam, now whats that suppose to mean, Baugh is still hovering around the Geraint Jones level, i tend to disagree. Talikg about west indies keepers if i agree that dropping browne now wouldn't be the smartest decision because sicne the younger one's aren't ready yet to step up but it will be interesting to see who will be be your keeper when you go down under this season, be wary of a mauling mate

 

[shaka]

SA's bowling wont be as good as if Pollock was available, so more of the same could be in store in terms of bowling for SA.

 

[honestbharani]

Lara is good mates with Shiv. So, it will be fine for the Windies. I expect to see a better SA fight this time. And why in God's name is Steyn not even in the squad. I thought he was very impressive against England.

Typical Aussie.

Please elaborate on the Baugh suggestion.

Gayle and Sarwan are back. No need for Deonarine.

 

[roseboy64]

I guess.

 

[Nate]

I guess.

I know!

Mind, Gayle`s bowling hasn`t been spectacular of late...

 

[Don]

LIAM DONT MAKE THOSE KINDA JOKES WEN A DAREN GANGA FAN IS AROUND

i say chanders should bowl himself lara and sarwan be4 gayle.it would be fun to see lara and his left arm and chander from the other end

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Granted he was bowling with an injured right shoulder! Kinda harsh, no?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I disagree. You see, I just don't find losing a Test match all that much fun.

 

[Don]

we wont lose chanders and lara would open with the new ball and in about 14 over the SA innings is closed

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Then Gayle is sidelined for the rest of the series (after his 100 off 18 balls) as he is hit by the flying pig.

 

[Nate]

Aha, that`s why I used the word 'spectacular' instead of 'good'.
