A two-week training camp with the Super Kings academy saw the batters play a variety of spin bowlers, practice on red and black-soil pitches, and also play few games against top locals

We’ll attribute the impending wins to the ‘Alexandria’ of cricket.

Back when Sarwan first debuted in our team, he became the most stylish batsman that’s played for us in this millennium, eclipsing Lara in the process.

I used to mimic his batting stance and style…when he was set, he was flawless. Those damn cover-drives

Our Test cricketer of the year is definitely Jayden Seales

Sir Andy lamented the fact that despite being rooted to the bottom of the Test rankings for decades, West Indies cricket was still being run the same way.

“If you check West Indies cricket, during the years that we have been in the doldrums and today we’re still in the doldrums, but our methods stay the same as it was 15, 20 years ago and it is not a method that is associated with West Indies’ greatness,” Sir Andy maintained.

“We are living in the past as far as Australia, England, India and all of them. They are teaching us how to play cricket now and we were the ones that they were following. Now we’re the followers.”

Calling it out well enough, but sometimes we need to be honest with ourselves and accept that support for our team through those year have waned because we are not producing the right cricketers in the format that matters the most (to development of the fundamentals.)

Tbh I'm tired of Sir Andy, he is of course a legend, but he doesn't offer any solutions at all, he just complains about everything and then wonders why the current generation don't approach him more.

Yeah, the disconnect between some of the past legends to the current system of how cricket is run leaves a lot to be desired. We need help and outside entitities are willing to help (The Chennai cricket academy, for instance)

I was reading a book last night where this guy’s name came up.

He was born on this day in 1917





Seems like he was dangerous bowler in FC cricket

Why am I writing about the fifth most famous spinner from the West Indies? Because it matters for Test cricket

I remember this
'While the Lions team he demolished went on to greater things – Sam Curran, Ben Foakes, Liam Livingstone, Haseeb Hameed, Jack Leach, Dom Bess – Warrican did not'.

A nice little article on Nandu right before the start of the first round of matches.
Vice-captain of the defending champions at only 21 years old.

Nandu prepared for West Indies' domestic season by facing a variety of spinners on a variety of surfaces, including black and red, in Chennai. He hopes he can incorporate the Chennai lessons against spinners in the Caribbean.
