    ***Official*** West Indies in Zimbabwe 2017

    ***Official*** West Indies tour of Zimbabwe 2017 Blimey!!..I tried to look for a thread for this series as it's starting tomorrow and it's as if we aren't even playing or something. I know it's not the most glamorous series around but come on guys :laugh: . Anyway here are the fixture lists...

    Windies Team Discussion, and Other Related Things Thread

    He's sorted out his problems with the board now so In theory, he should be good to go. But he missed this ODI series in England because he claimed "he wasn't ready". The thinking might be that he wants to play first class cricket for Trinidad first (which starts in around five weeks or so)...

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of the UK 2017

    Just glad the series is over tbh. Tests went as well as we could have realistically hoped. T20 was a regulation win which was no surprise as we're simply dominant in that form of the game. The ODI team is just in one big development phase at the moment. And I think that's exactly what we saw...

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of the UK 2017

    Alright Guys I know I'm late to the party but I was just tired of all things cricket after that third test tbh. Probably just disappointment I guess. Anyway when you look at the results on the face of things then it looks like we've been thrashed two times and got a lucky win in-between...

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of the UK 2017

    Anyway, some great news for Kraigg Brathwaite today as it's confirmed that he has signed a short-term deal to play for county side Yorkshire HERE. This was the hope I had before this series, that some of our young batsmen would stand up and possibly impress some county sides. Kraigg has a great...

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of the UK 2017

    Laws was raving about him after the ton he got the other day. And importantly he mentioned how "great of a fielder he is". I understand that Kyle has more cricket experience under his belt. But when I weigh everything I ask myself this. 1. Who's likely to cost us a wicket in the field? (Kyle)...

    Rank the Test playing nations in order of historical greatness

    I'm so glad people have mentioned the WI team of the 60s, who stood up to the two "super powers" of those days and made significant inroads into their dominance. And let's be honest we were good in the 70s, 80s and a lot of the 90s too. I also think we need to take into account the populations...

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of the UK 2017

    Yeah, I don't think it was the brightest idea but with this being a two day game I doubt the boys are that fussed about it tbh. Both Kraigg and Shai have set a standard and we can only hope that they will be right up for it again next thursday. I was hoping Chase would have got a few runs but I...

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of the UK 2017

    Anyway, we've got a two day warm-up game tomorrow. The question is who do we pick considering we've only got a 15 man squad? Personally, I'd be inclined to rest some players tbh. Kyle Hope Powell Hetmyer Chase Blackwood Reifer Dowrich wk Holder Bishoo Cummins Joseph I think it's best to rest...

    Caribbean Premier League 2017

    He's in the Jamaica squad for the next first class season. And boy yard is gonna be quick man because Leveridge is there too. Hopefully Oshane will step up to the plat and add to the growing number of young pacers that are emerging in the region. Harding and Chemar Holder at Bim, Shepard at...

    Caribbean Premier League 2017

    I told a high ranking member of the WICB around a year ago that they should offer the kid a deal that if he can lose two stone he will gain himself an automatic West Indies contract for a year minimum. But they didn't listen and every year that goes by is another year that Rakeem wastes. Because...

    He hasn't won anything though, has he? Lost the t20 final (thankfully) and couldn't win the champions trophy at home.

    Who just beat the Aussies :D I wonder if the SL board will go to him hand on foot and beg for forgiveness?

    ***Official*** Australia in Bangladesh 2017

    And to my Australian friends. Surely If Aus lose this series Lehman must be under pressure? Would they ever consider getting rid of him before the ashes? And who would replace him? (and please don't suggest Law because we shall be taking his passport and he won't be returning to the country of...

    What was crap about my original post on this subject then?

    ***Official*** Australia in Bangladesh 2017

    Why do you think I'm posting "crap"? I think the points I made about Eng/Aus's failures in SC conditions, coupled with their lack of a quality spin attack were totally valid. And can anyone argue that Pak/India wouldn't put up a much bigger fight in BD?

    ***Official*** Australia in Bangladesh 2017

    Two away wins against sides in the top three is much more significant than beating teams at home in hugely favorable conditions imo. But hey, we'll be playing them at home soon so we'll see if your notion proves to be correct.
