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

    We've got to start using our home pitches to our advantage imo. We've pretty much got asian pitches now, so let's start using it to our advantage instead of being fixated about "pace" and all this stuff. We need to start producing better spinners and put pressure on away sides like Bangladesh...

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

    Cariah from Trinidad finished last season on fire aswell. He bats very patiently and knows how to build an innings. Alleyne also showed a lot at the begining of last season but slowed down towards the end. Then there's the likes of Yadram, Kalicheran and Stewert from the u19s who may well be...

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

    THANK YOU SIR!! It almost seems like commentators and fans alike seem to lose their minds when it comes to our team. Why? Can't people look at the rankings and see where we are right now? We've got a young team, many of whom are playing in England for the first time. Meanwhile England are...

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

    Well, there are some knocking around at first class level. Delorn Johnson and Sheldon Cotterell are two. Then there's some on the fringes like Mcsween and Obed Mccoy. Whilst at u19 level there's a kid for Leewards called Javiar Spencer who's meant to be something special. Would be great to...

    ***Official*** India's Tour of Sri Lanka 2017

    So how do SL recover from such a beating like this? It seemed like just yesterday they were rolling through Australia at home and everything looked promising. Then they lose the ODI series to Zimbabwe (and should have lost the test too tbh) and nowthis mauling against India has occured. Why has...

    Is there any need for that?

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

    Not expecting anything out of this series at all. But I will be looking to see how Laws's influence on the team is coming along. I like how he's building up the staff around him. Just want to see a least a little bit of improvement in all areas of the side. Concerned about Kraigg's current form...

    *** Official*** ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2017

    Just checked the stats. Since 2009 there has been five t20 world cups and three ODI world cups. England and Australia have won seven of those trophies between them and the Windies one. And the last time a team other than West Indies won a women's trophy was way back in the year 2000 when NZ won...

    *** Official*** ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2017

    Wowzers. Turned it off when India needed 51 from 54 balls and had SEVEN wickets in hand. Sorry to say but this is a choke of epic proportions. It's no surprise though because the fact is it's very, very difficult to take the trophies away from the two old guards that are England and Australia...

    *** Official*** ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2017

    Well done to India. What is clear though is Australia's attack is the weakest it's been in a long time. Little Sri-lanka knocked them out of the park in the group stage, England scored big against them aswell. Their primary strength these days is their top order...that's why they were able to...

    ***Official*** South African Domestic Season 2017/18

    Yeah cheers. We've always had talent tbh. The problem is u23 competition to nurture them once they leave the u19 level, so many are left on the sidelines, waiting for their first class debut and it hampers their development in a big way. Of course, some of the youngsters come through quickly...

    Will the West Indies ever rise again?

    We've just won an u19 world cup which produced the likes of Joseph and Hetmyer. And now a new bunch has just beaten South Africa away in a series. Maybe, just maybe, the penny is starting to drop and we might be on the verge of producing a few decent players for the future.

    ***Official*** South African Domestic Season 2017/18

    Believe me we know exactly how SA feel where the "poaching" is concerned. Chris Jordan was taken from us and now Jofra Archer, who played for our u19s just a few years ago, is set to follow in his footsteps after lighting up county cricket. It's just shameful tbh.

    ***Official*** South African Domestic Season 2017/18

    LOL come on now!!!..are we really gonna start comparing chokes? :D Anyway how do you rate this young SA team? Didn't they beat Sri-lanka the other day in a three match series? I think the openers were brilliant. Set up the innings with big partnerships in the last two games. The problem is once...

    ***Official*** South African Domestic Season 2017/18

    Can't believe Sa lost that...well er, maybe I can actually :D . Really chuffed for the young Windies players. I mean, let's put this into context. The SA bunch were largely older and played a lot more u19 youth internationals than our lot. Tbh only Stewert and the incredible Kallicharan had...

    Would be harsh to use the "C" word in relation to the Sa women too? :ph34r: How the skipper contrived to continue with pace towards the end when spin done most of the damage is beyond me tbh.

    *** Official*** India in West Indies 2017

    I will try to post more often but it's tough to watch our performances right now tbh. What really is there to say? We're at our lowest ebb at the moment, no two ways about it. And unless we sort out our structure that has some massive holes within it, the losses will continue. I can't even bare...

    9th June - Group A - New Zealand v Bangladesh

    It is when NZ had them 34/4 and then let the next two batsmen put up a 200 plus partnership in conditions they aren't even used to :ph34r:
