    ***Official*** Pakistan in West Indies 2017

    This is a rebuilding phase for our ODI team. Especially with Darren Bravo and Narine missing from the team aswell. The approach we took today was spot on imo. Get your eye in and build that great thing called partnerships/ we did that throughout the early to middle part of the innings and then...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in West Indies 2017

    He's more than just "solid" imo. I think his performance away to Pakistan proved he's a world class opening bat. Yes he'll need that average to go over 40 to really put a stamp on my claim but he's been doing well for quite a while now and I can only see him getting better in time. The style he...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in West Indies 2017

    Erm, because we were the best team perhaps? Let's remember we beat Australia in a warm up game, then beat England, then beat Sri-lanka, then beat South Africa, then got complacent and lost to Afganistan in a dead rubber game, then beat India in their own backyard in a massive Semi-final, and...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in West Indies 2017

    Tbf we should have won the second game. Fielding mistakes and silly shot options proved too much to overcome but today we were clinical and it was heartening to see the boys finally put up a good performance with the bat. By the time the next t20 world cup comes along we will most likely have...

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    Got to give NZ credit for being in such a dominant position without the likes of Taylor, Boult and Southee. And I'm sure they will take heart from this test despite them (probably) losing the series. Although I must say Broom doesn't look up to much and Nicholl's future at Test level is gonna be...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Even though Smith has been remarkable in this series, it's quite ironic that his recklessness in that last innings will probably cost his team the series. I understand he was getting into a groove at the time and his confidence will have been sky high but it was just one big shot too many and...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in West Indies 2017

    That Samuels decision really was vital at the time because we all know Samuels is decent against spin and would have been handy to have around at that point of the innings. Even on first viewing, I knew it was going down leg and after seeing the replay I was fuming. But that umpire is tytpical...

    Left-arm Chinaman bowlers!!..can they make it at test level?

    I started this thread in 2013!!...what's changed since then to make it unacceptable? :D

    ***Official*** Bangladesh in Sri Lanka 2017

    The question is is this all about BD's maturity as a team or SL's decline? To be beaten like that at home is just pathetic really and it's looking more and more like SL will be going through a very tough spell over these next few years. Which is crazy when you consider the beating they gave...

    You disagree? You think no pace attack would have done well on that track?

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Not saying they should have ran through them. Just saying they should have created more chances that's all. It's pitches like that that tell us who the world class seamers are..I'm sure SA or even NZ's attack would have created more problems tbh.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Erm I did watch the game actually and it was boring as hell today. I just think quality pacers find a way to get wickets on these sort of tracks. Let's not act like it's never happened before.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Great stuff from the Aussies and having batsmen other than Smith do well will breed confidence in their dressing room. I must say though does this last day's play underline the notion that India simply don't have any world class pacers in their arsenal? Would the likes of SA have let Australia...

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    The question is, has Latham been found out on a technical level or is this just a rough patch? It's funny how fate can be sometimes because when NZ were really in a hot spell a few years back they were looking for someone to partner him and kept chopping and changing as a result. Now they appear...

    ***Official*** Bangladesh in Sri Lanka 2017

    BD getting that win against England will surely give them confidence that they can get across the line again. Must say they've really stepped up in recent times and being a supporter of the team directly above them I have to admit their rise concerns me. They were good for large parts in NZ...

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    This is why SA are one of the very top teams. NZ had them in all sorts of trouble but you just knew Bavuma and De Kock would step up. Now all of a sudden they have a decent lead and the NZ players are looking a little dejected. The pitch doesn't look that bad still but NZ will have to be...

    How does a bloke who was meant to be "the next Shane Warne" then turn himself into a master batsman? HOW? :laugh:

    **Official** England in the West Indies 2017

    I'm usually an advocate for throwing in the youngsters. But the selectors have been foolish with their selections. Powell at three? REALLY? That right there killed our top order from the very start. The team that beat Aus at least had a structure to it, but this one was just an unbalanced mess...

    **Official** England in the West Indies 2017

    Well that was an absolute EMBARRASSMENT again wasn't it? SMH it's just painful to watch that stuff. First let me analyse the team. Kraigg= Noy sure this experiment is gonna work tbh. Yes he's still early in his ODI career so maybe deserves more time but he does put pressure on his fellow...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    It was crunch time Burgey and for me that session when a wicket didn't fall was absolutely fatal. Those are the moments when the cream rise to the top. O'Keef has surprised many on this tour but one gets the feeling that the pitch, coupled with the Indian's not being to familiar with him, is...
