    What's been the toughest away ground in the history of test cricket?

    Not sure if this has been debated before, but i was just wondering at any perticular period of test cricket what has been the hardest ground for an away team to travel to? a ground where the home team were simply unbeatable? i came up with this thought because back in our glory days i was too...

    Ottis Gibson set to leave West Indies post?

    Thats the rumour flying around today!! Link Very interesting indeed, i don't quite know how to react to this to be honest, on one hand i think he's done a decent job, i mean we've won back to back test series for the first time in many years, we drew test series vs Sri-lanka and Pakistan, we...

    Do domestic structures define the test rankings?

    Just looking at the four day competitions of the leading teams like SA, England, India and Aus and the pattern is quite clear, they all seem to have the best structures in place, i don't know a great deal about how SL and Pakistans work but i know ours is dominated by a team (Jamaica) who have...

    Who can stop South Africa?

    Looking at their record over the last four years or so it's quite frightening to be honest, only one series defeat in the last 21 test series!! :-O , and now they are on a ten series unbeaten run, they already beat England away, just beat Australia away and India have regressed aswell so who...

    The double standards need to stop!!

    I come on this forum to interact with other fans and to give a west indian viewpoint, now i'm not saying i've been a complete angel since i signed up here, but i've always tried to adhere to the rules of the forum, just over a week ago i was conversing on the WI vs Aus thread with a poster who...

    Has Roach just had his "NZ" moment?

    Looking at Roach's career from the begining it's always reminded me of what Steyn went through early on, he made his debut for the SA team aged 21, did ok but eventually he got dropped, then he went to county cricket to develop his game, after that experience he managed to work his way back into...

    UDRS STUFF relating to the Australia in the West Indies 2012

    We've been absolutely robbed today!!!.. i can't believe they overturned that decision when there was no evidence whatsoever to suggest that it wasn't out!!, just disgraceful and it's blatant favoritism like that which brings light to the notion that the ICC are in bed with certain teams!!!.. 8-)...

    Does WI's draw with Pak last year look a lot better now?

    Considering what they've gone on to do since? :D it's amazing that we played virtually the same eleven bar Khan and the new wicket-keeper and really could have nicked the series but for a 90 run last wicket stand in the first innings of the second test, i remember the Guyana pitch in the first...

    Declining batting orders making rookies look good?

    It would seem that way to me, lately we've seen the emergence of some good bowling prospects such as De Lange, Cummins, Pattinson, Bracewell, Philander, Yadav etc but clearly it can't be a coincidence that their rise has coincided with the decline of most of the top teams batting orders? Bar...

    Teenage openers!!

    Just looking at how Kraigg Brathwaite has started his career for WI, three 50s in his last four tests at the age of 18 (just turned 19 now), and all away from home, i'm just wondering how many openers who debuted in their teens went on to be greats? and are there any who had a better start than...

    Jamie Siddons

    He's been with Bangladesh for three years now and of course more often than not his team have lost but recently he seems to have got his players playing above themselves, with the climax of those efforts coming with their victory over England the other day, so how good is he? and could he make a...

    Who will be the next side to win a test series against the top 4?

    Just reflecting on the heavy defeats NZ, Bangladesh and Pakistan have taken recently in their respective test matches and it's made me wonder who will be the next side out of the so called "second tier" to actually win a test series against the top four? looking at the records it looks like the...

    Left-arm spinners

    Apart from Vettori has there been many great left-arm spinners at test level? and if not whats the reason for it? are leftys at a disadvantage when it comes to spin? Monty Panesar made a big impact for a while but he seems to have been figured out now.

    Will the dynamics in test cricket change once the veterans retire?

    Just looking at the top sides these days they have quite a few players who are 30 and over, India Tendulkar= 36 years old Sehwag= 31 years old Laxman= 35 years old Khan= 32 years old Dravid= 37 years old Australia Ponting= 35 years old Hussey= 34 years old Lee= 33 years old Katich= 34...

    Ottis Gibson quits England for Windies role

    LINK I guess it's good that we've got a decent young coach with fresh ideas and his experience in the England set up should serve him well, he seemed to have had a big impact on the England bowlers too, what do people think of this appointment? is it a move in the right direction for the Windies?.
