    Let's Talk About Cricket Grounds Better Than The Sydney Cricket Ground

    Best I have been to is Kensington Oval in Barbados. Durham is on my list to visit. TBF, I've seen many village grounds that have something special too.

    Has Roach just had his "NZ" moment?

    Roach has picked over 50 Test wickets, under 30 a piece, while under 24 years old. I can't imagine there are many bowlers who can say the same. Hard to say he will be up there with Steyn though. But it's a good thing the Windies have a fast bowler that can be compared with the world's best bowler!

    Cricketers whose game styles and techniques you like but personalities you dislike.

    I've never liked Ponting's behaviour during the fourth Test in 2005. He was having a go at England's use of 12th men, after he was run out by Jones' substitute. As a matter of fact, Simon Jones was really injured and never returned to Test level ever again.....

    Not commenting on your eye sight, but.... What I saw was a bat just NOT over the line when the stumps were pegged back a bit (hence out), but the bails still making contact with the stumps (hence not out) at that specific film frame. The next frame had the bat over the line and the bails off...

    What's the forecast? I've been to the West Indies a few times (though never to Trinidad), and what I've seen is that really gloomy skies can turn into bright sunshine within minutes.

    **** off Powell. He's young, he might turn out to be a fine batsman, but to review that is nonsense. And here is Sammy! I LOVE SAMMY!

    I didn't see that coming...... Clarke's declaration behind last game made sense, but this seems off. I really hope The Windies make it. Come on! And this: Whatever happens, I will always think this declaration is not right...., but I sure as hell like it!

    The Laws state that a bail has to be completely removed from the stumps. Was that so?

    100 up. Good to see these two build a decent partnership. The series really need the Windies to outscore the Aussies here. That's not easy and I'm affraid it won't be probable either. And as I type, Bravo goes....

    I can come a long way with WW! Missing some of your best players due to fitness or IPL will always hurt WI more than most other teams. Let's, for arguement's sake, assume the best WI XI are at the same level as any nation's best XI. The 2nd XI will always be worse. There are simply fewer...

    Lately I've discussed with a friend if it is possible to adapt to blazin' carnaval cricket when you've kept a straight bat for several decades. We've seen Kallis adapt and now Dravid.

    Not the best decision by the umpire, to start with. You can't be sure that pitched in line, hence the call should still always be Not Out!

    62 is the word on cricinfo. So, 192 from 62 on a fifth day deck. All results still possible!

    ***Official*** Australia in the West Indies 2012

    Nah, it's a good match. Maybe not the best cricket, but certainly a good match. I guess WI will blow the Aus top order away, just to see the lower order scramble a win.....

    UDRS STUFF relating to the Australia in the West Indies 2012

    I've been watching cricket since 1993. In 1995, when I was in London, I visited a pub for a drink and guess what: cricket was on. A nice English chap was happy to explain my question about the M in OMRW. I also wondered why the English cowardly took on their former colonies in the west, assuming...
