    Should Kohli be allowed to play County Cricket before India's next tour In England?

    He seems to be interested in doing so... Link Now I'm sure under normal circumtances the English public and County Cricket coaches/players would be salivating at the mouth at having a world class player like Kohli grace their cricket grounds for a couple of weeks. But the question is should...

    Are there many overweight cricketers who were top class or even an ATG?

    Just wondering. This young man... Is RAHKEEM CORNWALL and he is very much on the verge of earning a West Indies call-up. He's an off-spinner who has actually been in incredible form recently. He took a 5fer against India in a recent warm-up game, took an 8fer for the WI A-team when they...

    Why do young foreign batsmen keep doing well when they first tour India?

    Just thinking about the good performances of Hameed and Jennings in this current series between India and England and the truth is they aren't the first young batsmen to go to India for the first time and do well are they? Williamson= Scored a ton in his first tour there? Cook= Did he too...

    Phil Simmons set to be named new West Indies coach!!

    Link Well from our side of the pond it's no surprise as the rumours were going around even before the world cup had started and they were in fever pitch after we lost to his team. He's done an excellent job with Ireland but of course WI is a completely different kettle of fish. This is...

    Are tons really that impressive in this era?

    You look around in the current climate and there a dime a dozen now. Smith's filling his boots, Warner seems to get one every innings, Sanga's having a ball, Williamson gets a double having been dropped three times!!.. AB in this current series vs WI, Kohli has three vs Aus...a youngster like...

    Pragyan Ojha banned from bowling

    Well well well!!..looks like a spinner from one of the "big three" has finally been caught with his pants down :ph34r: Link It's funny because some posters were giving me stick when i suggested he was dodgy after Narine was called :huh: ....i have to wonder why it took them so long to ban him...

    Will "mystery" off-spinners be eradicated from the sport?

    In light of the recent crackdown on actions and the situations surrounding Narine, Ajmal and Senanayake one wonders if the days of magical offys are set to be a thing of the past? bar Swann has there really been many conventional off-spinners who have captivated the audience and had the ability...

    Rangana Herath...could he have been up there with Warne and Murali?

    In the last few years the way he's been performing has been simply stunning. He appears to have all the tricks and always stays calm in the heat of the battle...sadly his age is probably against him but i wonder if he was a little younger and had another four or so years left with the form he's...

    Otis Gibson sacked and Micky Athur set to take over as Windies coach?

    Alright fellas!! :D Big news coming out of the Caribbean today of major changes to our coaching set-up, it all started YESTERDAY when rumours started circulating that Gibson hadn't travelled with the squad to Grenada for the first ODI game against Bangledash on Wednesday...but there was a lot...

    Is there a more in-form young opener in first class cricket right now?

    This is Kraigg Brathwaite's record in first class cricket over the last two years... So that's domestic, A-team and even one test thrown in...i'd love to know if there is another young opener anywhere in the world with a better record than that in first class cricket over the last few...

    14 year old Trinidadian breaks Lara's schoolboy record and then scores 404 not out

    This discussion has been going on in the NZ vs WI thread so i figured it needed it's own thread so the other one doesn't go by the wayside... Link Due to his amazing form he has just been called up to the Trinidad u17s team having previously scored heavily for the u15s age 13...and if he...

    Can Sunil Narine become an all time great?

    1. He's dominated the IPL for about three years in a row now 2. At international level hes been ranked number one in both t20s and ODI's and has very good averages 3. He's also adapted his game to foreign conditions having taken wickets in Australia, England, South Africa and New Zealand 4...

    Who will be the next bower to do a "Johnson"?

    A few years ago i'm sure many would have laughed if someone would have suggested that Mitchell Johnson would turn into the monster he currently is now, and it got me thinking...if you had to put your money on any other pacer out there today who could rise up and totally dominate like that who...

    Can a spinner rival Murali and Warne without getting 600+ test wickets?

    Just thinking...is it mainly the test wicket records that seperate them two from the rest or the fashion in which they dominated? both were innovative and had an aura around them...but if someone like Ajmal was only around 28 right now and had another good four of five years which allowed him to...

    Where do West Indies stand right now?

    Today's victory makes that six test wins in a row, seven test matches unbeaten and three test series won in a row. So the question is where do WI stand as a force in test cricket at the moment? obviously we're no SA and beating Zim doesn't mean a whole bunch but when you consider that we beat NZ...

    On our side of the pond there's a little bit of excitement brewing as our four day competition approaches, Guyana named their squad and there's a new name in the frame, a young lad by the name of "Tagenarine Chanderpaul", that second name sounds familiar right? :D well thats because Tagnarine is...

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

    Will one ever make it at test level and become a regular wicket taker in the current climate? seeing one on the international scene these days is extremely rare, we used to have the "tadpole" aka Dave Mohammed who played five tests back in the day but never had impressive figures, we also had...
