    *Official* Sri Lanka’s Tour of the West Indies-2021- All Format

    Nice to see Brathwaite do well. He was my favorite WI test batsman 2 years ago, but then his batting suddenly took a dive. I'd drop Blackwood and Campbell from this team. Dowrich, Chase, Hope, Hetmeyer, Bravo and Pooran can fight for their spots.

    *Official* Sri Lanka’s Tour of the West Indies-2021- All Format

    Score seems about 50 short. I felt Cornwall, Roach and Kraigg could have milked the runs a bit more, and a bit longer, as things didn't seem too tough out there. It's interesting comparing Kraigg to the West Indies other big openers. Kraigg has about 9 tons in 68 matches, which (judging from...

    New ball's making Kraigg look jittery.

    Odd dismissal. Was rooting for him to hit 50.

    *Official* Sri Lanka’s Tour of the West Indies-2021- All Format

    I'm liking the look of Da Silva. Hard to see Dowrich making it back on this team, unless he plays as a pure batsman, which he probably can, given how weak this line up is. What's the word on Da Silva? What's his domestic reputation like?

    Windies Team Discussion, and Other Related Things Thread

    So, the Windies have just posted their test team. Nice to see Mayers there, and nice to see WI trying a new captain, but the team list still irks me. Are there any plans to get Pooran on the test team? Are Hets and Chase washed up?

    That time Shiv Chanderpaul hit a 4 and a 6 in the last 2 balls of an ODI

    Given WI's recent win, it's worth remembering the last time the Windies successfully chased down nine or more runs in the 50th over of an ODI. This was back in 2008 against Sri Lanka. West Indies won that game chasing down a target of 236, their highest ODI chase against Sri Lanka before...

    https://i.redd.it/szygbuk4jqm61.jpg Just noticed that Hope has more ODI runs since the start of 2019 than any other batsman, with a better average than even Kohli.

    Shai Hope's ODI average almost up to 55. The guy's been one of the best ODI bats in the world for a while now, but bizzarely can't seem to translate even a fraction of this to tests.

    *Official* West Indies in Bangladesh 2021

    Well, that was depressing. Expected more from Jason Mohammed, but the others did about as poorly as expected. Alzari and Rovman seemed the only ones who knew what they were doing. Was (naively) hoping this tour would unearth a Windies Labuschagne, but nope. No luck there.

    How would Sachin Tendulkar have fared in T20s?

    Anyone who batted as well as he did in the IPL - when an old man and new to the format and with the burden of being a superstar who finds himself forced by fans to prize his wicket more than might be beneficial for the T20 format - would have been a great T20 player. Certain great players of...

    ****Official Australia in England 2020 (Non-Ashes)*****

    This game was such a roller coaster. First England were down, then up, then down, then mildly up again. Then the Aussies were down, then further down, and then Maxwell turns up, but it's too late, surely. Then up the Aussies go, and up, and up, and then England go up a bit...but is it too late...

    Would Kevin Pietersen Have Made the SA Team?

    He'd have easily made the ODI and Test teams IMO, and probably had a better and longer career too.

    rating players is dumb

    It might be annoying, but constant rating, argument and taxonomy is how you get close to some kind of truth. And most of the old timers on this forum seem to go to lengths to look beyond mere stats. They mightn't all agree exactly, but their arguments tease out nuances and chisel away toward...

    *Official* Pakistan in England 2020

    Babar Azam's good form looks to be continuing. His last 8 innings: 104, 97, 8, 102*, 60, 100*, 143, 52*

    Rank the 10,000 club

    Lots of people putting Sanga over Ponting. Wasn't Ponting's dominance longer than Sanga's? Or is Ponting's Subcon-conditions record the deciding factor? The boose, parties and banging model years. He couldn't juggle cricket and the sudden cash and fame. He also had tyrigium, a growth on the...

    Follow-on mercifully avoided. Game is once again interesting.
