Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

July 4th, 2008

Xavier Marshall : Where did he come from?

This guy can thwack the ball real hard. Being really really short and stubborn, this guy charges a full speed Brett Lee delivery and makes contact on a regular basis. It still is early days for him, but what I see is good, as he read the slower ball too.
Some hope for West Indies Cricket, […]

Bridgetown Weather

When I feel that a test match could become interesting, I normally keep a tab on all the factors affecting the match. Weather is one of the most important factors affecting a match. 
I Bring to you : Georgetown Weather. Everyone stand up and clap

West Indies vs Australia : 3rd Test : Session 2 & 3

Australia beat West Indies

West Indies v Australia, 1st Test, Jamaica, 5th day
It was a fighting match. Just that the West Indies were fighting as soon as Ponting made 150 on the first day. In the end, needing 240 odd to win on the last day, they succumbed to the accuracy of Stuart Clark, Brett Lee and Stuart […]

Omelette for Murali

eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket
Murali was greeted with eggs (I suspect they were rotten) upon his arrival in Australia.
This is rather disheartening that a player of Murali’s stature is getting this type of treatment. Oh, I don’t care what you think about this bent arm and bowling angle. You’ve got to respect people.
Reminds me […]
