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, […]

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
A tropical wave is affecting the island.
Generally cloudy to overcast with […]

I am so feeling I told you so right now. But not quite. 300 is still gettable. The Aussies reached 226/7 at the end of day 1. It could have been more, but it rained, and then it rained again. Symonds played his restrained-affluent best ad scored 67.
Beau Casson is in! This has been the […]

There is something about the cricket in the Caribbean, you don’t know whether its happening or not. Some people say that the World Cup is still on there with fat dudes playing and talking diving catches at first slip.
Here are a few stories coming from the land where the world cup is always on:

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 […]

Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Cricket
After India’s T20 championship victory, Andrew Symonds said something along the lines of T20 being a format where “the lesser sides can beat you easily”. Of course, Australia lost to Zimbabwe and then India, the two lesser sides he was referring to.
India has since kept Australia on toes in T20, […]

Brian Lara has announced that he is to come out of retirement to join the Indian Cricket League, the league that has “broken away” from International cricket, and is not recognised by the ICC. Lara, who announced his retirement from all forms of the game after the dismal World Cup, will certainly be one of […]

Two Twenty20’s and two one day Internationals down and… scores are level. England and the West Indies are so evenly matched that there’s very little to separate them. And that’s not saying we’ve had four tense and exciting games - quite the opposite, in fact. Rather, we’ve been treated to four very one sided affairs, […]

After Vaughan quit as captain of the one day side, all eyes were on who would be named as captain. Speculation was spot on as it was eventually given to Paul Collingwood. Irony abounds, considering that Collingwood was the most-oft picked player for the chop during England’s recent “down-time”. Fortunately, the crazy men have seen […]

I didn’t know if it needed saying again - Kevin Pietersen is not yet the finished article. Sure, he might be rated the best batsmen in the world, sure, he might be feared, and sure, he did have a pretty good test series against the West Indies, but he is still not yet the type […]
