General Cricket Discussion

Cricinfo interface keeps getting worse day by day. The new main page seems to be dumbed down for people who like to read less and look at big pictures instead. Kids in other words.

Damn you, users of touch devices !!

 

[Aalay]

I agree, the new page is horrible. The old one was probably the best one.

Official WICB Media Release

Has things gone that worse between players and WICB? WICB, particularly Lloyd has made it loud and clear that WI cricket should come first for any player from the Caribbean particularly some domestic cash rich T20 leagues which core WI players seem to be more interested in. May be that is the reason for the omission of players from T&T from where most of our T20I specialists come from.

This is too much. I am all for Lloyd but now I smell a rat. I hope they pick a sensible replacement.

Similar thinking the last couple of days. Historically there have been racial issues, which always have been covered up, and it always end up with the Trinidad and Guyanese players ending up on the short end, like why was Miller picked ahead of Dev Bishoo?

Miller's selection is not dubious. He has been bowling exceedingly well of late. Some are of the opinion that he should have been in the initial 15 member squad itself but that is a bit too overboard. Bishoo was not even a contender, TBH Permaul was but Miller is a better bowler plus he can bat.

Interesting for those of us who will be following the World Cup on the radio. Kevin Pietersen will be summarising on Test Match Special from the quarter finals.

But I thought both KP and Aggers didn't like each other?

 

[Skater]

That's what makes it interesting. Last time I heard Pietersen on the radio Aggers came in unexpectedly and he walked out, with Aggers repeating 'talk to me Kevin, talk to me Kevin!'. I'm also guessing they'll make sure Graeme Swann doesn't get on air with him either.

 

[Aalay]

Haha, It will be good to hear a round 2 between KP and Aggers and that shit bloke Swann chirping in between.

I am also interested to see how India vs Pakistan will shape up this time. India is in horrible form and haven't won a game since landing in Australia. All of our key players are out of form. On the other side, Pakistan's bowling attack is not looking very strong except Irfan.

Seems a Good news coming for Pakistan.

That would make sense as I read all the England India matches would be which fits in with that, now just gotta find where!
