[gold639]

WOW just read the thread and I cant believe it!

A test match tie!

BRILLIANT!

 

[MWaugh]

great story champ. sorry i havent posted in here in a little bit. trying to keep my story up with the likes of you sai and vaughn. very exciting tie though. as for the captaincy, i dont think lara should have given it up. he has always played at his best when he was in charge. if i was west indies cricket board i would have kept him on. always lead with class i believe.

great work mate. more reps for you!

 

[m_vaughan]

Yup Chanderpaul or Sarwan would be good options!

 

[SaiSrini]

Chanderpaul might be the better of the two options.

He has some good experience playing for the Windies.

Chanderpaul might be the better of the two options.

He has some good experience playing for the Windies.

Even Sarwan has quite a lot of experience for West Indies. Plus he is much more aggressive as compared to Chanderpaul, something a captain must have to survive in the pressures of modern day international cricket.

But yeah Chanderpaul probably has a slight edge over Sarwan.

 

[The Champ]

Thanks for ur comments guys and i think there is a stiff competition between the two contenders, maybe C'Paul will be selected

 

[MWaugh]

if i had to pick i would go for sarwan because he is exciting and he is young. the youth may help keep the team enthusiastic

 

[The Champ]

Well the news has arrived and Chanderpaul is newly selected captain for the current series against Kiwis and of course the upcoming SA series.


Chanderpaul will really have to handled more pressure from now on

BOND MISSES FIFTH TEST:


Snane Bond will miss NZ's last test against WI and also may be the first 2 odi's due to harmstring injury he sustained during the tied test match.

Its bad news really for the Kiwis and with already Cairns absent this a big blow for their chances of winning series, as WI may have upperhand for levelling the series
