  1. Incidentally, I finally got my "free poster" for joining the England team newsletter thingy. It was an A3 picture folded in half and stuck in an envelope, or the team doing the sprinkler. Not exactly what I'd envisaged from a commemorative poster, but it'll go on the back of the loo door.

     

    got mine a few weeks ago thought it would be a bit bigger

  2. I don't think they're altogether bad, just when they're bad they are horrid.

     

    I don't know, the West Indies have been horrid for a very long time now. I don't think this is far off an all time low for them, but at least they seem to have some talented young players. I wonder if it is about time for them to chuck out the deadwood-Sammy, Smith and any seam bowler not named Rampaul or Roach-and start again. I also think Chanderpaul's time is done, as great a player as he has been. But then again, with home series against Pakistan and India coming up, they need anyone with a bit of experience to avoid an absolute mauling.

     

    Amazing to think how big a deal it was a decade ago when we beat them here, and then again when smashed them comfortably in the Caribbean back in '04. Tony Cozier is one of my favourite commentators, but every time I hear him now, there's always a bit of sadness and disappointment in his voice. In 60-odd years of watching them he's probably never seen it this bad.

     

    In lighter news, India v Australia would be a cracker tomorrow. Winner faces Sri Lanka or England, so I'd probably rather the Aussies win (if we get through of course)

     

    actually the winner tomorrow will play pakistan we would get either south africa or new zealand
