Amazing stuff in the ongoing ODI between India and West Indies. Roach and Rampaul have just put on 99 unbeaten for the final wicket, and Rampaul has scored a world record 86 not out for a number 10 in an ODI. He hit 6 sixes as well, including one off the final ball of the innings.

There are signs that the Windies are pulling themselves together a bit, which can only be good. They have realised that the days of four fast bowlers terrorising batsmen across the world are long gone, and so they've got two or three great young spinners knocking around to add some variety. Some good young batsmen as well. Hopefully they will start to pull it round now.

Yeah I agree, it's disappointing to see them so abject in world cricket, when I was a kid they were terrifying. I went to the first T20 at the Oval a few months back against them, we won comfortably but you could see some potential in some of those younger guys

 

Haven't seen any Rampaul's knock, but that's amazing.

 

On another note, I was up stupidly early this morning and had the Aus v NZ test on. Ponting was looking very good again after his place in that side is under loads of pressure.

Thoughts? I can only assume they have used some kind of PS criteria including on the mic to place Sangakkara at number 2 possibly for his pipe-bomb at the MCC Spirit Of Cricket lecture during the Summer, I suppose you could nit-pick some of the lesser numbers and I would probably have put Kallis slightly lower down the list as well but it doesn't read to bad.

He's got another channel under just 'robelinda' as well. He's brilliant, been watching his stuff for months.

 

As for that list, it's alright but what criteria is it judged on? Just tests? All international cricket? Domestic stuff as well?
