Pakistan v West Indies at Christchurch

spot on citing the problems.

I want to hear solutions from these guys!  The only person who has offered any kind of solution is Kallicharran!  He talks about going back to grass roots to reshape the young ones....

btw - while reshaping the youngsters, get rid of WICB too!  ::LOL::

So is it just me or does anyone else thinks that this world cup has been made to favour the batsmen in the way the pitches are prepared plus the size of some of these grounds in New Zealand are not the biggest. There have been about 5 matches where teams have scored 300+ runs. Even teams like UAE scoring 280+ runs. The bowlers are really having a hard time because these pitches are making batsmen look better than they are while the bowlers are looking worst than how they are.

I have always felt that Holding should be a part of West Indies cricket in a coaching or admin aspect because he seems to be one of the few persons who still have a clue regarding West Indies cricket.

Mikey has vehemently said over and over .... that he 'wouldn't touch it with a barge pole ' 

a clue and and honest nationalist interest that would lead him to do good work..Holding the opposite of Lloyd.

but Holding would be prone to get into a lot of trouble, make enemy of all up inside the cricket and have to leave because deh wud sabotage him.

but Holding is such a brilliant commentator he would be a great loss to the media.  the brits like Mikey so much that his voice finds its way into TV shows like Foyles War, the famous and very enjoyable english police detective show

I think the pitches in AUS will be more equal to both batsmen and bowlers ... and in some cases, possibly more favourable to bowlers ........

bull who is Mikey to tell us what to do or how we perform


we are the Windies we do things our way and we good at it

Crap seamers are the problem in SOME teams  .

Spinners doing just fine !

Crap openers as well . Even good teams like Kiwis are down 84 - 4  :-[

Saffies as well : bailed out by Miller and JP.....England too !

Perth and Gabba will suit the seamers ....... Adelaide and MCG the spinners !!

So to get back to Rowe's point :

Does it really favor Batsmen ? cause all the Top Orders including Oz has stumbled ...

Kiwis , saffies , W.i : have all been at 80 sumting for 4  ! :-\
