Certainly gotta fightback the yawns!  No one's watching this! If I wanna take a nap I'll do it on the beach. Chuck this Jurassic Age cricket and replace it with a best of seven T20s. 

Oh whoa, Kiwis dominating so far. Solid tons from Kane and Neesh. Today is crucial - if Martin fires (and there certainly is something in it for the spinners) then things might get worse from here. I guess we'll get a fair indiciator of the match verdict today.

Forget about the pitch, Look at the outfield? When the outfields around the world are lightening quick and well groomed this Jamaica outfield is super slow and totally unpleasant to the eyes.

That was Massive Total.Probably WI will atleast post something close to it.I dread to see them collapse and bat again.[size=16px]West Indies [/size][color=rgb(7, 86, 158)][/size][size=16px]19/0 (9.0 ov)[/size][/color]

4. Prepare faster Jamaican pitches
5. Dead pitches helping the opposition

8 years ago ago, Jamaican grounds men and WI selectors say

1. Ban Lara for rudeness and insubordination.

Pybus have a plan for getting good pitches.

the pitch is a road. even bounce, not much carry, not doing much off the seam, barely turning
