Fordy62 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 This is a quite brilliant highlight to kick things off. It's probably as good a catch as I've ever seen in cricket. Amazing. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/35765665 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 So the minnows play each other with only the top few being allowed to compete v the "Big Boys". Will we see that in football or rugby? Meanwhile Scotland & Ireland are already out after two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we see that in football or rugby? Meanwhile Scotland & Ireland are already out after two games. Just a case of bundling up the qualification process with the final tournament. They just happen to be split for football and rugby. And as for filtering out the minnows, it already happens. Here, the Cayman Islands were eliminated in March 2015 in the 1st round of CONCACAF World Cup 2018 qualifying (away goals defeat to the mighty Belize.) The big boys (USA, Mexico etc) didn't get involved until the 4th round that started in November 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, cricket is a stupid game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Jordan must have paid someone off or something to still have a place in this side, and how he's listed is an all rounder is a joke too, he's barely an international standard bowler.

Too busy proof reading my own work to do it for the beeb as well! Poor from West Indies though, not really in the spirit of the game to have a 'keeper at either end.

There's talk of them playing with no wicket keeper when Jos Buttler bats. Apparently they're considering having him half way back to the boundary to eliminate the ramp shot.
