When did this minnow last win a series against Australia?
Maybe they would play better if they actually did light up during the game.
I remember reading about the 1996/97 WI tour to Australia.
They were being paid in dollars for their meal allowances, etc.
But KFC was their sponsor, who gave them heaps of vouchers. So they kept the cash and basically ate KFC for lunch and dinner for two months.
And people wonder why they were lethargic in the field, etc.
When do the Windies get their next 5 test series in an Australian summer, that will be something to see - well, the Australian ladies will be lining up anyway
haha classic. Can you remember if Ambrose and Walsh were still playing then ? Pretty much when those two retired was it. There has been nobody else since them. D grade in Sydney has probably produced better bowlers than the Windies since then.
All the kids want to play basketball these days. The cricket world can't compete with the US dollar.

1989-1990. They've won 3 and they were all in that period where Australia were really in the shit.
If i can remember Australia was on a 14 or 15 unbeaten test run when the Kiwi's did knock us off in that one off test. We'd just won 4 till in England and flogged the Paki's and the Lankans at home. Hardly a shit side at allIt was a reciprocal one test series.
One in Perth drawn. One in NZ lost by Australia.
I'd hardly say Australia were shit by this point. But NZ did posses a decent side as did everyone.
I don’t think NZ are a better Test team than Australia and I don’t think we will be higher in the rankings for long. I just think it’s funny- especially when Australians call us minnows while being lower than us in the rankings
I've never understood why quicks cut the line. It's a pet hate of mine
I had a bloke out off a no ball in 2003/04. He went on to make 80 and win them the game and I changed my run up the very next day, have not bowled a single front foot no ball since (although more than my fair share of full toss no balls lol).
Why not land with your toes just behind the line? There is literally no advantage to cutting it by the time you get through the action.
