is it true that Somerset in the UK are considering sueing Gayle for breach of contract? It seems he is supposed to be playing for them in the county 20 over tournament.

Suresh Rania

2010 World Twenty20:

During the 2010 World Twenty20 within the West Indies, Raina was criticised for a perceived weakness against the short ball. together with his one hundred and one from sixty balls with 5 sixes and 9 fours within the two010 ICC World Twenty20 against South Africa on 2 could 2010, he became the third player to attain a Twenty20 international century when the West Indies' Chris Gayle and New Zealand's Brendon McCullum. He then missed the ODI series within the West Indies attributable to injury. In January 2010, Raina scored 106 from one hundred fifteen balls within the final of the triangular ODI tournament against Sri Lanka in Bangladesh. His innings took India to 245 when they collapsed to 5/60, however it absolutely was not enough to avoid wasting the match.

His batting was never a problem really, always thought he had it in him but his keeper has definitely come on good.  His next step, gotta learn to be able to bat in the shorter format.  He has never convinced me in ODI's as yet.  Still though, who cares, if I get to play at least one version of international cricket and do it very well, i'd take that anyday!!]]> Sat, 30 Jul 2011 04:31:34 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4342&PID=216358#216358 Player Discussion : Matt Prior http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4342&PID=216330#216330 Author: Sledger

Tis interesting reading through this thread. Max's concerns about Prior's inconsistency were valid in 2007 , but recent fine performances with both bat and gloves shows just how much he's come on.  In 2007 he was way down the list of wicketkeeper/batsman - now I believe he's the finest.  It shows just what with hard work  one can achieve.

Lisa , Clobber's comments that you've quoted are from December 2007 - they're hardly relevant now !]]> Tue, 01 Mar 2011 06:16:07 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4342&PID=213225#213225 Player Discussion : Matt Prior http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4342&PID=213219#213219 Author: Lisa Diane

I think it will take more than a couple of innings to restore his reputation - after all his dismissal in the first innings of the First Test suggests that some of his bad old habits with the bat aren't all that far away, but it frequently the case that if batting well his keeping will also come up a few notches too - the same was true of Geraint Jones (remember that blinding catch at Leeds the same day he made his maiden Test hundred?)

I also think so.]]> Tue, 01 Mar 2011 00:45:12 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4342&PID=213219#213219 Player Discussion : Steve smith http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5062&PID=213089#213089 Author: bladescape

Do not even get me started on this guy. This is the biggest farce within Australian cricket today. I dont know how he even gets picked in a first grade side, let alone a state team, and then the national side. He comes out and slogs when he is supposed to be a genuine number 6 bat, bowls tripe, and has the weakest arm I have ever seen. I would really like to know who his dad is. Does he work for ACB, or maybe Cricket NSW. There is no way Steve Smith is picked on pure ability alone. Guys like Brad Hodge have never been given a chance to perform, and is one of the most talented players currently playing the game, and then Steve Smith is picked to play in every team Australia currently puts on the park, being in the T20, ODI and test side. An absolute joke. When he was picked in the ODI side last year, he was asked on camera what he wanted to bring to the side, his response, was to lighten the mood in the dressing shed. WTF?? There are thousands of comedians un-employed within Australia, who would be much better at doing that, and most could probably play cricket better than Steve Smith also. Australia currently needs to prove its ability again on a world stage, and he is a majorly weak link in the side, and there are so many better selections that could be made. I really hope he does not play many more games, as he definitely does not deserve his position in any Australian team !!]]> Wed, 23 Feb 2011 14:16:22 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5062&PID=213082#213082
