    Short Films

    A lot of my free time (often while waiting for stuff to render) is spent on Twitter, Facebook and watching short films. Not sure how many others are into it, but I'll share a couple of interesting ones, good or bad. Keen to uncover others that anyone else might share too. Yours Truly...

    Haiti Charity Match?

    Are we doing anything for this, guys?

    65 seconds with Dave Mohammed

    The man, the legend. Was brilliant for T&T against Guyana in the Haiti Fundraiser tonight. Definitely the pick of the bowlers, though he only took 2-19. Given the time of night and Premiere Pro playing up atm, I've cobbled this highlights package together with Windows Movie Maker (which I've...

    *Official* Champions League Discussion and Results Thread

    My workload IRL is pretty light until the end of January (ie start of DL season) and I'm feeling somewhat rejuvenated at the moment, so I figure I'll give this CL thing a go, ITBT. Teams Queensland (Aus) Victoria (Aus) West Robbham (CW) East Robbham (CW) Trinidad and Tobago (WI) Otago (NZ)...

    T20 Cup II: Availability Thread

    Might as well get a jump start on this. As in the inaugural competition, players need to opt in for this, as I know some don't want to risk their health and/or reputation playing T20 stuff. Who's in? LA Camps (ERUB)

    Togo team bus attacked

    This issue transcends sport, so I've started the topic here instead of the Sports forum. Read here. According to various reports the Togolese team bus has been attacked in Cabinda, Angola, after crossing into the country by road from the Republic of Congo. The latest news indicates that the...

    **Official** West Indies domestic season 2010

    This starts tomorrow. I know a lot of people don't generally take an interest in West Indies domestic cricket, but I figure I'd continue the annual trend anyway. Appallingly little coverage by CricInfo thus far this year. Worse than usual, with just a schedule and almost nothing else. Hopefully...

    Hollywood Cricket

    The majority of sports movies, in my opinion, languish between mediocre and poor. Without even considering cricket-themed films. So it got me thinking about potential films and the casts that might be attached if they got made. A few months ago I started a research project with a view to a...

    Worst Nation of the decade?

    Not necessarily the worst performing players, but a collection of XI cringeworthy selections for your country of the decade. Now this will be more challenging the better your team is, so it may produce some interesting results. Test Daren Ganga - a fine leader, great guy, but terrible...

    Gayle has got to go

    Somewhat interesting, scathing commentary by Andre Baptiste. Chris Gayle is still the wrong man for the job of West Indies captain. Let me repeat, for those whose hearing may be prejudiced by incessant reggae music: Christopher Henry Gayle is not the person to lead West Indies into a bright and...

    Twitter sheep

    For people Twitter-inclined, suggest others to follow. @Swannyg66 - Because Graeme Swann is one of the most personable sportsmen around. Some classic tweets. @simonpegg - It's freakin Simon Pegg. @ThatKevinSmith - spends a considerable amount of time responding to comments and questions by...

    Ramnarine: The Legend That Wasn't?

    I was in a nostalgic mood today, casting my mind back to various players from past days of cricket. It was a strange experience, because thinking back to players who were around just recently seems like a lifetime ago. It seems almost surreal to think of Sherwin Campbell and Adrian Griffith...

    Soho-bound...

    I'm doing work experience in Soho next week, 9-5. I'll be traveling from Southampton, as I expect that would be the cheapest option. I know very little about traveling in London, but I've been told that I should go from So'ton to Waterloo, then via Underground to Oxford Circus, and from there I...

    Looking for as many votes as possible, obviously by CW cricket participants alone.

    Don't like cricket? Love it?

    Sign up for Cricket Web XI cricket. A cricket simulation/role playing game where you can rise through the ranks from domestic level to, potentially, international level. Yes, when I say it like that, it sounds like geek fare. But at the end of the day, we all post fanatically on an Internet...

    Change of name?

    Are we still all happy with Cricket Web XI? Or do you think we should fall in line with something more... realistic. That would entail, possibly, renaming CWLand (something that incorporates the CW roots, but sounds more like an actual country) and, obviously, calling CW XI by the same name...
