    Bryce McGain - too old to play tests?

    thoughts? should he be picked for the indian test series i think he should be in the squad - but Casson hasn't done anything wrong.. just one game on debut many have said that McGain's age means he can't play because he's not experienced enough and so we have no time for him as he is old

    So now what do you prefer? ODI's vs 2020s

    So i feel we have watched enough of 2020s to have an opinion over which we prefer i am warming to 2020s a lot... although that may not be because of the format it self... but because of this exciting IPL tournament or big crowds... but yea

    The 4 pace idea - proven to be not good ?

    with the overrate we saw Symo and Pup having to bowl 20 overs together and leaking 70 runs in that crucial period which could be the difference between the sides i dont think we're gonna see this tactic again.. that said Windies seem to do ok without a spinner?

    Lee, Clark..who should be our third fast bowler?

    There are quite a few options I like Hilfy.. but is it too early to put him in with guys like Bracken? Tait? I dont think Johnson is ready yet at all.. but he'll be for the future Which would provide the best balance? Bracken would be good with his left arm swing, and especially for the...
