This guy can thwack the ball real hard. Being really really short and stubborn, this guy charges a full speed Brett Lee delivery and makes contact on a regular basis. It still is early days for him, but what I see is good, as he read the slower ball too.
Some hope for West Indies Cricket, apart from Chrab of course.
Talking about chrab, his leadership skills have been praised by many, and his batting, well, he has averaged about 75 over the past two seasons in test cricket, the entire dough is more cleverly pointed out by my friend here.

West Indies v Australia, 1st Test, Jamaica, 5th day
It was a fighting match. Just that the West Indies were fighting as soon as Ponting made 150 on the first day. In the end, needing 240 odd to win on the last day, they succumbed to the accuracy of Stuart Clark, Brett Lee and Stuart McGill and ended the innings at 191, 96 runs short.
Clark returned with a five-for. Mc Grath II seems to be learning fast. From the West Indies, Ramdin the little keeper showed sparks of guts with his 36 of 61 balls, but when he was out, …read more

Brett Lee is currently enjoying some success off the cricket pitch, by singing a duet with Asha Bhosle. The song is currently in the Indian charts. Hmm.
Check it out for yourself:

The thing that defines all English fans of any sport – rugby, football, cricket – is that we’re hopelessly optimistic. We always believe we can do it. Sneak a cheeky one without anyone noticing. As Kevin Pietersen and Ian Bell took to the field on the morning of Day 3, still requiring some 350 runs just to avoid the follow-on, the overriding sense of “never gonna happen, never gonna happen” was opposed by a faint echo of “But what if…?”. I mean, all they had to do was bat for 3 days. It’s a situation in which all England batsmen …read more

You can’t take it away from the Aussies that they do play some beautiful cricket. I enjoy watching cricket, and I’ve not seen much better cricket than today. Australia were clnicial, precise and deadly. They did their job brilliantly, starting with a glorious 196 from Ponting, and backed up solidly by runs from pretty much everyone else in the team. Posting 602-9 dec was job one, and it was a job well done.
Admittedly, when you have Brett Lee opening the bowling for you, you have the right to be a bit smug. But the difference between Lee’s opening delivery and …read more
