  • Around the Wicket

    Alright, so the first test is over, and as expected, Australia take a 1-0 series lead. I can’t help but feel this was the Windies best chance at taking one off us, with Clarke and Hayden both out of the side. They didn’t, but they took us to...

    Volume 5 - Caribbean Capers Greetings and apologies. I must confess to a stuff up. When I read that the 1st test started on May 23rd – I assumed that was Caribbean time, and as a result – I thought I had 24 hours before the start of the tes...
