who's with me on this one?

@nshah - I don't know about all this attention span business, but I know I'd rather be in this stand:

than in this one

@teej101 Twenty20, the game for the current generation and those of short attention spans. More entertainment than sport. Maybe that's what they need over there. As for me, I'm a purist who hopes to take a seat amongst those duffers at Lords.

@nshah I suspect it might be something worse - maybe cricket's dying in the West Indies. I suspect only 20-20 can save it now. These days it's tough to watch a 5 day game, unless you're one of the duffers at Lords, independently wealthy and all that

@teej101, what can I say. Too much disharmony. In CLive Lloyd (and then Richie), they had a great leader, but they've been missing one in recent years. They could do with another one about now and do with sorting out all those contractual wrangles.

This match another death knell in the coffin of 1 day cricket perhaps?

Windies 133 all out - that is shocking! Sir Viv would be rolling over in his bed

@nshah, what do you think has accounted for the Windies poor performance in recent years? Apparently they used be good once

Oh dear. I guess it wasn't really any worse than expected. West Indies 100 for 8 after 27 overs.
