This is a bit of a tirade by Australia's Mathew Hayden about the new stadium in Antigua.
He says the ground is not good enough.
He said these words in "the Australian". Anyhow - so it goes-
So what about the latest drubbing we received?
Well, it was the last straw for Captain Lara, who says he is retiring from the one day version of the game -
Well- Once again, Gayle failed to fire, Samuels and Taylor were not in the lineup, and one has to ask questions about lots of things. With SA amassing 356 it is clear we were not bowling. Bravo was being whipped around the ground at will. Taylor should have been there to bowl -
Congrats to Darren Powell on his 48, and to Sarwan on his 92. Unfortunately there was nothing else to think of - We ended up with 289 which was respectable - I think our biggest failure was bowling.
The loudest congrats are due to AB de villiers on his massive maiden ODI century - 146!
That was massive effort
this morning by Bangladesh in their losing effort against the limies.. oh sorry I meant England - they started making all of them tremble by spinning a major hole into their order, before they limped to a win - and I noted it was the 1st time in recent memory that cricinfo.com referred to a first world team in such negative terms - that sort of commentary is usually reserved for Asia and the Caribbean.
Folks - Idol results show starting now.. Seeeeya..

Just awful cricket..Power play in over 44 to 49..wow Lara.
Power play is intended to stop boundaries by having everyone in the circle, but people like SA and Aussies, will simply launch the shots over the top - sad - you see he retiring from ODI's - I think its time.
The ground's not good enough? Well, I heard a commentator go on and on about how good it was. Is the Caribbean not good enough for you, Mr hayden? Don't talk to me about the Windies. Congrats Ab!
