    Surprised New Zealand beat Sri Lanka so easily. An underrated team.

    I like McCullum. When his batting is on form, he makes Botham look pedestrian.

    They are an improving team - Williamson is a top player and the bowling unit is quite impressive
    They will give us a test before the Ashes

    An interesting last day ahead in Sydney where Australia lead India by 348 runs - an overnight declaration or bat on for half an hour?
    Australia 7 for 572 dec and 6 for 251 (Smith 71, Burns 66, Rogers 56, Ashwin 4-105) - India 475 (Kohli 147, Rahul 110, Rohit 53, Ashwin 50, Starc 3-106)

    Chris Gayle smashing the South Africans to all parts. 50 off 17 balls after blocking his first few deliveries!

    Could be a dangerous team in the World Cup?

    West Indies beat South Africa by four wickets in the 2nd T20 at the Wanderers
    West Indies 236 for 6 (Gayle 90, Wiese 3-43) - South Africa 231 for 7 (Du Plessis 119, Bravo 2-32)
    West Indies pulled off the highest successful run chase in the shortest format, propelled by Chris Gayle's 90 off 41 balls, held together by Marlon Samuels' seventh T20 half-century and finished by Darren Sammy, who led his side to a series win with a game to spare.

    Chris Gayle launched a scathing attack on the West Indies Cricket Board and the Clive Lloyd-led selection panel for dropping the senior pair of Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard from the ODI series and the World Cup. Repeatedly labelling the move as "ridiculous", Gayle felt it was a case of "victimisation" against the two Trinidadian allrounders.

    Fast bowler Brett Lee has announced his retirement from Twenty20 cricket, effective from the end of this year's BBL campaign. Lee's retirement from T20s also brings an end to a career that began at the elite level nearly 20 years ago; he made his first-class debut in April 1995.
    Always came across as a decent guy IMO

    It seems odd that they would drop either on cricketing grounds. Have they better players?

    I think the simple answer to that is No - it seems West Indies cricket is in a political minefield at the moment - money is at the root of all the problems
