Thoughts on India new test uniforms?

I mean they look good but is it test cricket.

Given the ICC and its members have relegated Test below T20 then it is inevitable.

I find it more disturbing that we have abandoned our green and gold for blue for the non field uniform.

India and West Indies ended in a draw

Last day washed out, havent heard anyone complaining

[Armchair expert]

Pakistan might put up a bit more of a fight than is expected this summer?

[locky801]

Got a pretty good batting lineup

[The Dark Knight]

Pakistan might put up a bit more of a fight than is expected this summer?

Yes, I expect them to be competitive against Australia, at least better than last time they toured Australia.
I'm looking forward to seeing how their top 5 go- Shafique, Imam, Masood, Babar, Shakeel seem solid and settled at the moment plus either Sarfaraz or Rizwan are very good keeper batsmen. They obviously have a reasonable group of fast bowlers too- Afridi, Naseem Shan, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf are their most notable.

[locky801]

Pakistan currently 4/354

Shafique 167*
Shakeel 57
Masood 51

Lucky Babar missed out

Was only a matter of time
Sad times ahead I fear

South Africa will send a weakened squad to New Zealand for next summer’s Test series against the Black Caps to ensure the nation’s best cricketers are available for its domestic T20 league.

On Tuesday, CSA chief executive Pholetsi Moseki confirmed no players contracted to the six SA20 teams, which are owned by Indian Premier League franchises, would travel to New Zealand for the two-Test series, which gets underway in Mount Maunganui on February 4.

[RB]

In other words, it's an A tour... shouldn't be counted as test matches if they're not sending their best available.

Shouldn't make a difference to the result, but their top bowlers may have been a bit of a handful on NZ wickets.
