Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
Seems odd for them to show cricket... I've been there in the summer and it didn't seem like the kind of place that would show any foreign sports.
Although I'm down for driving to downtown, I'm hoping for something in the west end as that will be closer to me.

A shitty android phone. Probably because you can't afford an iPhone.
Today I read Mark Nicholas article. It's disgusting. How can he refer Black people as short minds because their skin color is dark. He should b removed from commentary team and should not b allow to participate in any ICC event.

HARAM HARAM HARAM
>>66558296
I posted this on another cricket forum a short while ago in response to this:
I feel like Mark Nicholas' comments, whilst dim, have been misconstrued slightly. When he says 'short of brains', I don't think he is saying: the West Indies players are all stupid, therefore they are bad cricketers and cannot win the World Cup. What I think he is saying is that the West Indies adopt a certain brand of cricket, in which there is less of an element of over-analysis etc and nudging and nurdling to build innings. In the 2015 World Cup, England tried to play too smart, work the averages, look at the data, and it failed spectacularly. Whereas a team not thinking too much about and just blitzing it about, New Zealand, got all the way to the final.
I think Nicholas is trying to make the same point, albeit poorly. I think he means that the West Indies do not employ employ certain methods and styles which he construes as 'smart', but instead just go out there, trust themselves and knock India out of the World Cup by chasing 193. Perhaps he should say savvy, or technical (not skill, but gameplan)? The West Indies have shown that you don't have to play 'smart' cricket to win games - just whack it about. It could be argued that the West Indies immediate approach after losing Gayle early in the semi was not smart, brainless slogging, but afterwards they started playing cricket that was neither 'smart' nor 'stupid', just...good. Whilst I don't defend his statement, I think people have perhaps interpreted it wrong as a direct slight at the West Indies and West Indian cricketers, which I don't think it is.
My two cents.
>>66558296
They always treat the West Indies like this. Any other sport and a team that is second in the rankings, former champion would be a favourite, instead everyone else down the Ban and Afghanistan got media attention.
>>66558507
Everything isn't always racism, more likely honest misguided observation of West Indies cricket as a collective of late. Now Consider Nicholas doesn't watch IPL (he lives in Australia) and the last place he saw West Indies was Australian ODI World Cup led by Holder and it makes more sense, that's before we mention the never ending board fiascos (the latest was ongoing when he penned the article).
How many West Indians called the appointment of Holder stupid ? how many complain about what we saw in Australia recently not just in that World Cup but the following series..
Sammy has also misquoted his comment to sound far more inflammatory.
>"How could you describe people with no brains? Even animals have brains,"
He didn't, he said "short of brains" i.e unprepared or disorganised, but in all truth an honest observation of West Indies cricket of late as mentioned unless you're keen follower of T20/IPL.
Can you also ask Sammy who "these people" are exactly? he might want to be careful he doesn't became what he is insinuating, since when does ONE man in Australia represent a collective ?
Sammy is being disingenuous playing the victim to the supreme "everyone is against us,disrespects us and no one gives us a chance" it's simply not the truth not in England anyway where most people watch IPL and know WI's despite Test / ODI performance and the WICB shenanigans are always dangerous in T20s. I believe Athers and Michael Vaughan both tipped West Indies to win before the competition got under way.
All it's really shown us is Mark is unfit to cover T20 and used an inaccurate term in regards to Sammy's squad that eventually agreed to show up. I don't believe for a minute he is racist there isn't a commentator that talks more about the genius of West Indies greats than him, routinely describing Marshall or "Maco" as the cleverest bowler the game has ever seen and Llyod a genius captain etc etc
>>66558490
>>66558547
It's a little insulting and tinged with racism in my opinion. All Nicholas does is to recall the old stereotype of black beasts of burden who cannot think, just hit. I'm not at all surprised that people still think this way though.
>>66558592
How is it even racism? Nobody would have described Lara or Chanderpaul as short on brains. If people call WI this, it is because they are and their regression in test cricket proves that. Absolutely no game awareness, just slog at everything.
Everyone calm the fuck down. It wasn't racist and no one here is taking it that way.

If what you just said makes sense to you then yes, that's exactly what I mean. For all others arriving at non-strawman deductions, I don't mean this. But we are of course talking about this particular team at this particular time so what you suggest is an unnecessary use of hypotheticals solely aimed at getting into arguments with strangers on the internet.

We're not too concerned about whether or not the media rate our boys. It is a little annoying that no one is talking about guys like Badree who've been outstanding, but it works the other way as well, when guys don't show up they don't get singled out.
>>66558926
Ankush, if you think this is racism, or coming from a place of malice, you need to go back and take a look at the Test and ODI team's recent performances. Their cricket is most certainly "short of brains" (surprisingly enough, Pakistan are not playing stupidly in Tests, thanks to Misbah, Younis, Zulfiqar and Yasir) and so is that shambles of a board.
To accuse Mark Nicholas of racism is to me (if anything it was probably dumb to equate their T20 team with the Test and ODI ones given how different the squads are), deflecting from the real problems that West Indies cricket is suffering from. I definitely think the WICB are being incompetent and "short of brains", while the Test side aren't exactly covering themselves in glory either. Their bowling against Australia (Mark Nicholas was probably basing his opinions off that tour) was profoundly stupid, surprisingly from senior players like Taylor and Roach. The batting from that shitcunt Samuels has been the worst I've seen from any player in international red ball cricket in a long, long time. It could probably be classified as a total and utter lack of effort as well, though.
I do believe it was a "short of brains" move on the part of the WICB to force Shivnarine into retirement when there did not appear to be a youth replacement ready to take over his responsibilities, and Samuels' stupid shots and general lack of effort only exacerbated.
So yes, you could call this Indian a racist but I strongly believe decisions like those in international cricket and the kind of performances the country has been putting forward, do show that many in West Indies cricket today do appear to be acting like they are "short of brains" especially the WICB, the Test fast bowlers and their most "experienced" current player Marlon fucking Samuels
>>66559022
If you think this is dire, you should've seen their reaction to the entire Chris Gayle and Mel episode.

>>66559042
Jesus the comments on this thread are making my brain hurt. Mark Nicholas is a bit of a dick at times, I recall Andrew Flintoff getting very unhappy with him during a live interview when he had a slight dig at Geraint Jones but I fail to see how people are jumping to the conclusion that this comment is in any way racist. I recall when Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh retired he was waxing lyrical about how he thought Courtney Walsh was one of the most intelligent fast bowlers he'd seen play (watch his famous dismissal of Graeme Thorpe if you want to see genius in action). Stupid conclusions like this serve only to undermine genuinely racist comments when they arise and trivialises the whole issue. Call him what he is, a dick, don't call people racist unless they say something racist.
reddit are fucking retarded
it's a scientific fact that Samuels is retarded, as is McMeme and Warner
there's something racist about it
>>66559196
This. No one rates him anyway. Most people's most enduring memory of him is running out Lara in his last innings ever.
>>66559173
I'd choose dipshit over dick, but since Nicholas earns more than me I'll settle for your suggestion.
>>66559196

David Warner is the smartest international Cricket player in either tests or limited overs. Not only that, but David Warner is more intelligent than both Barack Obama and Thomas Edison. Do you think I'm joking? I'm not.
Warner scored a 42/50 on the Wonderlic intelligence test. A score of 20 is consistent with average intelligence. To convert a Woderlic score to IQ, double the value and add 60. This means Warner has an IQ of 144.
To add some context, this means David Warner has a higher IQ than the following individuals:
Thomas Edison
Abraham Lincoln
Thomas Jefferson
Barack Obama
Bill Clinton
Adolf Hitler
Here are the Wonderlic scores for other relevant Cricket stars:
Alastair Cook - 35
Kane Williamson - 33
Stuart Broad - 28
Virat Kohli - 28
Steve Smith - 27
Marlon Samuels - 6
>>66559281
obviously this >>66559228
there's nothing that stands out otherwise, but you can just tell that there's nothing going on in his head, just like Warner
>>66559044
Mark Nicholas is an Englishman who lives in Australia, is writing from India about a sport that the US can hardly be bothered to ignore let alone play.
Ma nigga's comment I think "lacked brains" but if you'd read the article you'd have noticed he was contrasting the Windies with other teams including New Zealand ("a savvy bunch of scrappers"), who most commentators have praised for their "smart cricket" (i.e. being tactically astute, working out strategies for different conditions, making unconventional selection moves based on thoughtful gameplans, etc). The West Indies, by and large, have not displayed much of this throughout the tournament. That's the analysis Mark Nicholas was making. Whether it's a fair analysis is debatable, but calling it racist is ludicrous.

I don't have a dog in the fight, so if pressed I hope the WIndies win because I think that would be the vest result for world cricket in general and specifically cricket in the WIndies. Success here on the back of the U/19 success.
But what I really hope for is some great cricket by both teams - resulting in a Super Over.
My best wishes to both the WIndies and Brits.

West Indies winning would hopefully encourage some change in the board and their test selection and stuff, plus they are just SO COOL
