Indian cricket attitude

Now that the series is over, I feel like we should avoid inviting the Indian team to the Caribbean for a while. It’s board, it’s captains, it’s prominent players, it’s fans, have all been so rude, condescending, and plainly offensive i during the tour. You have Hardik making comments, that while valid, did not warrant him saying it in such a public forum. You have Ashwin who disparaged the facilities in Barbados. You have their media personalities calling for the West Indies to be banded from tests or be disbanded. To the condescending remarks from their fans and former players. I’ve never felt a team be so openly disrespectful and annoyed with having to tour here. If they don’t want to come let them be. It’s a shame how our players contributed so much to growing the IPL and they can be so rude to us in return.

Australia have lost top spot in the men's ODI team rankings less than five weeks out from the World Cup.

Viv Richaeds was knighted for his contributions to cricket in 1999. In 2000 he was voted one of Wisden's five Cricketers of the Century by a 100-member panel of experts and in 2002 the almanack judged that he had played the best One Day International innings of all time. In December 2002, he was chosen by Wisden as the greatest One Day International batsman who had played to that date and as the third greatest Test cricket batter. In 2009, Richards was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.[

The greatest honor for Brian Lara in cricket, is that he can be compared with the greatest, Sir Vivian Richards.

Andrew Flintoff has made his first public appearance in nine months after joining England's backroom staff in an unofficial, unpaid role for their four-match ODI series against New Zealand.
Flintoff is recovering from serious injuries sustained while filming for the BBC show Top Gear in December. He was airlifted to hospital after crashing a car at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome, when he broke ribs and suffered facial and jaw injuries.
He is close friends with Rob Key, the managing director of England men's cricket, and has gradually returned to the public eye this summer, attending several days of the Ashes series as a spectator, although on those occasions he sought to shield the extent of his injuries from the cameras.
