False ! No Contracted W.I. player in the IPL ...

Never mind ...... DownUnder coming fih ayou soon !!!

and Australia Fan 

TEST match cricket is playing :


Contracted for TEST Cricket .....**phew** !


Selection for central retainer contracts was done on the basis of player performance in the various formats :

with Test cricket being the premier format followed by One-day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals.


Christopher Gayle and Sunil Narine were also offered annual retainer contracts, but they declined.

I would remain with the same lineup with the exception of Hope. Maybe give Hope a match and see how he plays and if he is not up to it then get a replacement.

[size=10pt]The kid has a lot of technical deficiencies.  The most glaring was his inability to play on the front foot.[/size]

You can't judge someone based on two games. Viv failed big in his first two games. Dwayne Smith was a star after 2 games.

Hope was correct to play off the back-foot (to almost every ball, he took a step back). One of the coaches must have told him the Brits would try to bounce him out or bowl short. I think he obeyed the coaches so closely that the fuller yorker - the ball that got him - shocked him.
