an avalanche of words, some pretty, within the rules of language use, nothing appears wrong with the spelling.. yet they hide and dance away from relevance.

I never saw a frog bowl fast yet, or spin a ball..or a clam outside its feeding position be anything but a chowder in the
human realm.

upside here if clams played test cricket they would need to be fit to focus on five days of twists and turns in a test match..they would have to have had lots of experience watching, learning, developing, to participate effectively on all levels of life a test match in progress touches

on the other hand a fresh chowder at lunch time aint bad

Andy said west indian players are now lazy, wont do the hard long work and development of focus to become good players.  deh have a lot of company from fan, commentators and posters on cricket boards.  attention deficit apparently touches everyone these days

a seafood soup anyone...clam chowder ::confused::

anyway what is dinosaur in this particular usage..dat something is old, passe'  extinct ::confused::

Dino is still here..not gorne anywhere!  he is not big anymore, a terror only to himself.  myriad forms of lizard and birds still around, all laying eggs. as big as he was Dino laid eggs,,even the destructive spectre of the ages T Rex.

Test cricket may morph?  cricket has..always did..test cricket too.  it can again but the minders want it dead...the neo liberals who see money in everything.  everything is for maximum sale/profit, including the human body. anyone who blueprints any part there-off, or the whole, can patent the human body

even sh!t is potentially patentable...all kinds of sh!t including human.

max money is the way to go..like eminent domain in america..anywhere for that matter. you cant have a peaceful neighborhood, people living, with homes merely drawing property taxes..when a developer can put a disneyland there or shopping mall or casino and bring in more money.....indeed. 

why shud we play test cricket when theoretically we can generate tons and tons more cash, if we make a global major league baseball out of T20..reduce attention span even further, make people even more stupid, all the better to control them elsewhere...but get there before the American majors of baseball and basketball do so... and shut out T20 in the process.

''time aint on our side boys" I imagine is a refrain in the Tri-partite, neo liberal exploitation that is now the ICC.  "we got to move fas' or suck sal'!"

anybody have anything to patent...a human body part or something ::confused::

The fact is that test cricket is no longer attractive to most youngsters in the region especially with the emergence of t20 cricket and the success that West Indies has had in that format. The big money to be earned in t20 leagues is also another attraction that will help to cement test cricket's fate in the region.

THE 'PROGRESS' OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE RESULTED IN THE EUROPEAN DARK AGES..AS THE OLIGARCHS REFUSED TO WRITE OFF THE DEBTS OF A FRESH START COULD BE MADE..THE FIST TIME IN HISTORY THAT HAD HAPPENED.

THE OLIGARCHS STOPPED THE POLITICIANS KEPT, THE THE DEBTS IN PLACE THAT RESULTED IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE EMPIRE AND ITS RESOURCES..AGRICULTURAL IN PARTICULAR WERE RAZED TO THE GROUND....

THERE WAS A RENAISSANCE SEVERAL HUNDREDS YEARS LATER..MOSTLY DUE TO THE WORK OF THE ARABS KEEPING HUMAN PROGRESS SAFE TO RE EMERGE LATER ON IN EUROPEAN PROGRESS

THE ROMAN EMPIRE DID NOT PRODUCE MUD HUTS BUT MUCH WORSE.  WHERE WOULD BE WITHOUT THE SAND NHIGGERS ::confused::

An oasis, a pool with some fat grapes and dates anyone ::confused::

of course we have the lagacy of the Roman empire with us today..the same neo liberal one that is killing test cricket and making commodities out of everything, including the human body alive or dead

again we have oligarchs who have enslaved everyone by financial debt, bled all the economies dry of liquidity, imposed austerity and is in the process of razing the entire planet this time..not just the empire of the Romans. there is environmental destruction everywhere, touch and go with the species from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean from Fukushima and spreading outward

yet only more of the same is on the oligarch drawing boards

by the time we finally get rid of the legacy of Rome we will be thankful for mud huts and a lil clean water to drink!

MORE T20 ANYONE ::confused:: 
YOU CAN HAVE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE..ONLY 20 DOLLARS A DAY IN OZ, 10 QUID A DAY IN THE ENGLISH ISLES, 15 THOUSAND IN GUYANA, 1 MILLION JAMAICAN DOLLARS IN KINGSTON, 1000 AT KENSINGTON AND 6 THOUSANDS IN TRINIDAD. 

WE WILL TELL YOU SOON HOW MUCH IN LANKA, ZIM, RSA AND ELSEWHERE

SITTING 5 DAYS IN THE SUN IS THAT KIND OF  SYMBIOTIC, POSITIVE, PARTICIPATORY PROCESS THAT ENDS IN INTELLIGENCE, ADVANTAGE, AN ADVANCE...

TEST CRICKET HAS OFTEN BEEN EQUATED WITH THE GREEK POPULAR DEMOCRACY SITTING FOR DAYS IN THE SUNSHINE, TAKING PART IN AND JUDGING THE PLAYS OF THE PLAY WRITERS IN A POPULAR EXERCISE IN WHICH THE POPULAR JUDGEMENT WAS FINAL

SITING AT A TEST MATCH MATCH IS NOT A SILENT DEAD WATCHING ACTIVITY BUT A FULLY PARTICIPATORY PROCESS THAT DEMANDS THOUGHT AND EMOTIONAL REACTION OF THE WATCHERS IN MEASURE TO THE PROCESS WORKING OUT ON THE FIELD.
TEST CRICKET CARRIES WITH IT CONNOTATIONS OF ALL THAT IS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF GLOBAL LIFE AS IT HAS EVOLVED TO NOW..RACE AND RACISM, NATIONALISM, SOCIAL EQUALITY AND THE LACK OF IT AND WHY ETC.  CRICKET IS LIFE AND TEST CRICKET AS THE HIGHEST FORM OF THE GAME IS EXPRESSIVE OF ALL THAT IS POSITIVELY HUMAN ..AND THE HUMAN REALITY

that test cricket may not be loved currently is a human loss, the result of social conditioning and human de-evolution for the purpose of social control of the majority by the minority at the top

Anyone learn yet what is Bokanovsky process ::confused::  who wud like to be a product of it..Bokanovsky ::confused::  like it or not we are part of something like it.  how else can we come to see what is good for us, that which brought us here, made us develop, expanded our minds... as bad for us now  ::confused::

if it was bad for us how did we get here after consuming so much of it ::confused:  surely we wud be dead by now having consumed 100+ years of test cricket, to suddenly realized that it is deadening, killing, making us sick.  we should not be able to move far less still be thinking and arguing on a message board.

but the question is not less test cricket..or even more..but how long given whatever we going through that makes us see wrong as right..will we be able to do that that at all.. see anything at all save what we are told is there in front of our faces soon enuff

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.
