Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Sunil Gupta discuss what the future could hold for West Indies cricket after the board announced a series of cost-cutting measures.
International players face a 25% cut in retainer fees, and the men’s Super50 and women’s T20 Blaze competitions have been suspended. Journalist and commentator Fazeer Mohammed tells Stumped the problems have been years in the making.
The team also debate if India’s Virat Kohli is the best men’s white ball batter of all time? He recently extended his record of ODI centuries to 55 and is the second player, after Sachin Tendulkar, to score 15’000 runs in 50 over cricket but did it quicker then the little master.
Plus, there have been hundreds of centuries scored at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground, but earlier this week it witnessed a very different kind of 100. The outfield was used for a challenge to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s and to shine a spotlight on dementia by walking 100 laps. It was the idea of ECB Chair and ICC Board member Richard Thompson whose dad died from the condition. Alison caught up with him as they did the challenge.
