Alonso to Aston Martin, what do you think about it?. I'm happy that we will see probably last remaining old school driver in F1 for at least 2 seasons. Move to Aston Martin looks like step back, Alpine seems to have better perspective. But such decision is understandable, Alpine offered him just one year contract.
Can't understand this move by Alonso at all, Renault (Alpine) has established itself as the fourth force in F1 and is taking a huge step backwards with the move to Aston Martin, is Stroll paying so well that Alonso wants to make another big splash? I'm curious but this change could make him regret the last years in Formula 1 and frustrate him, Alonso didn't exactly have a good hand with his 7 changes. I think Alonso will get paid really well considering his age now.Of course he is one of the best drivers available,give him a well performing car and I am sure he can win races for example with Mercedes of this year,I am sure he would have won Hungary if he started first with Mercedes at the actual level. The other reason I believe he choose Aston Martin is because the car can't be worse than this year for the next one,this year they missed completely as they tried to find a loophole in order to be the Brawn of 2009 but failed completely,for next year car I believe they will do much better and most probably this is the reason Alonso joined,he knows that Alpine cannot do much better than this so why not try something new for next year. I believe that it’s an open secret that his decision was finalised due to two reasons 1) good money and 2) and a bigger contract, and at his age I don’t think that he would have got such a good deal elsewhere hence not a bad idea. Furthermore I believe that his experience will help Aston Martin, and we should give him time before ruling that his move is a big mistake. |

I think all countries have a chance to win the Qatar World Cup, including Belgium. Statistics will only make it easier for us to predict, but that's no guarantee to be right, especially since this is a World Cup full of surprises. Even the defending champions sometimes have to fail in the group phase. We need to see their gameplay first and don't forget luck.
So far I have not targeted which national team I have chosen to see how far they can survive in the group stage. Due to the fact that currently many countries have developed rapidly to look forward to this moment. It will be very difficult when in the group stage to meet the giant national team and that becomes a barrier to being able to qualify easily. All countries have a chance, but it's not easy to get past the [group stage with an astonishing number of points. @tulusikhlas I doubt that Belgium will win, because they somehow fail to perform on the big stage despite having one of the best squad of talented player’s. Furthermore Brazil is one of my favourites to win this cup, but we cannot truly pick one team as lots will depend on how player’s perform and that’s why I feel that we should keep an eye on how the stars are performing once their league starts, and then accordingly pick our favourite team’s. |

T-20 and Test are different settings.
England did good in last 4 tests so they are riding high on confidence. With recent success in T-20, South Africa can only hope that there is some shift on momentum and hope pitches are good for red ball.
Agreed. For both the teams, they have separate squads for both T20 and test formats. And historically, England has performed better in test format when compared to any other. Countries outside the pig-4 usually perform better in the shorter formats, but they find test cricket a tough nut to crack. One reason may be the quality of 4-day county cricket in England. Anyway, I would say that England are the overwhelming favorites here. Anyway, before that two T20I matches are scheduled against Ireland. If the momentum is still with South Africa, then they should win these matches with big margins. @Sithara007 for me England are the favourites because of Brendon McCullum coaching, because now they play test matches with the clear objective to win rather than play for a draw. Further England will have the home advantage and this shall give them a psychological advantage too against South Africa, hence one can safely say that England will probably win the test series easily. |

Sinner absolutely obliterated Alcaraz after a close first set loss. Its unbelievable how easily he generates power to hit the shot and they don't even look like a risky shot when he goes down the line. Alcaraz looked absolutely clueless after the first set. He still managed to run and get to the balls with quality depth but Sinner was always a step ahead and charging forward to finish the point instead of extending the rally. 6-1,6-1 against Carlos Alcaraz, who's been dominating on clay is quite an achievement. Sinner is a potential world no. 1. You heard it here first.  I was a bit suspicious about this game but in clay i did not expect sinner to win so easily after the first set which was a war the second and third were one sided i think many players have the potential to be number one sinner and alcaraz included the current number one medvedev just doesn't seem that dominant to me it seems that we will see many players alternating for the number one spot in the future. @vennali Sinner definitely showed a champions mentality because it’s not always easy to lose the first set, and then immediately bounce back in the second set and now he should try and further improve his game. @Ratash I feel that Sinner is different then other player’s, and if he continues to improve his game then @vennali prediction about him will definitely come true in the long run. |

Former Manchester CT player Vincent Kompanie will have his first game as coach of Burnley.
Bringing in some new faces he will hope they bring the change Burnley desires after ditching
Sean Dyche last season. I see Burnley winning the championship and I am serious about it
Burnley was just insane in their first match against Huddersfield. They destroyed them in statistics and they had over 15+ shots while Huddersfield only had 2 shots,it is really wierd that the result ended just 0-1 but if they continue with this play big things can be expected from them in this season There is no doubt Burnley is having amazing start of their new season under new coach Vincent Kompnay which came from Belgium for this stunt and most chances he is going to be very aggressive in his new job because after first match surely we can expect results like this from him. Huddersfield were completely outclassed in this match and lucky they have no enough goals from their opponents as they were playing there was chance we have nearly 3 or 4 goals in this match, but just one early goal was enough for them to have full three points in first match of the new season. No doubt they can win this Championship even it's just first match, but attitude is surely amazing and aggression is also having his own power. It was a terrific goal from Maatsen on his debut for Burnley. I know that the scoreline does not suggest Burnley actually dominating against Huddersfield. But the truth is Burnley actually dominated very well against Huddersfield in this match. Apparently had a lot more chances and very well-created chances to push ahead and increase their goal difference in this match. Nevertheless, Huddersfield's goalkeeper did a good job. Even though in the end it was only one goal separating both teams, it was Burnley who were in the driving seat of the match. Never at any point in the match did it feel like Burnley might lose. It was also really enjoyable to see the passing and chemistry between the players. It felt like they knew what their teammates were trying to do. I remember that Kompany was a leader on the pitch, and he had this winning attitude which made him special hence I’m not surprised at all that he’s already transformed Burnley. Furthermore if this is the trailer of all the good things to come from Burnley then I guess that we’ll have a new favourite team to wager on, but I would like to see them repeat such performances regularly before we start wagering big amounts on them. |

Would like to see us (Liverpool) sign a top midfielder but it seems our owners are being cheap  Arsenal have spent the most so far in the Premier League, they will be hoping for CL qualification & I can see them getting it at the expense of Chelsea if I am honest. There is more and more talk of us trying to secure the Bellingham deal already for next season. If Keita stays (which looks extremely likely), our midfield looks ok for this season to me. Bellingham is a top top player - a dominant midfielder potentially for the next 10 years. He's Klopp's main wish but Dortmund does not want to sell him in the same window in which they sold Haaland. I've never seen a deal like that happen before though - so I do feel we will revise that in the winter and save our money until then. Bellingham would be an amazing signing. Our main 3 in midfield of Hendo, Fabinho & Thiago is as good (as a combination) as anything else in Europe. It’s just that when one or two of them pick up injuries which seems to happen a lot, our other midfielders aren’t up to much imo. We need to either make a massive statement & like you say, sign Bellingham or somebody like Barella or pray Elliot or Carvalho end up superstars. I just don’t have much confidence beyond Hendo, Thiago & Fab. Who am I to question Klopp though. @LFC_Bitcoin Bellingham will be chased by all the clubs next season, and if Real Madrid or Bayern too jump in then Liverpool won’t find it easy to buy him. Also Arsenal have indeed brought quality player’s and now I’m waiting to see how Arteta gets them to perform, because if Arsenal finish outside the top 4 then this season will be dubbed a failure for them. |

Time really flies! I don't think they will do a pre monthly bonus as we just got our monthy bonus but would be a nice surprise. I am hoping for some more good sport promotions such as double or treble winnings as it has been a while before they last offered this.
Recently we received a post-monthly bonus from Stake. They started their birthday celebration with a pre monthly bonus in the previous year and it had ended with the monthly bonus. Maybe they have made same plan for this year too. However, there will be many other bonuses and promotions in between. The new season of premier league will start on the first week of next month. We may see those kind of double winning or risk free bet promo at the moment. Stake is generous if nothing else. They will surely do a lot from here to next month, all of august will be filled with amazing shiny stuff. They always knew that, the path to get a lot of gamblers would be to give them rewards for being loyal, they knew that the first day they started. Primedice, even on very early days, had leveling where you would get more faucet earning when you were higher level. Meaning, from the very first day, to today, they knew that the more you gamble here, the more you earn here, and that means people will prefer here. It's not just about rakeback/cashback type of stuff, it's about gifts, because gifts say something that cashback doesn't say, it is "we appreciate you being here with us" and that's what they will do in august, and in September and anytime after that. I don’t think that we should focus on the bonuses any longer, because the premier league is back in a week’s time, and there is a solid opportunity to make money from any Stake promotions that come our way. Lastly it’s my personal belief that City shall win most of their games, and wagering against Liverpool and Chelsea may not be a bad idea at least for the initial game’s, so study these teams form cause with good odds and good promotions one can earn a lot during this new season. (*disclaimer* these are my personal opinions, and in gambling nothing is guaranteed so gamble responsibly if you wish too.) |

I just got 5150 tickets off one day of spins, fingers crossed though I think its more like 50k that is worth expecting anything to happen. Anyway I noticed the BTC price is entering into the scenario I had envisioned might possibly occur (break above 50 day average, air pocket move) It might fall off the rails before month end so Im celebrating the idea of a boom period now :p close is Sunday price, end of week bar  BTC typically has periods it can burst upwards. I'm hoping we have at least lit the touchpaper on that one even if it dont exactly occur at least Im roughly right, I bet towards 30k area some. Hope so, this week could have been peak fear as FED news has passed we might see strong dollar decline enough to help BTC beat its gloom. I have had more than 7k lottery tickets yet I won nothing. But people have won with just 3 tickets too so I wish you all the best. Hope you win. Bitcoin has indeed showed some good signs of recovery and I wish the spike upwards keep getting longer. I have placed my bet on ETH to stay around 1500 to 1750 range by the end of the month and I see that happening. 18 I will tell you is that since you have attempted to engage into such lottery I think that you have to check well in strategies other people use to win the lottery that you don't know because I believe that theirs is information you supposed to have that you need to find the possible way to get so that you can be able to win such a lottery you cannot tell me that you have tried almost seven times and All fears that means there is certain information you are lacking I don’t believe that there’s any fix criteria for winning with the lottery tickets, because you could win it with single digits, few hundreds or even not win with those 5k tickets. Furthermore BTC prices can definitely rise from these levels, because all the short term holders have probably exited the market and now only holders remain hence there’s a good chance that we may see further gains. |

My most concern now is if Chelsea will not slide into the relegation zone in the seasons ahead, because with the current happening around the club it looks like no significant attempts were made to revive the club and the club's performance in the last season was nothing to write home about. I don't understand what is happening with the club because not much has been heard from Chelsea in the current transfer market, other clubs are already signing big players and the premier league is about to start. I think they know they are not a contender this season. They may aim at top four which is still very hard to finish for Chelsea. This season Manchester City is better, Arsenal is better, Liverpool is again a contender, there is also Tottenham and Manchester United so Chelsea may not see top places. They may save some money and be prepared for next season for the championship. It's impossible for them to win anything this year. It is not possible for Chelsea to win trophies this season because their squad are not very strong like some of the club we have. Arsenal have really in improved looking from their game in the preseason match , if time is not taking Arsenal may even take over the position of Liverpool in the next season. I'm not sure Liverpool will be strong like in the last season. The new season will be more competitive, teams like arsenal will be tough to challenge Manchester city and Liverpool. I feel that Chelsea new owner’s arrival hasn’t helped them, because first they allowed Rudiger to leave and then sent Lukaku out on loan and none of their main transfer targets have arrived, hence Tuchel will be very lucky if he can get this team to secure one of the top 4 spots. Furthermore I thought that Tottenham are better equipped to beat Liverpool for the second spot, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Liverpool ended on the 4th spot too. |

Indeed Barcelona look to have improved significantly in their defense and midfield, but don't forget that Real Madrid have a proven midfield creator who has led them to success. Casemiro, Modric and Kroos are undisputed midfield generals. It is a weapon for Real Madrid, and up front there are Benzema and Vinicius ready to finish the attack. I think Real Madrid is still more effective than Barcelona for now.
Effectively it is still superior to Real Madrid for now, but Barcelona has improved sharply when it has managed to recruit some very good new players at this time and I am sure that Barcelona also has strengths that are not much different from Real Madrid. Although there are still many people who are favorites for Real Madrid to win in La Liga next season. I feel that we should not get too excited for Barcelona just yet, because they don’t have the funds necessary to register the new player’s they have signed, and unless they sell some player’s or all their new signings take massive pay cuts they can’t use these player’s. Lastly while Real Madrid is strong I expected them to further strengthen during this transfer window, but they haven’t made any big purchases and I wonder if it’ll harm them as the season progresses. |

Seria A would be quite interesting to watch their league games after tough clubs bringing in sharp players. AC Milan won the scudetto last summer but they might be quite far from the trophy this new season because other teams won't be reluctant in games. They've learnt their lesson especially Inter Milan that were one step of becoming the champion but failed after several draws. I'm hoping for Juventus to bounced back to their best form this new season, Allegri needs to keep his boys active for the new season.
You're right, this Serie A season will be more interesting than last season. Because the big teams have prepared themselves well, we can see from their activities in the transfer window. Especially for Juventus, they even have 3 new players (Federico Chiesa, Paul Pogba and Bremer). While at Inter, they will appear with 3 new top players (Andre Onana, Romelu Lukaku and Henrikh Mkhtaryan). Serie A will start soon, I can't wait to see how the standings are at the start of the season. I don’t think that Pogba will be able to help Juventus, because he’s out injured and now Juventus will have to search for his replacement. Also Roma should end up in the 3rd or 4th spot this season, because by signing Dybala they have shown that they’ll be keen to challenge for that champions league spot, and if Mourinho can spring a surprise and win the title then it’ll be really massive, but chances of that happening are slim. |

the bundesliga is a very strange league, just like the french league. small teams have conformed themselves to being small teams. they don't want to win the bundesliga and champions league, it seems that the purpose of small team is to have great players and then sell them and the club takes the money and eats. honestly i don't see what the point of doing this, i know money is something very good and important, but don't they feel ashamed of all the years they just play to stay in the bundesliga without winning at least the bundesliga? they don't want to be number 1? of being able to win the champions league? Is strange how these small teams behave
There is a good point in what you said. Smaller teams don't compete harder against the biggest teams in this league for example. Even Dortmund are considered to be one of these biggest teams but they also don't aim to win the league title at the end of the day. In a league like this, it is like there is no way for seeing a different champion than Bayern Munich. This just lowers the quality of a league imo and makes it quite boring. I don't think that this will change in the future easily for leagues like this one. @Slow Death while I agree with all you said I feel that times are changing, because Dortmund made sure that Bayern didn’t get Halland and on top of that they have lost Lewandowski too. Lastly if Dortmund or other teams do not take advantage of Lewandowski absence then this league will become extremely boring, hence I’m hoping that a new team will win the title by the time this season ends. |

One more thing, he was able to become the top goalscorer at Manchester United in the midst of their very disappointing performance. I don't want to compare with other players if they face the same situation as Ronaldo had at Manchester United last season. But in my opinion it is enough to prove that his time is not over, he still has high ambitions to become a destroyer of the opponent's defense.
So, where is Ronaldo now? In this transfer market, he is the best at keeping the hype around him. I see there are already rumors that Ronaldo will move to Atlético Madrid, but Cerezo immediately reacted to this and replied that this was impossible. In the end, everything will be resolved so that Ronaldo will return to Manchester United, and he will comment on all these rumors as gossip that had nothing to do with reality. And he was just absent for family reasons, as he initially stated. I still consider the Ronaldo and Atletico rumors a joke to this day. As for him now, it is reported that he has returned to Manchester with his agent to discuss his future but there has been no further confirmation on this and it is certain that speculation about his departure will continue in the days or weeks before the transfer window ends. I have said it right from the start that Ronaldo doesn’t want to take a pay cut, and it’s evidently clear that no champions league club wants him therefore I feel that Manchester United should not budge. Lastly even if he leaves then too we’ll be better, but if he stays then maybe Ten Hag will have to make changes cause he can’t press like Ten Hag wants. |

Kasper Schmeichel has agreed to join Nice and his move is subject to Leicester finding a replacement of the goalkeeper. Schema hel is on his last year of contract, so the move isnt as unexpected as it might seem on the surface. He's a club legend at Leicester and has spoken earlier that he'd like to play in the Champions League again before he retires. Well, Nice ain't the club for that but I guess he's settle for now.
I believe that Kasper was a great goalkeeper, the fact that he would move to Nice and not stay in premier league is a worrying thing, no idea what the reason is but I have seen him play and I think it would be something that has a bit of politics behind it. Maybe he just wanted to leave, or maybe the team didn't agree with him and they wanted revenge, I really do not know the ulterior motive but I know for a fact that it would take a long time before we could make sense out of it. Dude was a goalkeeper that could defend one of the bigger clubs, let alone go to a worse one, and somehow there is something going on to take him to a team a level below what he was playing so far. @lixer that’s an excellent transfer for Nice, because Schmeichel can easily perform for at least two year’s at the minimum, and he should adjust well too as the Ligue 1 as it isn’t as competitive as the Premier League. Furthermore unless the player or the club reveals as to what went wrong we can only assume about his situation, and my personal guess would be that they didn’t want to offer him a new contract and that’s why he decided to leave, and what about others what are your guesses?. |

Max is definitely the champion after this race, there wasn't a doubt in my mind but there were some in some people, but everyone should agree after such a day. In the end we are talking about Ferrari as a competition and we all know Ferrari is a shitty team these days. They have been like this for a long time.
Charles didn't crash because of any team mistakes I think, but at the end of the day he is still not at fault neither, it is just racing and sometimes this happens. So, we could end up focusing on the next races. Red Bull and Max will be the winners, but just because we know the winner doesn't mean we can't watch the season. Lewis won so many and with ease, but we still watched right?
100% correct and this is coming from a Ferrari fan. Personally, I do think that even if Charles won this race , Max would still have been the champ by the end of the year. Why ? Because he is already in that mental state of a champ and you can see this in his race when he makes no mistakes during the race and he keeps calm and all that by just the age of 24. Crazy , right ? Well , that's what happens when you're fighting in top for multiple years , you become so adapt with pressure and what you need to win a champ , that you won't make any mistakes and that's why you win races sometimes. We are in another race week now right before the summer break. This race is going to be very important mentally for Verstappen and Leclerc both. Because in case one of them captures a significant advantage against the other, that driver is going to have a more satisfying ending in the first half of the season. Leclerc desperately needs to win the Hungarian GP this weekend. After that very unfortunate crash the gap with Verstappen has been opened too much. He needs to win as many races as possible to still have a chance for the championship.
While I agree with you from the past races we have seen there is no real big difference between the cars as even Ocon with Alpine has won this race with the right circumstances that favored him a couple of years ago.This means that the upcoming race will be a fierce full battle and most probably if only one of the two drivers have a reliability or some other problem can make the other one to get a significant advantage over the other,mostly Leclerc should win this race otherwise if Verstappen wins this I think the title war ends here. @boltz it’s another disappointing season so far from Ferrari as I personally had expected them to fight hard for the title, but I guess that now we can only hope for a miracle other wise this season too will end like the past few seasons i.e. Ferrari failing to win again. @swogerino I strongly feel that mentally Max is stronger than Leclerc and that’s why he’ll defeat him again during the upcoming race, and if that happens then I doubt that Leclerc will be able to bounce back from this latest setback. |

Virat Kohli must feel like he is downgrading himself if he plays for domestic seasons right now. I think the main reason why he is not willing to do that is because of his ego. He has not performed well for a long time and we know even before his marriage they had a lot of drama simmering on between themselves. And that has also had some impact on his professional career but obviously, that was not worth much notice. But right now Virat Kohli seems to be so busy with his personal life that he doesn't seem to be giving enough time to his professional career. And this is the result of that.
If he is that busy with his personal life, then he should take some time off and stay with his family, right? If he thinks that playing domestic cricket will result in a downgrade, then I can't help. Legendary players such as Sachin Tendulkar and Steve Smith have played domestic cricket frequently despite their national commitments. Anyway, no one will force Virat to play domestic matches. If he don't want to play, then he don't need to. The decision by BCCI to allow family members to travel with the national team squad for overseas tours need to be revised. I guess that is causing a lot of issues and resulting in lack of focus. @Sithara007 I’m waiting to see will Rohit and Dravid take the bold call of dropping Kohli, because if he’s choosing to avoid domestic cricket to get better then he should definitely be dropped. Furthermore dropping him temporarily could be the key to remind him why he needs to perform, and maybe then he’ll start performing again but if he yet fails then the selectors will have to consider about permanently dropping him. |

Entertainment like this should not be neglected but I think this would have been a lot more fun to create if France was able to win the match. I am sure that would have made this record a lot more memorable than what it is now. But it is also true that most of the mainstream media almost like avoided this news. Probably they thought it wasn't appropriate to spread the news because this happened in a small match. Well, this is quite small when we compare it with the big games.
Whether it is a small team or a big team we should encourage everyone after a good game. This motivation improve a player enough to play in major events which not only enhances his personal reputation but also brings welfare to his country and has a positive effect on cricket. Everyone should expose any success for the spreading of cricket. In Europe where Soccer, Rugby and Basketball are dominant games no one have any good information about this cricket just because of this we can say too many players from subcontinent in their national cricket teams so with this all western media is not HI lightening about this record It's not strange because it's not in their good copies even it's a world record and surely need some good encouragement for this young player. With this all we also know Europeans have some personal issues as well as most of the English media never hi light French youths on their channels these things also have their impact and here in subcontinent it's a big news, but sadly we have no updates about this all as they have to be. @SirLancelot the media will only highlight what’s clickbait or sensational news, and in this case he achieved this feat in a sport that many Europeans won’t care, hence they decided against running this story. However if he continues his fine form them I’m sure that he can turn up on the radar of one of the IPL teams, and then the media will be forced to cover his achievements. |

There is definitely a difference when it comes to playing for club and country. Not that they are unprofessional but if they are at the end of their careers surely they are more willing to do more for their country. Moreover, this is likely to be the last World Cup for several star players, one of which is Messi.
Apart from all that, we will watch the game of the players who are now old. It's very sad.
I have noticed this pattern. During the younger years, players tend to give more importance to their club side. But during the later years, they give more preference to national duty. Messi for his part have never been a part of the world cup winning team and that is why he want Argentina to lift the trophy this time. The same can be said about Ronaldo as well. And this is going to be the last chance for both these players. No matter how many competitions they win for their club side, none of that can match the world cup win. I don't agree with you, because I think footballers will do everything in their power to play both for the club and for the national team, the reason many players are playing well in the league is not because of the salary they get from the club, but many of them continue to perform well in order can to join the national team, maybe the club does provide all the needs needed by the players but the pride and patriotism to play for the country cannot be measured by money and I think if there are players who are able to contribute greatly to bringing their country to world cup champions then it will be become the greatest pride in his football career later better than the achievement of the trophy he got while playing at the club. I don’t know which particular player’s made you think that, because each and every player I know gives their 100% while playing in important international matches. Furthermore look at Bale who was playing at Real Madrid, but he yet decided to prioritise Wales over the club and that shows how much player’s love playing for their countries. |

Sad to see that West Indies is unable to win against a third-string or fourth-string Indian side, and that too at home. Their batting was more or less OK, as the West Indian batsmen are able to put up totals of more than 300 on board. But the bowlers have leaked runs. Alzarri Joseph was the only West Indian bowler who looked as if he was capable of troubling the Indian batsmen. Others, such as Romario Shepherd and Kyle Mayers were treated with disdain. And I don't even want to comment about their spinners. Akeal Hosein went for 8 runs per over.
After watching second ODI and their fifth consecutive defeat now feeling their bowling is completely crap they need some revolutionary changes in this department if they want to do some positive in future because there were no depth in this all and their quality spinner was also completely helpless and have no control and quality for having some good result. Even their batting is doing much better than last series against Bangladesh where they were completely outclassed against bowling attack of Bangladesh but now in this series their bowling attack is down-and-out Joseph is better but alone he can't bring positive results for his team he also needs some help from other end as well for having better game and end. I’m equally baffled as to why WI are performing so poorly especially in home conditions, and I strongly feel that the WI management should immediately introspect and ring in necessary changes that can help the team improve. Bapu (Axar Patel) is turning out to be really good bat in the down the order. From now on i don't think selectors are going to drop him from White ball squad.
Yeah. He is a great talent and is proving to be one of the best all-rounders in the Indian squad these days along with Thakur. I am hoping to see another interesting game of cricket and looking at the effort & performance of the West Indies team, they also deserve a win, don't they?
They do deserve a win, but the morale is probably low in their camp right now due to two close calls in a row which could help India in a big way. Also, why isn't a world-class bowler like Narine in the squad? @JSRAW I always felt that he was just a squad player, but now I feel that he definitely deserves to be in the playing 11 because he seems to be revitalised and having an extra all rounder will definitely help team India. |
