West Indian cricket really isn't what it used to be.  Makes me a bit sad.  Is anyone going to see Fire in Babylon in Civic Square this Saturday night?

Was thinking the same thing myself while the highlights were on tonight. I remember going to the Basin in '87(?) to see that great Windies team. They were so swaggeringly confident and brilliant. We did well to draw the test series but what an excruciating experience watching us chase about 35 to win the third test and losing six wickets in the process. Their fast bowlers were like demons from hell that day.

Fire in Babylon is a good film. Even my wife who hates cricket really enjoyed it!
