Hi really good topic what with the Series with the Windies about to start but the highlight must be the Aussies later on in the Season, I must admit that I know very little about disabled Cricket (My apologies) I have heard of Blind Cricket from several interviews on Test Match Special on Radio 4 (and also the Primary Club of course)
Is there a Website where I could get further info?
I follow Hampshire CC and go back to the days when Barry Richards and Gordon Greenidge used to open for them and the fearsome Malcolm Marshall ( so sad about him) as their main bowler. Prehaps this is before your time(lol).
Although I support England I have to admit my first Cricket hero was Clive Lloyd when he played for Lancashire ( well before he went on to perform so magnificently with the West Indies) I well understand your admiration for Tendukar.He is a fine Batsman,and India have a really good team at the moment . they seem to blend well together
I am however a little fearful of Englands chances this season, ah well time will tell
Believe itor not im Scottish and played cricket(locally) for many years. All i can say is "c,mon the Essex"
On the 1st day at Lord's England are 289/7 off 90 overs with Ravi Bopara on 118 not out.
thanks to channel 4 losing the cricket rights i have lost all interest in the sport
Fortunately for England today,the West Indies couldn't even catch Swine Flu!
Quality knock from Ravi though,still in 20/20 mode!

England were bowled out for 377 with Ravi Bopara scored 143 and Graeme Swann got a useful 63 not out and West Indies are 99/4 at tea.
West Indies are all out for 152 what a debut for Graham Onions he took 5 wickets for 38 runs in 9.3 overs and the West Indies have followed on and the latest score is 16/1 off 6 overs with skipper Chris Gayle dismissed.

Same with me. I was only ever interested in Test cricket which I followed for many years until it stopped being transmitted live on BBC2 then Channel4 a few years ago.
