We lasted till day 4 (without our 2nd and 3rd best batsman + a bowler short for half the innings and batting with 10 men in both innings) in South Africa the world #1.

Last time I checked we couldn't make it past 3 days when we were in India
.

Lol.

What the Frankfurt! smile

You good. You actually responded to that ? I read that and thought about responding but I figured that if Andu could come up with that drivel then he not worth a response. He wouldn't understand anyway.

This Andy fella is a real idiot

Even more impressive is that this team did not do "a lap of honor", while losing to the #1 ranked test team, like I recall a previous West Indies team doing while being embarrassed by an under-strength Pakistan!! big grin big grin

Maybe if they fought for even half a session they could have considered a lap of honour

"Fought" like we did when we recently lost to Bangladesh,yes Bangladesh!-the first full-strength West Indies team to ever suffer such an ignominy? rolleyes

Lest we forget, this is a weakened team that is missing Bravo and Gayle-under whose leadership the West Indies won its only away test against SA, the last time West Indies toured that country.

No amount of 'fight' is that going to make this current team, with one world class player, Shiv, competitive with the #1 ranked team in the world, playing at home.

Did you or did you not make the above quotes? If so it serves as notice that you think the team is moving in the right direction under your captain Ramdin. smile

Twas a weakened Team that lost in NZD but that did not stop you all from blaming the Captain. HA HA HA!

What "weakened team" ?

Weren't you and your ilk saying that the West Indies 'star team'-comprising marginal players-was a better one without those whom you dismissed & lambasted as "PDs" ("we don't need any stars"), and who formerly comprised the "team of stars"rolleyes

Tell me, which other full-strength West Indies team has ever lost any series-Test,ODI or T20-to the lowly Bangladesh before the recent fiasco?

Thankfully, we now at least have a credible captain who is the best at his position in the West Indies and whose place in the team is not questioned by anyone. Most important, we also have a captain who is capable of leading by example is is not an international laughing stock! big grin

Exactly! So now we have a well balanced team that was elected on merit we should be World beaters. HA HA HA!

The team that went to RSA had Tino Best and Shannon Angel Gabriel as its front line Bowlers. Our best Bowler Roach was injured. At least then we showed some fight which i cannot say for this team selected on merit. But like Andy say that does not matter once we get to the 4th day. smile smile

In reply to sudden

Are you comparing a one-off World Cup upset with an ODI series loss? rolleyes

Didn't West Indies still advance after being upset by Kenya?

Upsets are a part of sport. When Bangladesh recently beat West Indies in that ODI series it was not an upset but merely par for the course!!

The same West Indies team that was bowled out by England for 47 went on to score more than 400 runs in the 4th innings of a test to beat Australia, the then #1 ranked test team. See the difference?

I forgot that one! LOL

That was such an idiotic pronouncement that was only rivaled for level of idiocy by Captain Sammy also challenging India to 'play better' and subsequently having his ass handed to him! LOL

In reply to jacksprat


Bangladesh drew with SL in SL after that series and then beat NZ at home in a followup series.

Both those teams are higher ranked than WI.

Ramdin is pretty much gone.

He does not appear to have the strength of character or the support of neither the Board or a substantial group of the players, none of which is his fault per se.

Another victim of WI cricket politics.

His presser after the first test was pretty bad too.

 
jacksprat 2014-12-20 19:24:35 

In reply to Commie
I hold no brief for Ramdin or any other captain.

Frank Worrell could not consistently win with any West Indies team picked from this current crop. What I take issue with is people saying that if this or that person-usually one's compatriot-were the captain, or included in the team, West Indies would be automatically transformed into a winning team.

 
Commie 2014-12-20 19:31:22 

In reply to jacksprat

Understood.

Its a silly thread in that context. I have said this from since last year. Ramdin has been used by this Admin to the point of abuse. And the TTCB have been strangely complicit.

My pick would have been Edwards but he picked the wrong time to both shit up his playing career and his relationship with his local board. Edwards is a conscious young man with a sense of pride.

They should have just left the test team with Sammy till the WC. Less problems to transition when someone of quality emerges. We were always going to lose against India and SA anyway.

Why do you go around and keep spreading lies?
I've seen posters correct this claim many times in the last couple of years but here you are?

It was RICHIE RICHARDSON who captained WI to that defeat vs Kenya not Brian Lara.

You know one time might not be enough let me repeat a few times, hopefully it sticks.

A more balanced side picked on merit now doing worse than the unbalanced side. Oh well.


We lasted till day 4 (without our 2nd and 3rd best batsman + a bowler short for half the innings and batting with 10 men in both innings) in South Africa the world #1.
Last time I checked we couldn't make it past 3 days when we were in India.

FFS, when you guys doing this atleast put some forking thought into it nah, if you did then you'd know the above and would fork yuhself up so plus you wouldn't be asking some bullshit question about some man waking up when its evening time and he was playing cricket.

The game lasted 243 overs in total. If there was no rain interruption the game was over during the third day between lunch and tea.. lol lol lol lol

They fcuking lasted 2.5 days.. That is all.

 
Dukes 2014-12-22 09:47:19 

In reply to voiceofreason

Lasting until day 4 is a function of winning the toss and inserting the opposition.
They bat for almost 2 days hence your chance of getting into day 4 are significantly increased as opposed to you batting first.
The West Indies batted a total of 102.5 overs in their 2 innings while scoring 332 runs.South Africa needed 89 overs to get to 336 runs when they batted.In other words the match theoretically could have been over after 191 overs which is before lunch on day 3!!!!!!!

Dukes with all due respect that is one load ah bullshit.
Batting first or second match could've lasted the same.
WI could bat first made 210, SA replies with 550 and then WI bowled out for 130.
