Chairman of selectors Clive Lloyd believes India are formidable opponents but says a disciplined West Indies effort can see the reigning World champions beaten, when the two teams meet at the WACA Ground here Friday.

“The point is that we have a good bowling attack, good batsmen, and a good all-round side,” Lloyd said here Monday.

WI can score 1,000 runs in an innings.
WI can bowl out India in 2 overs.
WI can be a profitable ebtrtprise.
WI can be run by a competent board.

But alas, none of these things are on the horizon.

He is correct...if Windies break into the locker room of the Indians and put itching powder in their socks, for example...the Indians will get upset.

West Indies’ recent record against India does not make for good reading. They have lost their last four series and have suffered defeats in 13 of their last 20 meetings.

You see what happens when you put octogenarians in positions of power? It leads to poor decision making, poor choices,lack of clarity in speech & thought.

 
Halliwell 2015-03-03 00:11:22 

We can upset them by not showing up to this match also

This comment proves that Lloyd is delusional and definitely suffering from dementia.

Why not?


He is going to unleash wonder bowler Sheldon Cotterel(and some unnamed U19 bowler) on the Indians.

Remember the legend Clive Lloyd can do no wrong! He captained the great West Indies team!

Did you actually expect him, as head of selectors, speaking to the world, to say the team has no chance and is crap ?

I beginning to got my doubts bout you........anyhow....one time India would've helped us out, that WAS the kind of relationship the two boards enjoyed, but in came The Mafia and fucked up everything royally, the geriatric now come and running he mout.......and you are asking what he as head of selectors speaking to the world is expected to say?.....the whole world laughing at he, can't you see, he should tek he blanket and chair and look fuh a comfortable place and watch the cricket and shut he dotish skunt.......saw him on my TV last night looking as pathetic as ever..........

You always worrying beyond the moment.

The current situ is that Lloyd will be thrown to the wolves if this WC goes on spiralling downwards, whether Cameron or Garner wins. He picked this team, he is with them, and if they dont go on to at least the QF, he has a target on his forehead.

So enjoy your last blasts at Lloyd.

The 'no comment' option is one that is available yet rarely used by many of those involved with West Indies cricket.

Or how about a pro forma, "We plan to put in a spirited performance and give a good account of ourselves" ?

When the Chief Selector starts talking about how 'great' our bowling is-despite the glaring evidence to the contrary-he comes across as either disingenuous or out of touch!,

The man is right; he did say with Discipline. Our bowlers do not think when they are bowling and at the death they get more stupid.

Holder's opening spell was tight he bowled 5 overs for 9 runs and got a wicket. He did not react prudently to AB's attack.

Come on, Hating the man is not good.

 
Scar 2015-03-03 11:34:53 

In reply to Cleg He didnt say great he said good, okay? Big difference from the top 4 teams.

 
Scar 2015-03-03 11:37:23 

In reply to jacksprat

Did you read properly? Man misquoting is a terrible thing when without it there is no bite reaction.

 
Cheeks 2015-03-03 11:38:21 

Lloyd is RIGHT in EVERY possible way..well maybe except about the 'good' bowling attack part. cool

1. The word 'CAN' connotes a possible event. It does not connote a probable event.
2. Only a jackass or maybe a Jockstrap member of ANY team would give a 'no comment' when asked about the chances of his team meeting their objective.

This Windies team has shown that though rare..the big hitters can put many a bowling attack to the sword. They're not consistent..but they can.

Same with bowlers....on a bad day they're horrible....but on good days (more rare than the batsmen coming through) they can run through teams fuh spit.

That is that guy's MO.

Deliberately misquoting...and building up di strawman.

There's another word for that.

Lloyd:“The point is that we have a good bowling attack, good batsmen, and a good all-round side,”


“If we bat, we have to make enough runs to win and defend. We do have the bowlers to do so." Lloyd said here Monday.

On what evidence does Lloyd base this confidence that he has in our bowlers?
Come on, Hating the man is not good.

I have no 'hatred' for Lloyd but the man seems to have mortgaged his prestige and credibility at the altar of expediency.

Many of his recent statements seem unhinged from reality!

Lloydie thinks that this is the 1979 WI??????????/ lol rolleyes


Of course, WI can come good on ONE day and beat any Team if these T20 Batsmen go nuts and one or 2 Bowlers bring their very best like Taylor did versus Pak.

India was just beaten comfortably in Tri series. Even in India a disgruntled WI beat India in one of the matches. So anything can happen on that day.
