Windies can upset India, says confident Lloyd
In reply to shivnotout
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.
Clive Hubert Lloyd, please,please keep quiet. The more you talk the more you sound like.......

We'll have to wait until Bravo and Pollard get back.

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.
HUH?
Is this geezer for real?

Let it go dude.
In reply to hotarobin
Ha the only thing they can beat must be indian p....sy
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.
We can upset them by not showing up to this match also

Lloyd in his eighties?
In reply to Maispwi
He added: One-day cricket is about who plays well on the day and gets their disciplines right. If we do that,

The point is that we have a good bowling attack, good batsmen, and a good all-round side, Lloyd said here Monday.
This comment proves that Lloyd is delusional and definitely suffering from dementia.
In reply to Cleg
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!
In reply to bobby
Did you actually expect him, as head of selectors, speaking to the world, to say the team has no chance and is crap ?
[b]In reply to Commie[/b
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..........
In reply to Commie
Yes.
In reply to cherri
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.
In reply to Drapsey
shot!!!
raise your bat.
In reply to Gupta
are you saying we cant beat india?
In reply to Commie
Please Commie......please.......who worrying?.....me?.....surely you jest........just saying what the hell I feel like just like you and the rest............suppose you hear what people in certain circles saying........like for instance someone he once captained who remarked and I quote......'he need to stop now, he is beyond redemption'.....but I am loving this particular phase in west indies cricket, because I remember a few year ago a man said that certain people in the region believe that they have the remedy for this cricket......they are now in charge, and I am loving it...........doan bother bout me Commie, this cricket done ben up.....dog bite yuh, it ben up, and nuff uh we feeling a feeling............
In reply to bobby
and windies lose by 257 runs
In reply to shivnotout
You mean windies get tek fuh 400+.......
In reply to Commie
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!,
In reply to Maispwi
no, but septuagenarian is too hard to spell
In reply to jacksprat
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.
In reply to Cleg He didnt say great he said good, okay? Big difference from the top 4 teams.
In reply to jacksprat
Did you read properly? Man misquoting is a terrible thing when without it there is no bite reaction.
Lloyd is RIGHT in EVERY possible way..well maybe except about the 'good' bowling attack part.
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.
In reply to Scar
That is that guy's MO.
Deliberately misquoting...and building up di strawman.
There's another word for that.
In reply to anandgb
On what evidence does Lloyd base this confidence that he has in our bowlers?
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!
In reply to cherri
Lol...I get you.
Again I quote Mia...leave politics for politicians. I watch the cricket with an open mind.
In reply to Commie
Only if his name is Cameron and he could fit it nto 140 characters or less.....
Lloydie thinks that this is the 1979 WI??????????/
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.
In reply to moneybrain
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.
well india on a roll.and ireland clean up windies
