...and the jamaiscums here like to call him uglyman as if junior bennet is a cheese.

Ottis Gibson becomes England bowling coach

Congrats coach Gibson. You just can't keep a good man down.

In reply to Courtesy

Based upon the post-Gibson results, especially the marked improvement in our bowlers, I would say that the WICB made a good decision in refusing the Gibson stone, don't you?

By the way, all that money the WICB used to buy out Gibson's contract could have been used to help fund the PCL

In reply to Walco

Marked improvement?...indeed, indeed.

I concur and especially in light of this post in reference to coach Gibson's premature departure:



And this:

In reply to Walco

During the Gibson tenure how many times did WI bowlers give away 400 runs in ODI?

It would be helpful for a camparison

In reply to Courtesy

Didn't know Wally was a hater tuh. He must love the recent results.

If Ottis Gibson was WI coach, Bravo and Pollard would have played in the World Cup. Either that or Gibson would have quit again. And the irony of it all is that Bravo (the B-game Bravo) heralded Gibson's departure.

In reply to WI_cricfan

I think you already know the answer to that question I don't recall any 400 scores under Gibson's tenure, but you would have to double check that one.

In reply to Walco

Mother of all ironies.



BTW, Wally is still dancing...delighted at our number 1 status in all formats of the game and our recent excellent performances.

In reply to WI_cricfan
While the bowling was terrible and the worse in the World Cup, the fielding restrictions and the Dave Cameron selected team did play a part.

Seriously though, there is this popular misconception that Gibson was fired. Gibson obviously wants people to believe this for some reason. Gibson engineered his exit as WI coach. My guess is that he and Tricky Dick Pybus did not see eye-to-eye and Gibson decided to exit stage left after the WICB sided with the tricky one.

In reply to Walco

Ironic indeed.

Figures. England scraping the bottom of the barrel these days. Who did they play in the quarterfinals again?

In reply to WI_cricfan

How many times did WI play South Africa during that time – I think that should be part of the equation since I believe SA is the only team that scored 400 + ODI runs against WI

In reply to chunnie

Enter: coach Gibson to the rescue.

In reply to chunnie

So I take it you are expecting England to be soundly defeated by us in the upcoming series here in the West Indies. After all, there's not enough room for two teams to be scraping the bottom of the same barrel. WI scraping somewhere above the bottom

In reply to Courtesy

Last time we beat England to WIN the WISDEN....


....guess who was their bowling coach?

In reply to birdseye

You are indeed correct the SA is the only team that scored 400+ against us. So in order to include more teams and allow for a better comparison, the number should be lowered to teams that have scored 392+ against us with Gibson as coach and post-Gibson. Happy now??

In reply to Cleg

Uglyman as your fellow jamaiscums would say. So?

NEXT.

In reply to Cleg

So we regaining Wisden then???

Bowling coach? Big deal!!!

Wasn't he head coach of the WI team?

In reply to Courtesy



Suh de man fuss series back will be against de WI....Hmmmm....all batsmen better change their batting style!

In reply to WestDem

At Shiv's age and ICC test ranking do you expect him to change his style?

In reply to Courtesy



Shiv already changed his style....ah de others me talking about....no wonder Gayle pulled out!!!

In reply to WestDem



So the others will be sitting rabbits?

In reply to Courtesy



NOT OUTS Galore!!!

In reply to WestDem

Chrissy will now have one more reason to cocksuck.




Cocksuck: a highly stupid or annoying person;

Example of use in a sentence: Chrissy is dumb cocksuck.

........

A note to Chrissy: Don't dig nutten...this is just an example.

In reply to Courtesy



Chrissy will be incharge of the welcoming party that is receiving the English squad.... Yuh better be there to see de hug Gibbo will get from her!

In reply to Walco

Well the `odds` has shifted to wards us now.

I will back Ambrose any day vs OPISS!!!

In reply to WestDem

If after all her caustic criticism of coach Gibson and de Queen of (H)england she will be a dumb cocksuck to do this.

In reply to Cleg

Don't hedge man. Mek di call big and bold nuh. Even if yuh seh we would beat dem if Gayle wuz playing I could tek dat

BTW, as I recall, it was England's batting that lost the Wisden, not their bowling. I remember great spell of bowling by Tayrol and a 9-wicket match haul by Benn.

In reply to Walco

DP took on OPISS and won the series for us geezer.

Educated Fools can come up with all kind a shyt.

In reply to Cleg

Okay Mr. 333, the next thing you'll tell me is that rain did not save us from a loss in the Antigua test. In fact, rain was more responsible for us regaining the Wisden than DP

In reply to Walco

You need to look at the scorecards.

It wasn't just Antigua we lucked out.

In reply to natty_forever

What does education have to do with anything? A fool's a fool, no?

BTW, watch out for yuh boy Ramdin. Knives sharpened for him.

In reply to Walco

How long you giving Rammo.

In reply to Commie

Antigua stands out in my memory, but I took a look like you suggested. The Trinidad scorecard is an interesting read. Looks like we barely held on there as well.

In reply to Commie

If we lose badly to a vulnerable England team, he's done and dusted.

In reply to Walco

People have very interesting memories with that series.

Is Ambie a coach or just an advisor?

In reply to Commie

That was a corner-turned series for some. For me, it was a "by the grace of God" series

In reply to Walco

I am here listening to SportsMaz Zone, and a man in Antigua say that Antigua is the only Island with three cricketing knights.......he serious?

In reply to cherri

He could he right

After all, we got more than three

In reply to nissan



he could be right fuh real.........

In reply to Courtesy of an Educated Fool...

... you know the rest of that saying?
