Samuels the only batsman to make over 20 runs

Another disgraceful batting performance by West Indies T20 team, as they are about to be white-washed by Pakistan. Samuels tried valiantly with a subdued slow batting to keep his wicket in an attempt to build partnerships but wickets just kept falling around him. Again some hyped up young regional batsmen are finding it tough going in international cricket.

Why are some of our batsmen seem to be in a rush to throw away their wickets?

If the other batsmen had batted like Samuels the score would have been 90. Not good enough by far.

Nonsense if Samuels had batted like the other batsmen WI score would have been an embarrassing 50.

Some WI fans are beyond comprehension, focusing negatively on the one batsman who tried desperately to score runs for the team while other dismal performers are left unscathed. Go figure! This insularity is contributing to the demise of WI cricket.

Marlon should just quit the West Indian team... He is a Fcuking waste!

You are another irrational fan, if he quits then what are we left with? When the others are by par worst performers and less consistent. I guess you will not be happy until WI teams are relegated to associate status as the young players are far below international standards.

Samuels by himself could tear apart a bowling attack.
As the main batsman "over 20 " is not good enough.
He needs to take charge or step aside.
Same for Darren. We make too many excuses for them.
