Bits and pieces players like "20 sinting" Carter, "too flashy" Evin Lewis, "don't know where my offstump is" Kieran Powell "there and there about" Nurse, Carlos and Holder dragging this team down.

Coach going have a problem molding this team. Last time man complain about too much work. Whole ah dem need to learn the basics.

Phew !

irrespective of the opposition, the probability of WI putting a team together that can score >250 consistently is very remote.

I am now really concerned about Holder and Carlos. Holder is supposed to be better than that by now. He is not giving us more than an Emrit will give us with both bat and ball.

I was about to ask the same question but you beat me to it. Try this one who is the flavor of the Month.When he shows he cant cut it at the highest level, try whoever is the next flavor. In the meantime, blame the selectors because our talent is not of International standards. Lol

Hard to believe that Emrit cannot get a look in.

From Cricinfo

rssampat: "Darren Sammy = 52 runs off 19 Balls Dwayne Smith = 121 runs off 40 Balls M.Samuels = 59 off 33 Balls All this Yesterday, But not here, In Hong Kong and not for the WI but for their franchises and therein lies the story of WI cricket and the drunk irresponsible power of its Administrator's" All true. But West Indies have won two global trophies in the last five years, which is more than England can boast...



Selectors would not have chosen them.

Interesting. Selectors claim that there is talent in our system and run away all the players who were playing.

Now when fans ask the selectors where is your talent, you put a bunch who completely are clueless at International level and question who else do we have.... Want it the selectors who said that WI cricket has talent?

I've been arguing this point with POINT ad nauseum. England has the best cricketing infrastructure in the world. Windies the worst.....yet the last time they played a test series, the result was a draw.

It's the quality of talent that makes the difference.

You either have talent or you don't. There is no high grade and low grade talent...

No--England is our colonial rival so we tend to play them tough..That's why we have these result, collectively and individually--
That's why I do not put any or not much into our players that perform against them--

 
LBW375 2017-03-09 16:41:10 

What talent ?

Talent takes you up to Under 19. After that its intelligence, hard work, and dedication plus proper coaching, a willingness to learn and improve and most important, mentoring.

Unu too forking terrible...but u know what ..the Ozzies have a habit of debuting battle hardened 70 year olds who kick everybdy ass.

There may be some wisdom in it.

I have to say, with all the options and alternatives available..WI cricket talent is being grossly mismanaged.

Emrit should have gotten a look in some time ago.

Just look at the regional stats man, some players have held their hand up..some of the current crop have done nothing to justify this long run they getting.

Some of the performers being overlooked, deserved to feature in this series, at what point do we give up on the "investing" in Carlos and his ilk?

so when the 4 best fast bowlers in the world played for the same team (Windies, circa 1980 - 1992) compared to at most 2 good ones for the other team, what would you call that?
