Bish: Terrible lapse in judgment.

Bish: On the other hand, I know where Shannon has come from...I would say to him do not let this define him.

Bish: Shannon seriously understands the gravity and seriousness of this misjudgment.

Bish: He accepts responsibility...he has got a chance to put this right. He will have my support in moving forward.

Bish: Chase...one of the monumental batting efforts I have seen in a long time. When you look at the batting order Roston stands out like a beacon.

Bish: The rest of the batting order disappoints me.

I hope Chase stays the course. Remember that fella Blackwood?

Bish on Dowrich: His footwork behind the stumps was a little slow...using the hands to go after the ball. His foot work in front of the stumps and behind is slow.

Bish: Only Chase and Holder performed with the bat.

You are not comparing Chase to Blackwood are you?

Bish: Dust bowls do not allow for better cricket.

Bish is off on this note: I know a lot of people are angry with Shannon but if they do some research as to where he has come from they will understand why I have his back.

Doc Marshall: Yet another failed series for Hope. Dowrich and Hope should be competing for the same spot.

Doc Forde: Gabriel was good and the captain did their jobs in bowling.

Doc Forde: We have three batsman we have to look at, to see who can replace them.

Doc Marshall: Dowrich is a better batsman than a lot of the top six batsmen.

Lennox Marshall owner of Vibes Radio in Dominica: We were faced with the responsibility of producing the test but we were without the brand names like Andrew Mason so they had to fall on the local voices (unknown regionally).

In short, resource constraints contributed to the poor commentary on the test match.

Doc Forde: I hope Davendra Bishoo could have a word with Yasir Shah.

Lockhart Sebastien: We have a young team who are willing to work hard. A couple of them will be world beaters in the next few years.

Yes but not in a cricket ability context. Your boy Blackwood did have a 40 average in big boy cricket.

I have long suspected that powen has become too fat and lazy for this job. I am quite happy you have taken on this task.

Nothing that hard work and determination cannot overcome.

Well...err with one or two exceptions.

Doc Marshall: We have the makings of a fine side in some of these players. We have to be careful in how we handle these players.

We have to look at ways to end the trauma for some of these players. We do not avenues to get them back to form. It will be a mistake to have them playing together because they will be struggling to survive.

Dujon: No balls, fielding, bowling have to be worked on.

Dujon on Dowrich's keeping: I cannot say that I was...Standing up he was good...standing back he has to improve on his movement.

Dujon: Singh looks out of his depths. Plays ok to spin but pace, he is vulnerable.

Doc Forde: Shah is the best leg spinner in world cricket. He has lots of variety.

Doc Forde: Bishoo does lack variety but he is someone we can develop.

De Courtesy says: Nothing new here from Dr. Forde...but is Bishoo willing to add variety to his bowling?

Midwicket was the better program this evening, with Roddy being there.
He is or was a Devon Smith fan, and dont want these youngsters to suffer the way devon did.
His take is, closing the HPC was a big mistake, Devon did not had the opportunity to go there to worked on his problems after a series.
Ambris is asked to play cricket in Barbados, this season .
He also want Johnson who he think is one of the better fast-bowler, to also play this season in bim, where he too can work at the Centre of Excellence
With a HPC, these players could go there after the Pakistan tournament, and work on their game, they all have programs to work on,
