BASSETERRE, St Kitts (CMC) — Twenty20 World Cup star Johnson Charles stroked a half-century but was the only bright spark as Afghanistan opened their limited-overs tour of the Caribbean with a 12-run victory over the WICB President's XI here Tuesday night.Chasing a modest 116 at Warner Park, the President's XI could only muster 103 for nine off their 20 overs, with opener Charles gathering a typically robust 53 off 44 deliveries.

However, the right-hander was the only batsman to pass 15 and just one of three in double figures, as the run chase lost impetus in the middle overs.

Against Afghanistan? Lowly Afghanistan? And this is all we could manage?

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if we come out on the losing end of this series.

Wake up call for CWI

You know what...I hate to say this...I hope Windies get flogged by the up and coming Afghan team! Maybe then we might see changes

In reply to SirGarny

Even if the WI get flogged there would be no changes, Dave have an iron grip on things.

You are asking for Miracles , but that
aint going to happen . It would be very interesting to hear from the Pseudo Sports Journalists in the Region who are the Servants of CWI ,
aka Cricket Worst Idiots .

With every passing day they prove
that my stating Cricket Worst Idiots
is the correct name for the CWI . I am not Nostradamus .

However the Truth is that unless there are Serious & Total Restructuring in the Regional Boards
and the CWI , like the Character in
Alice in Wonderland :

" WE WILL BE RUNNING FAST ; BUT

REMAINING IN THE SAME PLACE "

That fact however does not & will not
trouble Cameron & Co .THEY are only
interested in SELF PRESERVATION .
Nothing else matters to the MIMIC MEN

The Kool Aid fans very quiet, no scorecard on the match, no fanfare for their hommie players and not even the usual melodramatic arguments as to who from Pres XI should be considered for WI duties. All quiet after the Afghan beat down. When will enough be enough for WI fans? MLK use to say, "I am sick and tired of been sick and tired".

I must of missed it but did they name the team for today's match?

Not a bad Squad:
CR Brathwaite*, S Badree, RR Beaton, E Lewis, JN Mohammed, SP Narine, KA Pollard, R Powell, MN Samuels, LMP Simmons, JE Taylor, CAK Walton, KOK Williams

I wonder who will sit, they all look competent, maybe the youngsters!

With that Windies team we cannot lose, is proper lix for Taliban.
