England will get a serious cutass in ODIs vs WI
In reply to Narper
In reply to WestDem
I mean that
A happy WI team will compete with the best in the World in ALL formats....TODAY
In reply to Narper
I know you mean that, the die hard you are but I am still laughing the tired I am!
In reply to WestDem
You are right...I am a diehard...I am also realistic....we have not been playing on a level playing field....
For the last 15 years we have had from one "industrial" crisis to another ....for over a decade with WIPA and WICB ...then with individual stars and WICB in the last few years as most of the recognized players pulled out of WIPA.
All this have had an effect on replacement players coming through the ranks.....babies are fast tracked to the highest level...recipe for chaos and embarassment
NOW....we are starting with a clean slate....only time will tell how long the slate remains clean....but this diehard will give it a chance...with great expectations
It will not be long before OZ crash and burn with 'industrial' crisis....under Kohli....watch Injun players challenge BCCI....et al will follow
WI cricket ahead of all ah dem
PEACE....AMNESTY....WE TURN DE CORNER.
We do not have the disciplined bowlers to make England sweat in an ODI.
In reply to Narper
What's your XI to do this
My team
Gayle
K Hope
Darren Bravo
M Samuels
S Hope / Chase
J Mohammed
Pollard / DJ Bravo
J Holder / Powell
Narine / Nurse
Taylor
Williams/ DJ Bravo
In reply to Narper
Lol, ah love yo optimism but you all really think is WICB alone why we losing? Players as much at fault.
Look, it simple, yo ain't gonna be a world beating ODI team with only one man averaging above 35 (gayle), 3 over 30 (Samuels, Lil B, Simmons), the rest under 30 + no Andre Russell. Pollard average 25 after 100 ODI, Dwayne Bravo the same. You really think that good enough to beat this English unit? This is not England from back in the days. Is quality bowlers plus a 300+ batting line up yo looking at.
All the top teams top 6 bats averaging 35 - 50. How we really gonna beat them consistently? Our best chance was against India who have some lollipop bowlers. This english side good.
In reply to bobby
Experienced players around...ON the field.....with good solid advice on de field of play...even ball by ball...will bring our bowlers up to standard...

Jen my bwoy....doesn't natter how much you like your profession....and your job....if you don't like your boss ( WICB) ....A MONOPOLY BOSS.....a boss that has absolutely no respect for you....a boss who feels you are dispensable for any TWEET.....when you basically have no other potential employer....when you have to seek permission ( NOL) from your current nasty employer to get a lil short term job with another employer.....you will be marking time....JUsT DOING THE MINIMUM....no real incentive to improve...just do enough for selection.....and probably dreaming of better days.....I SAY....BETTER DAYS APPEAR TO BE HERE
How else can you explain the much maligned WI STARS performing at the international T20 level for big big bucks and are in demand...the world over....and I don't buy it that T20 requires no brains...only an idiot with an agenda will think so.
I now expect the younger players to raise their level of play and achieve international norms with their averages....I do genuinely believe this.
This amnesty must include the ALL former players of the glory days and beyond....RE-EMBRACE the Roberts, Holdings, Richards, Ambroses, Haynes, Laras, Sarwans etc
In reply to Narper
Narps, don't get trick, not everyone cut out for Test, ODI & T20. Not because them guys ah rock the T20 stage world wide mean they are great players. Gayle is class in all formats, the same can't be said about the rest. Bravo & Pollard averages 25 from over 100+ ODIs. Them guys were regulars in the team, not drop and come back 2 years later.
In reply to jen
Jen...conducive environment mih bwoy
Men will perform...In all formats
In reply to Narper
Class is class, Lara shone bright like a diamond through it all. Is only wuss does blame their performance on external factors. Greats man up and admit their mistakes to themselves and look to improve their game.
In reply to jen
When Lara was growing up he had tons of genuine WI greats to look up....when he joined the WI team....played with greats too....they shed their knowledge on and off the field of play....Lara retired 10 years ago.
Today it is different scenario all together...hence my call below
All teams are destined for a cut tail from a full West Indies team
That was part of the sabotage, keep the senior players out and West Indies below and controlled
Maintain the house negroes like Cameron et all and give them power so they can oppress the players and weaken our teams with unexplainable selection and rules that undermine
Now we need them to be selected for test cricket, just like Australia practiced before by selecting players at a later age at 30 in their prime for tests
In reply to Controversy
How de fack you gonna post something like dis? You trying to say something about Cameron the goes back hundred of years?
In reply to Controversy
What was the West Indies ranked before Seniors were omitted from the team
In reply to WestDem
Why you ran to start another thread....and changed cutass for England to winning the 2019 World Cup
But if you predict that then you are bolder than me....but don't hide behind me to make your predictions
In reply to Narper
Hola....it would be great if things pan out as you predict....you deserve a bit of reward for your loyalty and support of WI...
hope it works out...years and years of support...if the WI players showed half as much dedication as many on this board I am positive they would had been ranked higher.

Fan optimism is always based on emotion not realistic analysis.
In reply to Narper
Lara was a genius, helps of talent and the man went out to bat determined to do the business. Just the way Lara went bout his business, is only determination and wanting to succeed can bring them kinda success.
What i'll blame WICB is for not doing something about pitches, not ensuring best players are out there playing for the region. But at the end of the day, if ah man not determine to do great things, he'll never achieve them. Natural talent do play a part, as some people have the mind for it and still don't get there, but the mental part is a must. Talent without it is a waste.
In reply to jen
Hola...natural talent,determination and confidence...note..CONFIDENCE....will get you through..

In reply to jen
Well said Jen. Add to that the fact that most of these players have not played at this level in a while. West indies will lose the ODI series and it won't even be close.
Interesting to note that CPL ends a week before the limited overs leg of the English tour.
All players available
