i have a lot of time for Blackie. he is naturally aggressive and is a good find. however he must learn to control his aggression and work on hitting the ball on the ground more often. whilst he has made important runs in this series he has given a chance in every innings he has made runs. i know that that is cricket as it is often referred to when one says a batsman was dropped or mis-stumped, but this may not happen against the Ozzies and then the wolves will come out for Blackie.


Blackie is also a good fielder and bowls a bit of off spin which should be utilised more often

Blackwood gives a chance pretty much every innings. When his luck changes, and sport, like life does that, it could get dark real quick.

He has the shot making though.

Its a pity the lil opener Campbell hasn't had any success because he is very much cut from that same cloth imo. Shot making tyro.

West Indies needs two runs to win the second test match...plenty of overs to go and Blackie swiping like hell and walks unashamedly back to the pavilion.

What manner of a test batsman does this?

lol lol lol

Btw, Shai Hope it is foolish to say: "Blackie is Blackie."

"Trump is also Trump" but that does not make him smart.

Agree completely Courtesy! Apparently a certain English player was heard telling the others late this afternoon that "Blackwood is an embarrassment to that team" so it would seem the wild hitting has made him a laughing stock to players and the public alike.

This is test cricket.

I guess his supporters and himself think he is a genius at swiping. Smart persons know better.

I hope he is also an embarrassment to the selectors.

He needs to buy some more American lotto tickets. There is a future right there.
