Grind it out and then up the tempo later on.

If you can't dominate against this side then what. It was embarrassing the way SL A beat up Windies A in the Caribbean. Don't like that all three matches were played in the yard, if this is the next level then players need to be exposed to differing conditions.

Cremer to Kraigg Brathwaite, out Caught by Masakadza!! That's a beautiful ball to get Kraigg Brathwaite. Bowls the sharp leg break that bounces, and Kraigg Brathwaite ends up fending it to the slip in place.

Kraigg Brathwaite c Masakadza b Cremer 32(160) [4s-2]

You cannot stay out there all day and poke.
I am a Kraigg fan, but you have to try and get on top of the bowler.
I am not liking Powell or Kraigg approach to this inning.

 
cricketmygame 2017-10-30 11:02:54 

wow 26 overs for 30 and then out

 
WestDem 2017-10-30 11:05:46 

In reply to openning

Totally agree...too much negative batting...you shutting shop from ball one...wasted effort!

 
Narper 2017-10-30 11:08:49 

In reply to openning

Powell especially has taken it to the extreme.

I remeber when he started as a 16 year old in the Stanford T20 tournament in 2006....he was very aggressive...and over the years which followed

BUT now....he knows a lil 30 or 40....REGARDLESS OF SR...will cement his place in the WI team

Imagine regional cricket Bdos playing against WWI and there is commentary....
Up comes flingforward and pelts to Kraigg, and he paints it down to his shoe.
Repeat six times and the over is completed. razz

What are you complaining about? This is the brand that we have developed over the years and we cannot sell that product at 2 for 3 cents.

No one wants to pay to see our brand of cricket and this is what CWI's focus should be...developing world class players...the focus should not be on selling merchandise.

Anyway, I have never rated snail as a top class batsman. And his batting partner is a tortoise.

that's what we got to learn to do crawl before we can walk and run

In that case, Zim is better than WI. They crawl faster.

Crawling faster but not further lol

 
DIEHARD 2017-11-01 10:18:58 

This has been some partnership from these two. The last time WI's opening pair lasted these many overs was in September 2014 between Brathwaite and Leon Johnson (299 balls v Bangladesh, Gros Islet).


Although it was painful to watch...the 100 odd run lead and that comment above..puts it in context.

Kudos to the openers..

I can appreciate the nuances of test cricket.

I didn't actually watch the passage of play, so i dont know if they did indeed show the bowlers too much respect.

But mission accomplished, the lower order capitalized on the worn down ball and bowlers.

If you can't dominate against this side then what. It was embarrassing the way SL A beat up Windies A in the Caribbean.


If you check the FC batting averages of all the squad Singh @32 Ambris @31 amd Brooks@ 30 are your top batting averages...this is really a piss poor batting line-up.

In the one day three match series starting today Ambris @ 54.52 in List A and McCarthy @37+ and Jacobs bowling @ 19 represents a stronger batting and bowling lineup.

This A team comes in a transitional period...Players who would do better like experienced Devon Smith,Edwards,Ramdin,Carter and Fudadin seem to be discarded while the upcoming potential stars like Jangoo,Jones,Keemo Paul, Cato, Brandon King have now started their FC careers.

In reply to analyst-kid

The Windies are incapable of producing and developing batsmen. If you are not a born prodigee like a SOBERS/lARA, you are doomed.

The few real potential that show up once in a while never seem to get the nurturing needed.
Meanwhile countries like India are hatching batsmen like an old hen. We so dunce we can't even copy right.
