Ordinary batting effort so far but not over yet.

Will take another special effort to get us out this hole.

It is T20 cricket, West Indies style, not every day is the same.

Every format needs a technically correct batsman.

Auguste, Hope, Athanaze all look technically correct to me. Just some soft dismissals.

@voiceofreason

Strange series this

 
voiceofreason Nov 8, 2025, 10:47:45 PM 

Why run? Shepherd should be looking to bring this home!

 
voiceofreason Nov 8, 2025, 10:49:10 PM 

Romario gets back the strike 10 from 3.

 
voiceofreason Nov 8, 2025, 10:51:28 PM 

Fall short again! Wow another one down to the final over! We almost snatched victory out the jaws of defeat. Batted poorly but again showed good fight with our long batting lineup.


Good effort Romario and Shamar Springer. Our batsmen failed us at the top.

@voiceofreason

What do you know about technically correct batting?

Athanaze has been auditioning for this for since last regional 4-day.

After seeing how he was batting, I wrote that he should not be selected for red-ball cricket.

Auguste should be kept far away from this format if he wants to be an international-class batsman.

We play Curry goat cricket, 6 and out.

Bro, I am more in tune with development than 20 years ago.

I continue to take private Dance and Golf lessons, and today was my second set of swim lessons.

When it comes to cricket, I have been humiliated by an Australian in the 90s, so I get it.

@openning


Man you’re always on to this dancing and golfing, you think the average cricketer can make the connection?

When are u gonna play some chess?

The players need to do some swinging!

Too much dancing!

Seems the team batting first has the edge, would be interesting to see tonight.

My wife spent 25 years learning ballroom dance at Arthur Murray. Her kids tease her about their inheritance because of it. I recently added swimming and aqua fitness to my hobbies.

If Chess were a hobby, I would also have a teacher; my three children will have it no other way.
