I feel like I watching bottom-house cricket

 
Admin 2015-01-22 15:29:10 

Dropped catches because slip-fielders standing up straight. Batsman hitting ball in the air softly, bat-up-and-ketch style, rain falling, fielders disinterested, wicket shitty, umpires seeing mystery edges, etc. etc.

My pet turtle is bored and my eyeballs are bleeding.

i been peeping a few games here and there and cant help but think... *sh!t cricket*

and to think that players who consistently play in the XI is only guaranteed 3 games is sad...

We only going through the motions of a 50 over tourny...

 
Admin 2015-01-22 15:32:28 

Even the commentary is shitty. Croft is so unprepared, it's embarrassing.

But commie says these are the players that should be playing regularly for west indies and better than who has been playing for the past 5 years.

Dropped catches? You must be lying.

They keep saying over and over on the TV that these are the two "elite" teams in the tournament. Guyana looks like a bad case of weekenders.

Commie 2015-01-22 15:45:38 

In reply to imusic

If they stay playing on those shitty pitches for the duration of their careers, they will just regress.

Note that when India A toured the Caribbean, people like Rahane could barely get the ball off the square. In fact IIRC he got three ducks in a row.

 
Admin 2015-01-22 15:46:54 

In reply to Commie

The pitch at QPO especially is shit. But beyond that, this is club-cricket quality (catching, fielding, shot-selection, etc.)

imusic 2015-01-22 15:46:58 

In reply to Commie

Oh...so is pitches now?

So the players who we been playuing for the past 5 years must have been playing on different regional pitches lol


Besides....is the pitch that causing drop ketch. Well yes! lol lol

These guys on TV putting lipstick on a pig, Animal Farm-style. Someone like Fazeer who has toured the world and seen real cricket trying to pass this off as some kind of professional game. It's so fuqn comical.

They trying to avoid the potholes in the pitch. Although....as bowlers....they should know dem holes should help them take wickets lol

In reply to Admin

WHat do you think happens to players who stay playing in fc cricket. They regress. Visibly so.

Equally, most of the spinners can barely buy a wicket when they encounter true cricket wickets.

After this season these guys will be together. Its no coincidence that the guys with the better trechniques have been the ones who attended HPC. Give them a year to really just play cricket and next season will be the first test of the new structure.

After this disastrous exercise to secure votes, and given a new mandate, I hope they play more games in St Lucia at Beaseajour until Crafton can export his knowledge properly. its the only true cricket wicket left in the region.

You think a couple months of cricket and then go do your own thing makes any sense ?

I was at the stadium watching Windwards train and Ian Allen was saying that this is the longest time these players have been together for any season. from November ? Crazy.

There was a generation of players still playing regional cricket who were good. Success bred success.

No surprise. I gave the Sweden example in tennis. When they were churning out winners, another one was always emerging, Now? Not one Swedish player in the top 300, and no grand slam since 2002. Who woulda thunk.

In reply to Admin

No...its a cycle that only a very few nations and sports programs can avoid.

In the midst of that you have a whole world trying to get better too.

Playing more cricket will help, but the best thing is playing cricket against better people. The quicker we can one and done regional players, the better.

The ESPN3 coverage isn't available for everyone. It's tied only to ISPs that have agreements with ESPN. I'm not sure how ESPNPlay works.

Quite Interesting... When I said the same thing you were saying the pitches are no different from the past.... You also went on to ask me the average scores in the pitches have not changed.
