Agree and Blackwood is a very good fielder, an added plus to this team.

Different names...Same results. 0-4 in Bangladesh. This is real embarrassing.

You want to hear about real embarrassment...I have to face some Bangla colleagues at work...and some of my students....and the worst thing is....they are embarrassed for me....they keep asking me what has happened to WI cricket....they never boast about their team when they beat WI

Blackwood was used as an opener for West Indies 'A' for the tour to England & it was a failure.

I am not comparing blackwood to viv...but when viv started he struggled at test cricket...
We need to give blackwood another chance... when he is on song, bowlers fear him... unlike these guys we have now..

Gayle and maybe Lewis will be opening in the WC.
They should be looking for replacements for Gayle, Icon and a few others.

Well the long term we need need to start thing of more...
Dowich is a good batter and surely is better than powell...
