please change the heading of your thread to: Jaguaurs beat the test team without Kemo, Bishoo and Hety.

My Antiguan brother reminds me of Gary Sobers in Antigua for a friendly match, a young upstart got him out and was bragging, Gary was talked into staying another day, which he excepted, the captain had to take the ball away from him, with the blows he received.
Just saying, these guys on the Pride team looked flat, after Christmas.

Many of the Pride players indeed looked flat, either because they were tired from the India/Bdesh tour or they just did not care about the regional championship. Either way, this cannot be good for Bdos or WI, and especially not good for the many promising Bdos players who could not even get a place in this Pride team for this match.

Again, CWI should organise its own practice matches to prepare WI prospects for upcoming Test or ODI series. Using the regional competition for this purpose results in farcical matches and robs young prospects of valuable opportunities, as "big" players make fools of themselves and cause their home teams to suffer demoralizing losses.

The Jaguars obviously care about the regional championship, which has helped Guyana to keep producing players that are competitive at the regional level.

The only team that has beaten the Jaguars in the last two seasons is the Hurricanes.

The coach said he did not hear from the players, if they were available for the match.
That was in one of the newspapers, so I doubt these guys had anytime to prepare for the match
These people are fooling with a sport, we all enjoy
