Review WC 2015 and WC 2019

WC 2019 clearly shows that the WI team lacked experience. So where are the experienced players? The answer is DECLINING quality and exodus to T20 cricket resulted in the absence of experienced players.

WC 2015

Dwayne Smith
Gayle
Darren Bravo
Samuels
Ramdin
Simmons
Sammy
Russell
Holder capt
Taylor
Benn
.....INCLUDING Charles, Roach, Carter and Miller

Gayle avg 56.66 Holder avg 51.66 Bravo avg 49.00, Carter avg 37.66 Samuels avg 35.40 and Simmons avg 34.60 was the best batting AND
Taylor 17 wkts @ 19.29 and Gayle 5 wkts @ 19.40 and Russell 11 wkts @ 31.18 were your best bowlers followed by Holder 9 wkts @ 39.00

Practically all these players have declined or retired and Darren Bravo batting decline clearly shows WHY WI WC 2019 team lacked experience. It must be noted Roach was a member of this 2015 squad and is now the most experienced and leading bowler in the WI 2019 squad. Holder however has shown no improvement in his bowling and his batting has declined considerably avg 24.28.

One thing for certain...Lewis Hope Hetmyer, Pooran Ambris will all be seasoned players next WC 2023 BUT WILL THERE BE AROUND? Another thing certain is the WI fast bowling pool...it is quite large and 2023 IT will be a force

But this waitin' feel is just not fine
So don't treat me like some puppet on a string
'Cause I know I want to watch those bails zing
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb, analyst-kid
I wanna know when you're coming from
I don't wanna wait in vain for a win
I don't wanna wait in vain for a win
I don't wanna wait in vain for a win
'Cause if the English summer is here
But I'm still waiting there
Winter is here
And I'm still waiting there
/Guitar solo/
Like I said
It's been twenty more years since I'm waiting for a win
And I don't want to knock anymore
Ooh dawg, ooh dawg, is it really feasible?
I wanna know now, for I to knock some fans out
Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief
But Allen and Ambris can't be my only hope or relief
Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for them to win
See!

My belief is that YOU are waiting in vain. Because Change MUST first Start
at the TOP not at the Bottom .

What is sad is the freaking Fact that
most people in the Region seem unable
to understand this Fact .

Insanity is generally described as
doing the same thing Over & Over , with the Hope & Expectation of getting a Different Result .
