We were complaining about Otis asking for plenty of laps.

Have you seen how our cricketers chase or approach the ball? Isn't also evident that we falter badly in every third session of the day's play.

Film at 11.

Every other team touts and reinforces their fitness regime. Our boys are told fitness is secondary to talent. Fans say we pushing the guys too hard. big grin

That ugly artogant scum along with hunte and hilaire is the genesis of this problem. First tine we consistently fielded second string teams was under him. Alienated gayle, destroyed sarwan mentally, exiled dwayne bravo, backed down on tiger when he threatened to sue

Who said "Otis is an abuser" in terms of reinforcing his fitness regime?

It's always someone else's fault isn't it.

First it was Lara because he was hogging the glory and intimidating the guys and once we got rid of him things would be better.

Then it was Shiv because he was only playing for stats/Not outs and once we got rid of him his replacement would bat for the team.

Always looking for someone to blame instead of admitting that the team SUCKS!!!

At least if we had a fitness regime in place they would suck while looking fit rolleyes rolleyes rolleyes

lol lol lol lol (at the fit whle we suck part)its beyond fitness. Those guys are really fragile mentally. We need a psychologist for the team. They crumble once they are under pressure.

I like Phil personally and I think he is a genuinely decent human being. The easiest thing for a new cricket coach to fix and improve is fielding, but our fielding has gotten worse since Phil took over. I heard one of the commentators say during the New Zealand innings that West Indies had dropped seven catches up to that point. This is a bad sign. Phil might be too nice to coach this lot.

I’m sure you remember a few months back when anthonyp posted the results of the fitness tests the West Indies team and our new savior captain failed the test. Imagine that shock

Don’t bother with Rams man. I bet he has no idea who was the coach the last time West Indies were ranked 5th in test cricket. Seems like Otis said something to Rams that hurt his feelings. Poor fella big grin

Nice guys or the grinning type hardly make happy or effective coaches. "Your hand, your money and your ticket..."

Btw, I have never seen a fielding display as atrocious as this.

I guess the main coach's priority is to make sure he gets the correct flavour of ice cream. And that's why he doesn't trust anyone to buy it for him.

You can blame Viv and holding for that. They demonized lara for the better part of two decades. I remember Viv saying lara was being insular when he placed dillon on the list instead of sandford, conveniently leaving out that sandford was playing for the Leeward islands team at the time(he had moved to antigua from Dominica). They blamed lara for everything.

Those attacks on Otis, Hunte and Hilaire are so transparent for purposes of identifying the poster. It’s a good thing no chairs can be thrown on this site smile Maybe Wackie should add a chair emoji wink

Ram and sprat should buy the Miss America beauty pageant from Trump. Actually that’s the wrong pageant. Is there a Miss America equivalent for men?

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

I know for sure spratty has nothing whatsoever to do with beauty. He specializes in highlighting in "Bajan uglymen."

Spratty, must be fuming right now. If only he could lay his Jamaican machete on me. Cheer up Spratty.

big grin
