That was a swing from Blackwood

 
sudden 2021-02-07 18:19:11 

Had he connected that ball would have gone a mile. Hope he didn’t pull a back muscle

That was really really bad given the state of the game. As a matter of fact that looks really bad across all formats, conditions and game stage. He should pay a fine for that. Lose a portion of his match fee. Suppose the game was resting on his performance. shock

Then I would agree the fine. However his reaction said it for me. A kick in the pants would be sufficient.

How was wondering how long it would take a baje to adroitly decry the jamaicans
It has being a prolong and sustain subtle and not so subtle barage by the usual supects

Imagine as the team's premier batsman you sat in the pavilion watching two lesser mortals fight their heart out for West Indies for the greater part of 5 hours. It was literally in the home stretch. Then it's your turn (after getting advice from Virat Kohli) to play a shot like this...basically auditioning for IPL.

I fully understand that Blackwood cannot bat but my word, give it a lil' fight nuh.

The story of his cricket life...our main batsman...Jermaine Swiping Blackwood.

Hehehehehehehehehe!!!!

Jeez....Blackwood is a bajan according to opening. Campbell and Bobo / Kraigg are best of friends and Bonner went to the HPC in Bim and is well liked there.

Contrary to what goes on here JAs and Bajans get on well big grin

That being said I hope Blackwood didn’t pull a muscle on that swing

Bonner more than made up for any faux pas on Blackwood’s part as Mayers for the bajan jokers smile

I would like to see him and Mayers batting together followed by Hetty and Dwayne Smith big grin

As I always say: When Bajan cricket is strong West Indies cricket is equally strong.

Not true...it is when Ja produces a reasonable good batsman. Check all our test teams and you will see

SMN took DRS under his wings, to assist him, it did not last very long, hitting to cow corner is still his favourite shot.

Mate, a "reasonably good batsman" is a rarity in Jamaica. It's like finding a block of ice on the surface of the sun.

Bonner, has a fairly decent technique but it's a stretch to call him a "reasonably good batsman."

Age is against him but I will pick him over Blackie any day. Blackie is a fake.

It makes a difference when you get that one on one, and can spend hours working on the game.

Frankie has one, and seem to have a good junior program.
A number of his student have toured England and South Africa already, with the Franklyn Stephenson Academy.

Mate, I was thinking about this: Coach Simmons spoke glowingly about the huge change in attitude of this new crop of players after the victory.

With the recklessness shown by Blackie (which of course is indisputable) how would this affect the positive newly found attitudinal change and how is the coach going to rid the team of this irresponsible batting by Blackie et al.

This seemingly impulsive behaviour appears to be engrained in Blackie.

Should the coach perform an immediate excision to prevent this sought attitude from permeating our newly minted committed fighters?

I firmly believe that "one bad apple can spoil the whole damn bunch."

 
sudden 2021-02-08 14:20:55 

In reply to Courtesy

No Blackie has bought some time to fail.

Do you want to speculate whom the coach was referring to re the attitudinal issue problem

That's a sad commentary seeing that there's no real competition for his his spot in the team. Not even the anointed one, Shai Hope, competing.

West Indies #1 batsman continues to produce at least one half-century, for every match since returning to West Indies test team, if every WI batsman executed that goal, the our test team would be consistently successful.
He has been the main producer for WI in the last consecutive matches for WI, so he can be excused for one rash shot, it’s all part of the game of cricket. big grin big grin

Let's blame it all on Kohli, the one who has meted out unsustainable if at all achievable advice to Blacks.

No and I don't think that it is Bajans transgressing here.

I have to say though, that the coach got a reason to take this off his chest and it seems there remains some players "who are not students of the game."
