Just tuned in and saw scoreboard..man this is NOT good..Shai is still special at ODI.

100 for 5 ??? vs Ireland ???

Let me watch for a while.

If you saw that inning you may have questions , pulling from outside offstump to deep square, ball should be placed over thirdman.

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Silly all this debate over a player who is not the biggest problem. Half the Hope critics should spend the same energy criticizing Pollard.

In reply to nick2020

Check de post immediately above yours...a perpetual hater of anything not Jamaican.

That innings by Shai Hope was one of his better innings in a long time.

In reply to camos
Never saw it but I believe he did well from scoreboard which is all I can go by,comparatively.

Not the good can come from the bad as the 3 guys,Holder,Shep and Smith now have a lot of overs to take this advantage from Ireland if they
bat smartly..20 plus overs can yield over 100 runs easily without too many risks. I expect them to do that.

In reply to hubert

Unfortunately these jokers don't understand how to do so. Brainless bunch sorry to say.

In reply to Windiesfan78
Right now I don't know what to say so I will just blame COVID

Check this comment on cricinfo.com:
Matt Davis: "Seeing this it's hard for WI cricket to justify their stance on Hetmyer. Sure fitness is important. But actually being able to play cricket is probably more important. "

Here's another from the same site:

KenMack: "As a WI fan, I feel sorry for WI when ENG arrives."

In reply to Courtesy

Well let us Hope Odean delivers.

In reply to nick2020

For the sake of West Indies with bat and ball.

In reply to Windiesfan78
No fault found in those statements. WI got to get things right in vital areas.So much is lacking that is evident.
Sensible ,smart leadership got to come to the forefront. If they get it together, I would feel sorry for England
who probably won't recover from the mauling they got in OZ and their white ball squad could be affected too.

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Yuh get excited by lash and Hope? That was a desperation knock..I shudder to think what Mark Wood will do with him

In reply to FanAttick

...and I shudder to think what would happen to our other batters

In reply to FanAttick

remember them days when they would say Gayle did not get it done?

In reply to camos
Only Gayle???

In reply to camos

Indeed..


I guess in the case of Hope its the soft bigotry of low expectations

serious question- are men sitting with fingers poised ready to write praise or curse on a WEST INDIAN player solely based on a. Passport b. Performance/Non-Performance on the day?

In reply to Brerzerk

Are you new here?

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy
That is the major problem. Shai used to be able to bat to the 40th over. He is no longer doing that. Hety used to be there to keep the scoreboard ticking.

In reply to Baje

But people were dissatisfied with that they wanted him to raise the scoring rate. Well he did today.....what difference had it made it the team?

In reply to camos

Questions were asked when he wasn't getting scores, now the guy got a few there is concern over how he got them.

Why does it really matter? Runs is runs especially when the team needs them ...

In reply to Kay the same criticism was often leveled against Gayle when it was deemed that he did not bat long enough, not aware of the game situation, do you think the man batted enough so it does not matter how he finish?

In reply to camos

I thought you did not look at this as one country vs another
