West Indies Vice-Captain Jermaine Blackwood says he is looking to score big runs in their upcoming two-match series away to Zimbabwe.
“I’m feeling pretty good at the moment. I’m hitting the ball very well in the nets,” the 31-year-old told members of the media in a press conference on Friday.
“The way I’m feeling now, I feel like my old self from a few years ago so, hopefully, I can go out there and out in some good performances for the team,” he added.
Blackwood is coming off a modest tour of Australia where he scored 63 runs in four innings at an average of just 15.75. In those four innings he recorded scores of 36, 24, three and zero.

It never ceases to amaze me how much talking West Indian players do BEFORE the fact.
Now I expect WI to do well against these pie throwers and then crash and burn against South Africa but then again Hope springs eternal in the human breast and I am hoping that they surprise me.

“I’m feeling pretty good at the moment. I’m hitting the ball very well in the nets,”
One would think that by now he will know that you don't score runs in the nets ...

You have to devote as much time practicing your strengths as you do your weaknesses

If your weakness is your strength or is it your strength is your weakness?

Ton for Blackwood in the first test, remember you read it here and this post can be quoted when it happens. This is a man full of confidence and these are fighting words. WATCH OUT ZIMBABWE!

Blackwood is going to liberate - Zimbabwe
Every man got a right to decide his own destiny
And in this judgment there is no partiality
So arm in arms, with arms, we'll fight this little struggle
Cause that's the only way we can, overcome our little trouble
No more internal power struggle
We come together to overcome the little trouble
Soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionary
Cause I don't want my people to be contrary
To divide and rule could only tear us apart
In every man chest, there beats a heart
So soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionaries
And I don't want my people to be tricked by mercenaries

Being good in the nets means nada… You have to mek runs and don’t be burdensome to the team…
