VC Blackwood urges West Indies teammates to learn and learn fast

"We need to be more selective with the way we go about our business. Today, we gave our wicket away a little bit too easy and too soft. If we had stayed very positive, we could have got the runs. We will have to learn and learn fast because we are facing quality bowling," Jermaine Blackwood, West Indies' second innings top scorer, said.


Them blokes better listen to the no nonsense VC or face the consequences lol

Although it may have been a bit of a hopeless cause, I liked the way Blackwood batted in the second innings, it appeared more natural of him rather than when he tries to dig in.

More attacking intent is needed of the middle order, especially when we know that the openers aren't attacking natured.

Blackwood just needs Hope to join up.

Everything will be perfect then.

Am not sure if word in the dugout was to be aggressive… Many of the players played irresponsible shots of which caused their demise…

Irresponsible is when you get out.

Attacking is when you make runs.

Fan still dreaming of Lawrence, he visualize Powpow as the next coming, that fell short of materializing, so Blackie is now the next coming of Lawrence Rowe..
Maybe Lugg or Mayers will be his next choice. lol

Stop that, it’s called telling untruths! If WI had 4 batsmen making half centuries across both innings we would’ve won what is 21/96???
Certainly not 22.

Maters just need to
a. Be more assured against pace
b. Little tightening up

Blackwood is the definition of inconsistent… it’s usually hit or miss with him… Let’s hope he continues his good form in the 2nd test…

Every WI batsman is every inconsistent, they are all hit and miss players, so why the emphasis on Blackwood?

We need to commend our colleague Courtesy on being a visionary.

Back when Blackwood was first picked to represent the West Indies, Courtesy's first comment/question was, "Can he speak?".

Looks like the man knew from way back then that Blackwood would ascend to a leadership position, and wanted to make sure his oral communication was at least presentable.

Big up Courtesy!

He is the subject matter... Paint ain't hit or miss. Tage has potential...

the arrogance astounds me this man only get a little fifty after so many low scores and talking big when he should be at the front of the line to be expelled from this team

Blackwood is a once in a while scorer. Inconsistent batter

A man does what's in his nature. One decent score and we jump and wave like he is the second coming of prime Rohan Kanhai. We now need to elevate him to the Captaincy for the three formats.

Its not as if there has not been precedent for that. With any luck, he will also spin the toss and clap us to a World Cup or two!big grin smile smile
