The sponsors for this one is the BCA

Selector
Coach
6 Bajans on team, lost count
No finger pointing though.
Same men continue.

Not to say any other sponsor would have done better but own it and recalibrate.

Who sponsored previous official test tours to SA?

Stay in the present. Don't be offended. Cupboard bare and unnu don't want to give up admin posts to youth.

Not offended. Perspective is the key.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

I get the silliness people engage in on the board. I guess it is entertaining to who it entertains but here are the stats:

Bowling

Joseph did well.

Batting

Blackwood and Holder did the best.

We do not have enough good players in our squad. Barring some exceptional performances (in ENG) we do not play well away. Because most of the players from all the islands are not at the same level as the rest of better cricket nations. Kraigg + Tage were bad this series but were the better bats against ZIM.

Well. Onto the ODIs.

How are you man?

You must be busy?

Haven’t seen you in these parts lately?

How is the lecture ting going?

Zim cannot be the barometer. This test opening pair needs to figure out a way against quality bowling

I still here my friend.
I see you keeping the rum shop and the back room honest.

the last tours weren't as bad. samuels and brathwaite scored hundreds in the second test of the last tour, ensuring we drew it. We even scored over 300 once. Before that, in 08, we actually won a test in SA

could it be that they were under too much pressure, knowing that if they failed, there was nothing to come after? I am disappointed that we did not get even one 50 run partnership out of them in 4 innings after they just broke a record in Zim.

Imagine this is the sameKraigg that bob, weaved and stood up to Mornie Morkle and Co. Is it that players like, him , Chase, Blackwood , Mayers aren't working hard and long enough or coaching staff can't identify and solve new problems?
