71/8, this is ridiculous big grin.

this still might be enough runs for barbados but this is poor technique against the moving ball

At least our FC cricket can give us a good laugh. 5 fer for Devon who could only warm the bench on the last two tours. But tell me something. Is Walsh Jr. just playing as a batsman who can bowl a bit? Is he working on his versatility? big grin big grin big grin big grin

78 all out

From 59-0 big grin

 
Windiesfan78 2023-03-16 21:13:18 

78 all out, disgraceful lol!

 
Windiesfan78 2023-03-16 21:16:21 

Good thing this is FC and though I support Barbados, I can have a good laugh. If this is the standard of cricket on show, the future of West Indies cricket doesn't look promising.

Been away, what the hell is going on, JA and now Bim/
Man this is not good, not good at all. Embarrassing for
WI cricket.

Cornwall showing them that he still one of the better bowlers in the region despite been discarded for lessor talented bowlers like Chase.

I am not surprise, that Elite / 1st division, promotion and demotion has to stop, the Island just don't have the population, to develop players from so many clubs.
Some of these guys should be playing Intermediate or 2nd division cricket, not representing Barbados at the regional level.

I assume a number of your friends or club mates are playing so you are happy.
Barbados cricket is bigger that any club, it is frustrating to see Conde and his various boards, devalue a great product.
We have no great International player, which is so said.
Even if Barbados win this game and the regional tournament, changes has to be made in order for us to have world class cricketers again.

In reply to openningi don't know any of these current guys personally or support any club i did live close to the wanderers club and some of them do play for this club when i was in bim. i saw kraigg and jason get some match practice but you have to accept the fact club cricket in barbados is junk no standards so you can't expect to produce diamonds .

The worse thing is; Bim winning the match.

Wondies standard poor.

The BCA has to realize the cricket and facilities are way below International standards, in order to develop world class cricketers, there has to be modern grounds, club houses, training centres and role coaches.
I wrote about this over a decade ago, Fuzzy responded by saying, He will be paying more taxes if they do what II suggested.
I live in an Olympic city, with modern Winter Olympic facilities.
These facilities are work on almost daily, because international athletes train daily , away from competition.
Why is cricket still playing at Bank Hall, which international ground has 3&4 boundaries?

 
sudden 2023-03-17 14:16:28 

i cant see Bim winning this game

really???
with the standards around.
I'm surprised that they made 120-4 thus far.

Crampy looking Powell in charge.
Bowling very very poor.
At least two bad balls per over.

Wow...

Totally agree with you sudden. Look at the run rate, it's like watching an ODI. Furthermore, why did it take so long for the spinners to be introduced?

Absolutely no fight in that team.

That's downright embarrassing for Barbados to lose after being in such a commanding position.

big grin, for the Pride who were downright rotten in this match. That was absolutely pathetic batting yesterday. No wonder our team is so poor. If this is the garbage one has to endure in regional cricket, no wonder the W.I sits at the lower end of the table in all formats.
