Congrats Captain Rovman

In reply to LBW375

Congrats to the skipper indeed

In reply to LBW375

Plainly a leader

In reply to LBW375

Not only good captaincy but the guys look like they are pulling for each other, so the team moral seems good as well.

Listen people…WE WINNNNNNNNN!!!!

In reply to bedydread


Reminiscent of captain Sammy

In reply to bedydread
I think that is the biggest key to good captaincy. Motivating your guys to rally round you. Also being confident enough to take on their input. Often the best captain is not the beat tactician but the one who can maximize resources

yea, seems Powell has something about him.

In reply to LBW375

So Poorman wasn’t nubodi?

In reply to Logic

We would not have won any match under Pooran

maybe he should win some more?


sh!thound fans

In reply to Raggs
Seems so.Wish him continued success

In reply to Hendra

How you know that? You see it in your balls - crystal or otherwise?

In reply to Barry

What balls?

In reply to Hendra

Let's just accentuate the positives for now

In reply to Barry


Man, dem think yuh easy

In reply to imusic
dirty, shrunken balls

In reply to Hendra

Even Poorman would have won

In reply to sudden

pooran wasn't captaincy material.....i always said he looked drained as a player when he was cappo. some people are born for it and some just cannot be leaders....no shame if you don't have that gift

In reply to Jumpstart

Don’t agree

Sometimes it is all about luck

In reply to sudden

nah.....pooran was not captaincy material. glorious batsman when the mood takes him but you can't perform if you question whether you can handle the responsibility of leading a region as disparate as ours, whether you'll be able to motivate your players to do their best.

In reply to Jumpstart

Damn sh!tty region….

There is still a lot of questions about his captaincy.We shouldhave the series 3-0. The captain has to learn to think on his feet when one of your main bowlers is getting lash about the place he has to hide him . In the game we lost , he overbowled Housein and Smith and mever used Mayers who is a good bowler. In this match he did the same thing again ie continue bowling bowlers who are getting lash about
Nurse and Shepherd should not have bowled more than 3 overs each. They had figures of 4 overs for 43 and 44 respectively. While Cotterel bowled only 3 overs for 24 runs.again Mayers who is usually economical was never tried. They left out Alzari in match 2 which we lost . Alzari won this match for them
The entire management team needs firing.

In reply to kazakman

but how de heck you could post such decent analysis as you run up like Mikey Holding

and then let go a wild wuffless EXTRA WIDE NO BALL with that crap at the end?

Like OSHANE??


HOW bro?

you flattered to deceive.

On what grounds was Alzari Joseph omitted in match 2 it was a management decision.
Smith should never be included in any of the matches

In reply to kazakman

Maybe a similar reason to why Njorte was omitted from the 2nd match on the SA side.

In reply to InHindsight

You just had to crap on a winning thread eh.

Selection is at the heart of the West Indian win not racist notions of captainceee

In reply to kazakman
Rotating players perhaps? How would you explain SA leaving out Nortje for the second T20?

In reply to LBW375
Congrats indeed. This is the first time I have traveled outside the Caribbean to watch WI play and seen a victory. I will reserve judgment on Rovman as captain though. His field setting during that second T20 had me scratching my head a few times.

west indians does mek me laugh for real don't lnow when to just accept a victory and not go overboard

In reply to Walco

hoss when one of your bowlers effortlessly leaking runs, yuh thought process must get scrambled

In reply to Walco

You were in SA? Respeck

Glad you got to experience a WI series victory

In reply to LBW375

Was wondering the same thing.

In reply to Walco

Field setting 101, no one can set field to bad bowling.

In reply to Walco

Same reason we left out Joseph.

In reply to LBW375

Congratulations also goes to the new Coach.

In reply to velo

What jibbish. When WI lose they get a pounding from same people. Relax yourself

In reply to LBW375

As I commented elsewhere its always reassuring when your captain is capable of contributing more to the team than just spinning the toss and clapping!

In reply to jacksprat

Some years ago I recall there were a lot of expectations about the XLCR player Senior. What has become of him?

In reply to Headley

Which one?

The older one, a contemporary of Braithwiate, Campbell et al,- and a West Indies U19 player- gave up cricket apparently because of some internal politics in the JA cricket set up. Last I heard, he was the head coach of Wolmer's Boys School.

Raewin, the younger brother, got a scholarship to UWI Mona and is in the process of completing his degree. Apart from being a talented cricketer (and JA U17 football representative) he is also a gifted student.

Much is expected of him.

In reply to jacksprat

Thanks. I believe it was Raewin. Getting a degree may be the best thing to do before trying to make a career out of cricket.

I hope it works for him. I may be biased but I believe the Ja and WI teams benefit from having university graduates on the teams.
