Thank you Shamar, 7/68

He ‘s a performer to boot

In reply to Chrissy

A very pleasant surprise to rhatid. The best I was expecting from the team was for them to do their best which I expected to be short of good enough. For them to better Australia in their backyard is huge indeed.

In reply to Chrissy

The Gabba has been Australia's stronghold and best venue.This maybe their second loss there in over 20 years
if memory serves.

In reply to Chrissy

I woke up just in time to see the last rites.

A great performance by the youngsters!

In reply to Chrissy

This is a team without any star players, to win against the #1 team in the world, is an achievement.
Congrats, Congrats.

In reply to openning

I am the happiest man in the world, I knew something special was coming once a group of lambs dared to believe, the world will remember forever the day a powerful Australian test side under estimated an under strength West Indies test side, Pat Cummins must be smarting after the stupid disrespectful declaration……

In reply to Chrissy

Last time we beat Australia anywhere was when we broke the world record.

what a win
what a performance

i can hardly think of what to say today

proud of this young man

In reply to doosra
I think you saw this coming

In reply to Chrissy

Very happy for WI win.

In reply to Chrissy

he a good soul

i can't be more happy today

What an amazing performance indeed. Hope this instills the belief that they can become great.

Hopefully Windies fans will stop trying to drop players after the first innings.

In reply to Chrissy

Well done WI. Hope they keep these young guys together and keep them motivated.

Congrats Guys.
Somehow I felt something special would have happened and having fallen asleep during the Oz vs SA female match ( which allowed me to charge my battery) I stayed up to wash every ball in this gripping match. In any event, with such excitement , it's no way I would have fallen asleep!!.

What a match!!! And all this nonsense that Test cricket is dying. No ODI or T20i match can put one's emotions thru a roller coaster like this match did.

Last time we won in Australia 26 plus years.

What made this sweeter is that there was zero expectation of us winning.

In reply to Chrissy

Indeed

And let's not forget to attribute the Head Coach.

In reply to voiceofreason

Indeed most of us just want to see competitive play from our team. This is most welcome win , historic and.....

In reply to Commie
So nice to see you.
I am watching your investments coming through.

By di way this thread was started before di match was finished.

In reply to Drapsey
Love Andre

I am very happy for coach Coley

In reply to doosra

Imagine me.

Folks. Do you realise that we bear the world champions with more than a day to spare???? When last has anyone done that to Australia??

In reply to PalsofMine
Yep

Amazing feeling!

In reply to Chrissy

I have great admiration for folks who lost sleep watching West Indies.

Great victory!

We need good fast bowlers to win consistently. Our cricket administration must focus more on producing world class fast bowlers.

I must admit that this came as a total surprise to me I was giving them credit for scoring a moral victory by just taking the game into the 4th day.

This was far beyond my wildest dream, given the makeup of the time an playing the premier team in cricket. Guess that why they actually play the game.

This game is not played on paper! Kudos to the team!

In reply to cricketmad

Yea and good spinners for conditions. See England vs India for example
They have some ingredients to work with

In reply to nitro
We stay awake because we know there will be moments like this one and we don't want to miss them.

In reply to Chrissy

Yeah, sorry I missed this one.

In reply to nitro
Highlights

This WI team has similar attributes, and must be congratulated for their outstanding performance, which no one ever expected. They have won many hearts over, including the Australian team and public in similar vein to that team of 1960-61 led by Frank Worrell. Congratulations!

In reply to Chrissy

Yes. Both are Dominica Academy graduates.

Now to keep them hungry and balance their careers.

In reply to Commie

I like what I see

In reply to Chrissy

Very Proud of them

In reply to Chrissy

Baracara glad bag buss!

In reply to googly1961
Just like ours- nice to see you

the Australian team and public

Kudos to the Australian team /public. The Aussie team displayed uncharacteristic good
manners throughout , no obvious sledging /gamesmanship on display . The Crowd supported
the lads throughout ...good sportsmanship was on display and the Aussies concentrated on just
playing their normal hard cricket.

Perhaps it was in recognition that this was a team of "lambs" expected to be easily trampled, run over.
A competitive series was desired for the business end of things TV advertisers , crowds etc.

This is not to take away from the performance of the lads by any means ...they rose to the occasion and
played unrestrained cricket . The second innings Aussie take down was similar to that never say die attitude of
our gladiators past.

The ball is firmly in in CWI's court (again!)

Hopefully , someone , somewhere is doing forward planning to keep this team and momentum going.

Nice read
