Our million dollar stars failed us!

Simple.

Pooran and Hetmeyer got out recklessly and then Pooran snuffed 2 chances to dismiss Livingstone which could have exposed England's untested middle- lower order and Hetmeyer also did the same. These guys picking and choosing series to play is not helping our chemistry. Sammy you need to make that clear to them. If they are not playing overseas they need to make themselves available! Personal reasons is played out!

They missed the Lanka series, Pooran opted out of the ODIS vs England which could have been a great chance to get some form for the T20IS. All this shite about 100 more T20IS is falling on deaf ears without the requisite commitment!

Sammy get this right or these guys will bring you down!

I here wondering the same thing. Them shots being played...

Have no pride whatsever even in their appearance the english guys are fit and slim . some of the west indians look out a shape and carrying around extra pounds you have to be fit as a professional sportsman

In reply to natty_forever

Don't worry they will soon get their wish if they don't ship up/shape up they will be shipped out.

Sammy also need to make a decision about Russell. I really thought that last World Cup was his farewell so why persist with him as he is on decline and injury prone?

In reply to voiceofreason

Chase and Russel need to make way

Its just a lickit game and win toss and win match.

Why are you guys putting so much juice into this.

Just shows the limits of Franchise cricket when determining the true worth of a player.

Hello Emir pardon your disinterest but this is still our most successful format in the last 20 years and this is England.

Club and franchise cricket is different from internationals!

This series is the evidence!

Come on now...there is always a... why?

Maybe the batsmen don't care because they know that regardless of how much they make, the team has no bowlers of national standard much less international standard. The truth that so many refuse to accept is that the cupboard is empty and has been empty for a long time. In T20 cricket it is so short and so fast paced that one mistake and it is over. Plus in the day night fixtures, winning the toss plays a major part when dew sets in. Win the toss, play properly and win.
When you really examine the 2 T20 World Cups that we won, it could have gone either way. Has 'remember the name', ever been able to do anything close to what he did to win that game, before or after? It was a once in a lifetime fluke. Many great players talk about being in the zone. These zones have eluded us for some time now.

Bin the starlets!!!

Bring back the real master- Darren Powell…shot bai!!!!

Slappedddd!

Did CWI pay them a million dollars ?

i
When a previous batch of million dollar men delivered 2 world cups....Sammy got all the credit ....even to today......Sammy batty lickers keep boasting about his superior man management skills.....but where are those skills today?.....how come he can t get current million dollar men to perform consistently as a team?

To be honest....if Powell don t deliver a Toss win....we are facing a 5-0 whitewash. Forget all this talk about continue to go hard in the powerplay even if you get out ..... the fact is the top order looks clueless batting first.

BTW.....'niggle' has become a buzz word in WI cricket....like 'a feather in de cap'...implying you are a hard working player who needs a rest OR is niggle the politically correct way of saying you are dropped?

Yesteryear Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes used to score tons with real niggles.. Going even further back...Kanhai and Sobers always played with these so called niggles.....

In reply to sgtdjones

CWI did not pay them but they sy=ure did put them in the position to earn those millions.

One Man say he want to play 100 more T20IS! Does he have the commitment to do so?

Maybe they don't want to play for Sammybig grin

When I watch Powell going to battle alone...I won't say what I thought

Some billion dollars stars failed..... India lost series ODI to Sri Lanka.....test series 3-0 to N.Z. ...but all calling for Head Coach head.....

In 30 years, it was worst....the billion and millions dollars stars failed... Manchester United was lying mid table... But Head Coach got the matching order.....

Failed in ODI World Cup qualifier..
Failed in T20 World Cup 2024...

All because of millions dollars stars..

But, time for Head Coach to start matching!!!!
