Why Phill had Daren carrying water for about 2 years round the test team when it was blatantly obvious that WI needed a number 3 bat.

Should have been in Pakistan


Agreed. Since Hetty can play spin so well....has he learnt to not miss a flight yet?

kraigg is comfortable because nobody is holding him accountable for poor performances.

I believe it to be the environment, I have been writing about it since I followed the young man.
My Antiguan brother told me about it in 2002, this guy has taken every coaching course as a hobby, and after returning to Antigua, he saw the standard of the coaching and stayed away from cricket for his health.
Some people are enablers and want to be seen, Kraigg and others are surrounded by many of them.
Fuzzy accused me of joining with my brother the Musicman, when I criticized Kraigg for batting two days and scoring 175 not out against England, that is unacceptable.
My experience as a Suzuki parent taught me about children's development and training, cricket is a professional sport, it is treated as a sport of the 50s.

Exactly....head to the top of the class. west indies still getting on like its the 80s where marshall and co hadda run down video footage of players. today, you have analysts directing your technique frame by frame......and it has been that way for some time..i remember watching a series review of the 95 frank worrell trophy and Bobby Simpson talking about the times they anticipated lara would make an error from the footage they studied. is like what we really doing in the west indies boy?

Lara and Sarwan actually had more bigger partnerships than the lara/chanderpaul combo.


The Sarwan and Lara combo was indeed a more fruitful combo than Lara and Chanderpaul. 12 centuries at an average of 55 compared to 9 centuries at an average of 47. Sarwan and Lara combined well, in particular, in Sri Lanka 2001 for 3 century partnerships, 2 double century partnerships against England, at the ARG and Edgbaston, in 2004.

What is particularly poignant is that Sarwan, Lara, and Chanderpaul feature in the most successful partnerships, after Greenidge, Haynes, and Richardson, who were the most successful for WI in terms of runs scored. This highlights the prowess and reliability of these 3 mainstays of the middle order in the mid-1990s to early-2010s.

he was when he was younger and slimmer and quicker on his feet. His playing of spin was the first thing that impressed me when I saw him in the U19 World Cup

I feel, Bishop not breaking down, off the top of my head he was probably in the top tier of fastest to 50, we would have prolonged our decline.

43 matches 161 @ 24.27. I maybe wrong, as it look to be fastest to 100.
