In CRICKET, it is vitally important that key PLAYERS

- such as Captains and Former Captains be able to

IDENTIFY what the CURRENT REQUIREMENTS of the

TEAM are.

As well as the RESPONSIBILITY that they carry on their

shoulders - as former TEST BATSMEN.

Jamaica Scorpions were in a WINNING position, with

John Campbell and Jermaine Blackwood at the crease,

In both the FIRST & SECOND innings.

It took massive doses of SELF-SABOTAGE for us to

fall from such lofty heights - two innings IN a ROW.

In the first inning, all that was required was for

Blackwood and Campbell to take us safely to TEA.

Jamaica Scorpions would have taken TEA, at approximately.
200 for 2.
After being sent in by Leeward Islands.

For any other CRICKET TEAM on EARTH the final season

would simply comprise of Blackwood and Campbell

grinding the Leeward Islands bowlers ... to DUST.

As long as Blackwood and Campbell are at the

crease, Leeward Islands are FORCED to play

DEFENSIVE CRICKET

Few close in fielders ...

And bowlers must bowl to slow the scoring rate.

Cricket is a psychological game.

As long as Blackwood is at the crease LI was forced to play defensive cricket?

A dude who's barely averaging over 30 in FC driving all that fear into teams?

I think its the other way around... Blackwood probably got a fear of staying at the crease lol

When the guy scores runs it should be considered an anomaly.... because its a rare sight, his performances in the first round might be it for the tournament lol

The game was lost when Blackwood got run out we are one genuine batsman short that's why I struggle to understand why Jermaine Johnson does not get a game.
Royal or Barnes needs to step down. Like fi like I'd say.
Anyway I was hoping when we destined to lose that Jewel Andrews and Carty together would knocked off the runs. They are the Windies future.

One can only draw a conclusion that Jamaica has turned its back on the game of cricket.
The messaging has been out there for a few years now for those paying attention.

Good luck Yadi
I know you’re very passionate about the game especially at home.

Well Powell just finished in ILT20.

Maybe he will be back, if not for the next game, the one after.

I can;'t wait to get the big guys back.

Powell for Yardies
Hope, Mayers, Chase, Holder & De Cucaracha fa Bim
Hetty, Rutherford and Paul fa my Mudlanders.

The Jamaican middle class and the sports folks talking about SuperBowl parties.
Meanwhile I am struggling to find ortaniques but foreign fruit are available on nearly every freaking corner.

Jamaica is in real doodoo, private coastlines mostly foreign corporations.

Pay attention to what Guyana is doing for the sport of cricket. The CPL had hotels and airbnb at full capacity years in a row.

Many people gonna cry when the West Indies team will be dominated by Guyanese in the future.

Only Tribal folks are concerned about team composition. I think most folks who love windies cricket would do cartwheels if a Guyanese dominated team can return us to the glory days.

Hety definitely unavailable.

Most likely Sherfane will be unavailable too.

Keemo already told them that his body can't handle 4 day cricket anymore.

The only player who might be available is Motie.

That’s the truth and in more than cricket - Sadly Guyana is heading di same way wid deference to the foreigners and the same insecurities and licky licky behavior that makes dem all want to be in the know.


For example - my only interest in the Super Bowl is whether they boo di convicted felon.

I thought it was over confidence by The Scorpions they always seem to do it, a match they should have easily won.I don't think they were serious
