We have never had 3 representative WI teams play on the same day before. But it would have been the same result as today. WI cricket is crap and we old stagers can be as optimistic as we like, nothing can and will change. The players lack the commitment and dedication that it takes to be a professional in today's sports world. Add the pettiness and incompetence of WI's Board and decision makers and we have the map to go even deeper into the gutter.

How can you rally when three underprepared teams show up for tournaments without prep, less than a week before the games?

Is Sammy and his coaching staff have a team in place and players in Antigua, preparing them for Australia?
This is unacceptable.

I remember a time when West Indies won Three World Cup Trophies in one year.....Posters were still cussing....

As far as three defeats concerned, Men team has 6 ODIs.... I still believe enough time to understand the mistakes and win series....simple formula...not to lose wickets in first 10-12 overs....ball gets old...pitch flattens...runs galore....West Indies lost 5 wickets in powerplay....

A- team, players got in but throw away wickets... Anderson and Wickham...Wickham was extremely reckless....he pulled a short ball, which eluded fielders but failed to temper his shot selection....too aggressive without reason...

Women....I repeat...Mathews is once in lifetime player...but her team management and captaincy is very poor....apart from that Taylor and Dottin effect...

I admire your optimism, give me a time period when you think CWI will be able to assemble a Women's team with 50% the talent and depth of
The Winning 2016 T20 Cup? CWI= No vision, nothing!

Until we have girls playing cricket at the primary level, we will never be consistent.

One game and you all done jump with you all negativity! I do not know when the A team was assembled but it has been common pratice nowadays that Touring teams get very few warm up opportunities if any.

The teams will bounce back!

Preparation is preparing the team for competition, not assembling players a few days before a tournament.
Who works with players' flaws after competition?
