0-3 vs England

Hopefully some form of redemption awaits in Ireland

Lack of preparation perhaps?

Not to mention the coach by numbers.

Too early to really tell.

Plus…….the team is the team. With the bowling we have……don’t envy him.

Our batting hasn’t exactly stepped up to the plate either. And our fielding is below average.

That’s really on the coaching……not so much on the skipper.

Shai Hope should NEVER have been given the t20 captaincy. It was a slap in the face to Powell. ODIs yes, t20s a resounding NO!

! Maybe they ought to include a genuine spinner like Warrican in the set up! Our pacers cannot restrict international batsmen.

IMHO Our preparation for tours has always been lacking
I believe more time should be spent getting ready for tours given the warm matches of the past has disappeared

Not much difference.between Ireland and west indies but anything outside 3 Victories would be a disappointment

Wait a minute, you don't seem to like our batting, bowling, fielding or coaching. That doesn't paint a bright future for West Indies cricket. There are too many minuses and not enough plusses which makes for a bad equation.
