Russell get farewell, but none for Roach?

That was not right , Sammy and Shallow. Both should have gotten a farewell, in particular Roach who has been more loyal to WI cricket. No problem with the farewell but it should have been done for Roach.


We need to do better!

Is a wonder I not hearing the Yardies complain about this.

In reply to voiceofreason

What about Gayle?

In reply to voiceofreason

Yardies will run to the hill.

In reply to XDFIX

He should have been given a proper farewell too but that was a different administration. Please try not to divert and distract.

How come the the not -so insular Yardies not calling out the unfair treatment of Roach?

In reply to tc1

Dem probably at the top of Blue Mountain already. I waiting for them to come back down.

Check out this thread.

In reply to Drapsey

Well well well Drapsey. The first test was in Barbados but what difference does it make?

In reply to voiceofreason

Absolutely.....obviously Russell has planned his retirement accordingly an nobody can blame him....but yes Roach is 100% more deserving!!

In reply to voiceofreason

Looks like I'm the one missing out on when Roach announced his retirement. I forgot all about the December 2024 event.

I advocated for Roach to at least play the 1st test against Australia on his home ground as a farewell to his international playing career. I felt that would have been fitting.

But the way how things have transpired, you know who would have been left out to accommodate Roach?

Shamar Joseph.

I have been critical of Darren Sammy (only because he’s St Lucian mind you). But he can’t be criticized about this decision.

The ONLY positive that has come out of the series against Australia is the seam bowling attack. And Shamar Joseph was the spearhead.

Before the series, there was hand wringing that nobody was better than Roach etc.

Well that’s been put FIRMLY to bed.

Not everyone gets a farewell. That’s just how it is. They went out of their way to cater to Kraigg Brathwaite. We see how that turned out.

It would have been nice for Roach to have been acknowledged and honored for his service to WI cricket. But at the expense of the team (as it turned out)?

The correct decision was made.

Russel’s situation is very different. Try some other form of obfuscation.

Russell was a good club cricketer.

In reply to tc1

Whatever makes you happy bro.

Apparently doesn’t take much……you saw 2 shots from your hero and got all orgasmic

In reply to imusic

Yeah. Russell never played 2 shots. Check Russell international records.
Shai is o e of our best ODI players.

In reply to imusic



Refreshing your honesty. Shallow was right.




Well the gesture was most important, nobody could have predicted the outcome although his form would have given us a hint of what is to come.


Roach in, Warrican out.
