Hope was able to win a toss or 2 an bowl cause its evident our bowling attack are patently incapable of defending any total set against this OZ unit ...an i predicted 5-0 in a previous posting unless we was able to chase!!

There are no mights and maybes AFTER the fact

EIGHT plays ZERO

Not what might have happened
Just what actually happened

Most senior person in charge is either the head coach, or the head selector…oh wait

WOW. Something new to blame..THE TOSS. Yep we lost 8 in a row, not because we suck, but because we can't call right at the coin toss.

Stay on point!!.....Windies batting in "t20's" is quite clearly their strength i think everybody knows this including OZ obviously ... don't u think they possibly might have snatched 1 or 2 if they won the toss an bowled???

I think so especially in St. Kitts I think it was difficult to set a target and they over compensated by going too hard at times and ended up collapsing!!!

Last night’s game was a perfect example because the pitch wasn’t the easiest to bat on but because Australia knew what their target was they just had to have a decent power play and they knew the game would be over despite losing wickets!!!

Let me ask a question, Does the home team not spin the coin or the rule has change since I last played a cricket game?

Nice to know that your head is screwed securely to the rest of your anatomy?

that is the thing. Our best bet is to bat first in test cricket but last in white ball cricket. Turn it around and we are just a well oiled losing machine.
