He is not learning.
1 fielder on legside (short fine leg)
Just break ya wrist and push balls on the stumps to leg.
Instead the idiot hit them straight to the bowler.

From his u19 days he's shown himself to be that type of player. But he has ability to further develop a la Shai Hope

One game down. Did not see any of it. A lot of work to be done. First of all win, toss and bat first.

Hopefully this should motivate them:

From Kathmandu, Pokhara, Jhapa, and all the way to the peak of Mount Everest and the Annapurna range, the Nepalese cricketers have achieved the unthinkable! This is a historic first win for the men in blue and red against a full member nation, a victory that will resonate across the country. The team showed the courage of the highest spirit and the willpower of the mountain areas. What a monumental moment for the nation to secure this win! And look at the hundreds of Nepal fans in the stands, continuously cheering and shouting for their team for four hours or more! You simply cannot write a better script. Nepal, this is your moment to cherish, your moment to enjoy, and your moment to thrive!


Time to win the series!

Whats the purpose of the Head of Talent ID (Jamal Smith), Jerome Taylor (Whats his claim to coaching?) and Dwaine Gill there? Don't have money to support the WI Academy in the SUper50 but these men on a joy ride!

Thanks VOR for that post, this shows how POOR the West Indies team is. Imagine we are the first full member to be beaten by these minnows. Typical West Indies, it was to be expected. This rot needs to come to an end and it must start with management.

West Indians are their own worst enemies

Hetty
Rutherford

and to lesser extent Rovman. We need one senior batter in this squad

Hettie apparently was unavailable, only he knows the reason. Our full strength team may have found a way to lose as well. We are the laughing stock of the cricketing world, everyone's punching bag

And the absurdity of the tail wagging the dog continues, unabatedly.

The big question though is whether this loss to an associate team, Nepal, is considered worse than the test score of 27.

@Drapsey

This loss reflects the everything that us WI cricket:

The apathy among senior players due to internal politics or chasing franchise leagues to the detriment of our cricket

The lack of depth in our reserves due to limited cricket. Hopefully the breakout league will bear fruit in due course

Lack of proper development programs suitwd to producing WC players
