But we expect players to score runs against the best team in the world.

Have any of our players been given time to play cricket and correct their errors from that disastrous tour?

West Indies cricket is a joke!

In what world can this team ever defeat India when our players have not played a single game of test cricket at home in months before this tour

When was the last time Tagenarine Chanderpaul played FC cricket? But he is now in India facing Bumrah

Our domestic cricket structure is designed for failure

And AUSTRIA would also buss our tails in 2 days even though they do not play cricket. The diehards here will eventually accept that cricket in the Caribbean is dead and ded. There is no interest among the youth. There is very little talent and where it does exist there is neither brain nor commitment.

Do the youths know what West Indies cricket is?
Is it just the youths or adults who experienced the success of the 70s and 80s have also tuned them out?

I saw where the JCA President was ecstatic about landing an international limited-overs series. The stands will be empty, so what's the point of the exultation? I can imagine the primary school kids will protest being forced to watch the nonsense that will be on display.

At the very least, they will learn how to clap.
