@PalsofMine

We were learning something last year. Didn’t you see at Brisbane how Da Silva, a compulsive hooker, did not play one hook shot in his innings of 75 after coming in at 45-6? And also how he, hodge and Sinclair battled to get us to 311, a target Australia couldn’t match. That was a very Aussie innings. Fighting like cornered tigers under pressure. And Shamar utilizing intimidation to pummel the aussies into submission. Again, a very Australian brand of cricket. Unfortunately, we’ve changed management and we can’t only bat on the flattest of wickets. The bowlers though have kept the knowledge they learnt in Australia

Why should WI cricketers have to look to any other nation to see how test cricket or any other form of cricket is played for that matter?


didn’t Oz adopt our form of test cricket from the Lloyd era?


is this some kinda joke?


wasn’t WI test cricket leading team for 15 odd years?


didn’t we win the first 2 ODI world cups?


2 T20 world cups?


an ICC ODI championship trophy?


a women’s T20 World Cup ?


an under 19 World Cup?


why would we need to look beyond our own shores


wunnuh is a set of jokers who can’t and don’t believe in unnuh selves


always seeking validation from others


unnuh could really piss off with the bovine scatology

We need to study our history and take the winning ingredients from there

Validation is kind a strong.
