and try to learn anything???

Has the coach downed tools?

do the players have to watch Oz and try to learn something themselves??

games simultaneous so unhelpful in the first place

@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

A lot of people dont like australia sledgehammar style of cricket .but i like it they are aggressive ,bold , fearless not timid sheep .that is what the wi should take away from them

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

@sudden

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

@sudden

Validation is kind a strong.

@sudden

Sudden, I want you to read your own post carefully. You have no problem in saying that Oz adopted our formula yet you are up in arms about us learning from Oz. Why? Pray tell.

@PalsofMine

So why can’t we learn from the originals, ourselves?

@sudden

good point

@PalsofMine

Man stuck in the past

@sudden

Because colonialism did a serious job on the people of this region. Indigenous solutions are rejected, foreign solutions are given instant validation even if they don’t make sense in the countries they are native to. Remember IMF SAPs that did nothing but create a generation of lost West Indians crippled by poverty and the retreat of the state

@velo

Australia style of cricket too does rely on cheating in clutch moments as well eh. Every time they’re under heavy manners they resort to dishonesty: claiming a grounded catch off Lara when he was scourging them, blocking Campbell in that final odi where the Bachan crowd exploded on them and they cowered in retreat, sandpapering the ball when AB and Faf was beating them to a pulpy mess, Alex Carey not walking when he clearly edged a delivery behind. They couldn’t cheat in the WTC final because they were never in the game after Ramada and Jansen rolled them over in the first innings

Something we agree on

wow

wonders never cease

@sudden

a Brazilian writer of the 1940s and 50s named Nelson Rodrigues coined it Mongrel Syndrome. During Covid, the son of a local writer was suggesting to the state that the CBTT print money to offset cash flow shortages……and his rationale was that three countries in Eastern Europe were doing it and seemingly successful, even though this went against all sound economic sense at even the most basic level
