Don't play for West Indies, instead play in a franchise league, and Book your spot on the WI world cup squad.

What a turnaround in perspective from some "supporters". A complete 180! cool

@imusic

Really and truly Shai Hope has played all formats for WI for the better part of 2 years and deserves an opportunity to make some change. Rutherford is doing well and on the back end of the SAT20, and we play them next week. Some of the others were rested. We have one more series vs RSA so I expect all of them to be available.

Did you miss the larger point...on purpose? DWL.

They don't want to be like Gayle, nor Samuels( who actually gave up franchise earnings for WI test cricket); nor Bravo.

Hypocrites and parasites!

Anybody who thought West Indies would win this series away to a full strength Afghanistan team with 7 of their starters out are either delusional or verly optimistic. The objectives of this series is ;


1 To test the fitness of players returning from injuries: Hetmeyer,Shamar.

2 Find two openers or perhaps a reliable middle order bat. King is already there but we need one of JC or Evin to show up.

3 See if Motie one of match-winning spinners can catch form and confidence.

4 Can Khary be an able back up? Maybe Sammy should call up Vitel Lawes or Micah Mckenzie ?

5 Build our reserve pool in case of injury.


Would not surprise if we lose 0-3 but if we get 1-2 that is a bonus to the objectives. I will take it.

Sampson gets a spot on the squad to SA & if he performs well, take him to the T20i WC.

Ain't NO WAY you believe that BEFORE the series started only after we lost the first 2 games and you're trying to 'save face.'


I will always back Wondies to win against Afghan, Bangla, Zim, and other minnows EVERY SINGLE TIME we play dem regardless of who are in our team.....


If you really and truly believe what you posted above... then... your standards is REALLY lower than I thought and you truly deserve all the flak you catch from others about "Trust the Process."


Ain't NO WAY, JOSE......

@FunnyMan

Hey Funny Man you living up to your name I see. Afghanistan are no loner minnows and are world beaters and surely favorites heading into the tournament.


Unfortunately Sampson did not make the cut.


Springer

Johnson Charles is our only WK back up option.

Athanaze


Too bad Ackeme Auguste is injured.


Thu, Jan 22, '26 at 4:32 PM

Do you ever go into ANY series thinking this side would win anything?

and that’s always ok ???

Thu, Jan 22, '26 at 4:37 PM

@voiceofreason


Lewis has to be there!

Then the luckiest cricketer in the WI, J Charles as we need a backup wicket keeper

Aljo - depends on his form!

Thu, Jan 22, '26 at 5:38 PM

@Jammal22

I think that Athanaze has passed Charles as the luckiest cricketer in the West Indies

4) Leave the youngsters alone

3 Motie goes would like French man to be there too. Shamar should go and not juat based on today's performance juat thay he'd good ik the death and can bat . De Springer one I mean


Charles me aint know im thinking ok Lewis injury prone but Charlea juat wooshing at everything thay cant work for me. So have a batsman who can come in most likely when Lewis gets injured. Thiugh if really like to aee him play all games for us. Cause though we team might start slow, as seen took two gamea for them to learn to bat, bowl and field and even them 3 games atill not enough when we good we hard hard to beat.
