Ah mean you have to fight the opposition, then you have to fight your own board. They put the opposition to play at venues where they are most comfortable. Then you have to fight your regional curators. That is terrible and it has nothing to do with players and coaches.
Not disappointed in the coaches or players
It's an inferiority complex that we must get over. Make decisions for the benefit of our cricket always.

Yeah. And Pakistan won the toss so even that went against us too.
@imusic
You seem to be in a much better mood today than when West Indies won that 2nd test in Pakistan.
@methodic
So you resort to juvenile retorts.
Disappointingly typical of you.
@imusic
I am only stating a fact. Back then you were ready to demote the two teams to tier two.
@methodic
Perhaps you should pose that hypothesis to the spectators at the ground.
@methodic
Not disappointed with coach or players...
BUT DISAPPOINTED With YOU
@Onionman0
Well boy! I even more disappointed in you. It look like onion ain't strong enough, you have to try garlic.
We toured Pakistan recently. Pakistan prepared two pitches that turned more than any in test cricketing history. The pitch was so bad that the Pakistan commentators were asking each other if this is right! The pitch turned so much that even the Pakistani batsmen couldn't bat on it. After the match was over the pitch was still turning. It cause meh partner imusic to turn on the West Indies.
Now West Indies get a chance to win a series 2 nil against the same Pakistan at home; they prepared a turning wicket while they boast a menacing pace attack. That QPO wicket still turning because now you just stay so and turn against me and the West Indies.
@methodic
I don’t think there are any pitch curators, grounds men, soil engineers in the caribbean who can deliberately prepare a certain type of pitch
@imusic
music ah remember you in 78 when you was still just ah youth. When Croft take 8 for 27 and Pakistan was on the ropes. Zaheer Abbas stand up and made a fifty and you ran out to the middle and presented Zaheer with some money. Ah was sitting in the Carib stand, yuh remember that?
@sudden
I don't know about that! Jamaica and Kensington use to prepare fast tracks. So what happen,, dem fellas dead? There was a curator from Antigua who said he can get recreation ground to turn at anytime. He did so to the demise of Lara and the West Indies in a 2nd innings chase.
@methodic
