Cricketing gods conspired against us.....Greaves injured an couldn't bowl was a huge blow...

Chase injured finger not completely healed hence could only bowl a few overs ...then King gets injured an can't bat...so it guh...shared series 1-1 better than a loss!

Big disappointment and loss

@bird

A loss is always disappointing but have to examine the circumstances I've already alluded to ....unless ur in the camp that believes we should win under ANY circumstances an dnt believe Greaves not being able to bowl was a big thing nor Chase only able to bowl a few overs nor King not able to bat in the 2nd inns an Hodge having to open!

WI allowed them too many runs in the first innings. Dont think Warrican especially bowled well enough. He is still bowling too slowly.

@spider

Bowling too slowly or too fast? Anyways we are 2- 1 -1 in 2026 so not bad. Really should have won this had we restricted them in the first innings but our bowling was wayward and short-handed.

@voiceofreason

Seems like everybody is declining to mention the absence of Greaves from the bowling attack an how significant that might have been!

@CCW

Really??? a team on a 9 successive away defeat streak thump us in 4 days isn't a great loss? Every WI supporter should be thoroughly disappointed.😥

@Brerzerk

why not address the circumstances that I've alluded to....or is it irrelevant!

@CCW

Dude take a break .... you are venturing from the absurd to now being pathetic!!

@Kay

what is absurd dude... pls explain???

@CCW

Wow.. that’s the thinking

We had an opportunity to win a series but didn’t assess playing conditions, no analysis of recent history just playing same team because we won with them.

@Poggy

Yes we misread the pitch....usually I'm more uptight about a loss but not so much on this occasions for the reasons ive alluded to ...an btw I'm NOT a member of the Darren Sammy fan club just trying to be objective an tek emotions out of it.. too many peeps wrapped up with their own agendas an many not making a whole lot of sense!

Other that Justin couldn't bowl all the rest are variables with little or no added values...

@Cricket_101

...an the heavy strapping on his thigh could also have impacted his movements when batting ...not only when running!

@Brerzerk

Absolutely right, especially, given the fact we have not beaten them in 23 years, and blew this golden uppertunity, really really disappointing
