Thank you Sir.

Seems a lot of you do not watch enough T20 cricket? We aren't that bad bowling unit regardless...

With all due respect, West Indian cricketers are quite confortable with binary thinking. Our problem has always been spectrum thinking and thinking on our feet and coming up with logical decisions.

In this match, we had no choice but to swing for the fences and this time it worked.

There was the absence of choice in this match..

Phew!!!

I did not see the match. Was there any shit today?

Congrats West Indies...against all odds.

This was a very good match...West Indies came out with purpose, great power play...and kept the pressure on. Execpt for Shamar, the bowling was excellent

Maybe Shamar needs to rest a little

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Would you say that a change of attitude in the powerplay made a major difference and further, in future, once the opening batsmen have assessed that there are no demons in the pitch they should not be conservative in their approach?

They made a good start in the power play and set up a good total. Played attacking and still only lost 3 wickets so it’s not an either or situation like some binary thinkers here.

Arsedeep got his elbow smashed by Shamar so that was cool.

An Indian ump was fair for once and get nuff cuss from the men in blue for a clear stumping. Dem men take their catches- it was a nice win- man work hard. Maybe they ignored Ravi advice.

I was only trying to make sense of what a poster here believes the current West Indies batting strategy is and he gives it tacit endorsement. The strategy as espoused by the poster is to lose few wickets in the power play and accelerate with wickets at hand towards the end of the innings.

Perhaps this is an example of the "binary poster."

Is this the same guy who is conservative enough to ‘lower his expectations’ to a 5-0 so that even a nearly win is like a trophy?

they see scoring fast as guaranteed wickets; somehow scoring fast at the end doesn’t seem to scare them- more fielders out to catch the boundary balls, sometimes I don’t know

😁😁😁

Conserative you say?

I have a different assessment and perspective of the "binary" thinker.
