Bishop digs deeper hole again for Sampson

Bishop digs deeper hole again for Sampson

Started this time by Badri

Then elaborated again nauseatingly by Bishop. He did it 2 years ago pre-CPL final, Guyana vs Trinidad.

Now he says the world knows about it, through scouting, and the cloud.

..................

“Why pay a tactical analyst when you can just turn up the broadcast volume?

It is truly a philanthropic masterclass. An batsman is struggling, and before their own coach can even grab a iPad, Ian Bishop has diagnosed their exact mechanical flaw on live TV. Need to take down a world-class bowler? Don't bother studying footage; just wait for Bish to map out their precise tactical blind spots to millions of viewers. Opposition dressing rooms don’t even need to do match prep anymore, they just need to plug in some headphones and let Ian Bishop give away the entire blueprint for free.”

We have some fcking dumbarse posters here...😡

the West Indian commentators are the only ones to initiate discussions about their own batsmen weakness

I am still awaiting word of CWI batsmen strengths ....so no coaching report states they all swing for cow corner with straight bats and cross swipes. 🤨

After the long critique, the Indian commentator had to chime in, "Are the WI coaches working to correct it?".

That's embarrassing all around.

These are just emotional outbursts from posters. Technology finds out any deficient international player.

Stop this crap. It is not cerebrally sound.

I just asked AI "what is Quentin Sampson's weakness as a batsman?" This is what it churned out:

Vulnerability to Extreme Short-Pitch Delivery (The "Bouncer" Trap): As a hard-hitting batsman, opposing teams have exploited tactical weaknesses in his handling of aggressive, high-pace short bowling. A prominent example occurred during the 2025 CPL final, where the Trinbago Knight Riders successfully neutralized Sampson by using Andre Russell to bounce him out, resulting in a catch at short leg

Yes, Bishop reminding the opposition of the flaws of WI players, he is a double agent,
