Discussing a particular test and how WI can improve and all I see is insularity and history hahahaha. Riefer has been around WI cricket roughly a decade so is he too learning on the job? I guess it is a sin to say Campbell is still too loose as an opener. On challenging pitches vs tighter bowling he'll out early more times than not. King was a better bat 5yrs ago. Credit due for picking him still

Well, I can tell you, I saw clips of Campbell as a 13-year-old against Pakistan u13 with Azam who was 12y.o at the time and I swear that Campbell could have open for W.I senior team at that age. Also Kyle Mayers was hitting sixes at will and swinging the ball both way with good control.

But due to lack of an Academy type set up, they were not moulded properly and have to do that at the highest level. See the past 20yrs as exhibit A.

Good positive intent from the pair of them.

If that was Kraigg and Tage opening, it may have caused problems for the batting.

King and Campbell have featured in 3 century stands this year alone and the best you could come up with is another Ump would have given him out and you have the gall to talk about objectivity? You are becoming a bitter, bumbling ole fool. Get a hold of yourself before it's too late. More pressure to come.

HA HA HA!

Ain't that a bitch!. It really doesn't matter to some folks here when it comes to West Indies cricket because of the existing insularity.

If King and Campbell had failed and the West Indies lost, there would be a conversation about changing the whole team or how they cannot bat.

The openers provided a very good platform for this win, but some peeps are actually concentrating on why one of them was not given LBW at zero, or looking at their overall averages.

This is crazy. You cannot make that shit up.

Rather than a congratulatory nod, they look for negatives. SMH.
