Yeah I have no idea what the WI Cricket board is trying to do from one year to the next, Seems they are always in dispute with the national side and that's lead to a coupe of their most talented players Pollard and Darren Bravo being dumped by Clive Loyd . Its not good for the Windes with their board always acting up.
Well Gayle has stated he wants to play in the T20 world cup next year so you wont get your wish.
Good posting as always beamer, shame that you have to put up with performances like this from the Windies. Even in the absence of 5-6 first choice players, it was a pretty handy squad. I suppose with a brand new skipper it was always going to be hard to achieve any sort of cohesion. But by not selecting Roach for this game, and on top of that underbowling Taylor I think they never gave themselves much of a chance in the match.
Read it. Wasn't disappointed.
Taylor and Holder are both a bit Ol' Man River IMO. Bowl 'em out before the 35th and rely on Russell and, erm, yeah...
You can be loyal to the bitter end, but you can also give credit where credits due.
There isn't much wrong with his post. He said Well done Blackcaps. And then bitched about his own team and offered some excuses why they didn't do better. And he is right if we were missing players the calibre of what they were missing we would bitch too. When we lost in the champions trophy final against Australia we all complained about missing Vettori and Ryder.
Like the back-to-back ashes. I think some NZ fans and WW have just seen too much of each other.
He's too much fun. The world is boring when everyone is logical and modest.
Enough with the moralistic crap. Last time I checked, this wasn't the set of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air (much to my chagrin. also, I add that having met Jono, he's got a lot in common with Carlton)
That's true; but even with the players of calibre would the results been that different for the WIndies? Sure they might've done better in the pool play but NZ simply has a better team overall.
Maybe they could have come 3rd and not gone up against the blackcaps....or maybe even 2nd...
When people repeatedly knock a player down like Blocky has with Guptill, so vocally, over and over, in rather vicious ways, it's obvious it's a pet issue for them and the agenda becomes so unbearable its sweet justice when they go out and score a double century in a critical match to go some way to proving that they're wrong.
And played SL, AU or RSA. They could be a shout to beat SL if so.
Given the amount of Blocky talk is it possible to please reinstate him? It seems only fair to let the man have a chance to reply. No doubt he'll be big enough to acknowledge he was wrong about Guptill, he certainly wasn't the only one who had doubts about his role in the team.
