***Official*** West Indies in England (Pointless 2 T20 series for Sky's benefit)

[marc71178]

I see the West Indies have named their squad for the 2 games at The Oval and I am disgusted at how many of their first choice players have opted out of the tour.

I find it intensely disrespectful to the World Champions.

 

[Spark]

Lol'd at the title.

 

[centurymaker]

UNACCEPTABLE!!

In cricket there is no place for players opting out of tours.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Looking forwards to the complaints about the cold.

6.30pm start on September 25. It'll either be cloudly and therefore dank and miserable, or sunny and therefore cloudless overnight and freezing cold once the sun goes down.

Get ready for some of the worst T20Is ever played. What a shame it would be if it meant fewer of them played.

 

[smalishah84]

What? The top players opting out of a tour? Sacrilege !. They can never ever be forgiven

 

[smalishah84]

And this grave insult to the great Island nation of Britain never be forgotten

 

[Howe_zat]

I can't be alone in hoping for injuries and failures for these players on future tours, and my planning to post about nothing else twenty times over.

 

[four_or_six]

I highly doubt we'll be playing our 1st XI either.

Silly matches really, but unfortunately has to be done to sort out the Stanford mess.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Disgraceful by West Indies and an insult to the home of cricket.

Come on, England!

As an England fan, I usually quite like West Indian cricket, and would normally be neutral during a series like this. But the level of contempt shown by West Indian cricketers towards the Twenty20 tour of England has so soured the feelings of me and a number of my friends (also England fans) that we'll all be cheering for England this series....

Yes, England cricket is awesome these days, but we certainly didn't need a number of West Indian 'stars' to rub our noses in it. The fact that they did means that we'll be cheering every time a certain West Indian player is bowled, or a certain West Indian bowler is hit for six.

Here's our blacklist:

Whoever doesn't come

We will all be cheering any time any of those fare badly (unfortunately as they won't be here, that will limit our opportunities but I'll be damned if I'm not going to bleat about it like a little girl)....

Our commiserations to West Indies on their forthcoming loss.

FTR, we're all united in acknowledging Sachin Tendulkar as our favourite Indian batsman, with Gambhir close second, and we are glad this duo didn't visit the West Indies - give the ****s a taste of their own medicine. Good luck also to Dhoni, who skipped the ODIs.

And may Zaheer get loads of wickets in the future....

But in the end, we really hope England wins.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm starting to spot a theme.

Last time I checked it wasn't an infractable offense
