Opiss Gibson : " Man Up "

Phrases such as "embarrassed" and "lack of fight" were at the forefront of some home truths

after the Test had finished shortly after tea on the third day :

with 16 wickets falling on Friday !

"'Embarrassed' was mentioned. 'Lack of fight' was mentioned.

Those are things you don't want to be hearing too often in your dressing room," Gibson said.

"We haven't heard those things too often in our dressing room recently.

We have played some pretty good cricket.  :-[

India was tough for us, but we are making it tough for ourselves here.

"Any time you see a wicket with grass on like we have here, especially this one where the ball

swung as well, of course you expect better from your attack when you win the toss

and put the opposition in.

You don't expect them to make 441 "

Gibson said.

"What it's teaching us is a certain set of skills we have to acquire, which we haven't nailed down yet.

In the Caribbean the ball swings for two overs then you have to make it move off the surface.

In New Zealand it swings for much longer.

It's evident from what you see on the TV that we aren't getting it to swing."

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

After 10yrs Best is a 40 avg test bowler, Deonarine is a 35 avg ist class player,

Sammy is a 36 avg test bowler.

When you persist with such players over many years you will get the results we are getting now.

Is that so difficult to comprehend ?

They may have the odd good game or series but are not class players at test level.

Neither is Fidel.

If Ramdin is the best gloveman then he has to stay until a better wk/batsman comes along.

Perhaps now RR Sarwan will finally be recalled to stiffen the middle order batting.

i think that the coach has to go because he is not doing nothing to improve the team


Is Ms.Itwaru , our Calypso  ::LOL::

Ottis coach contract was renewed after 3 years at 300 K U.S dollars .

we were beaten by an Innings inside 3 days by a LOWER ranked team !  :-[


Is the WICB getting Value for their Money ?

If there is one man who deserves to be put in front of a firing squad and wasted---that man is Otis Gibson.
