Recently, I read in many articles the concept of closing 20's with your first two rounds, including Thermonuclear cricket.  While I believe there are some exceptions to the rule overall it is a sound strategy. I feel the longer you wait the greater your chances of losing the point battle and ultimately the match. You'll never trump T-20's with T-15's. As a matter of fact if I find myself in that battle, I'm going right to cork.

wat you guys dreaming of..improvement ::confused::

the problem is in the principle..exploitation.  it is the same globally except in england and elsewhere there is still room to pay players well enuff to keep then playing

the situation is worse in the west indies..less money and more hungry and brutal administrators.  these are capable of, and very prepared to exploit the situation in the bare-boned, scorched earth way that is necessary to have a bureaucracy and pay themselves as they need to.

in the west indies it ie either the players are controlled and forced to take wat they get..or they get up and revolt, changing the way the game is administered from the ground up.

dats right!  in the west indies with the CWI it is pay for pittances of revolt.  Revolution!  or enslavement.

hahahahahaha

the absolute only way we go get good west indies cricket again is if the admin changes.  but you cant get good admin on the exploitation principle.

if you have an admin they must be paid...and big time too.

but pay dem from what ::confused::  they do not produce any wealth on their own. 

well they have to tax the game/players to pay demselves.  its the same everywhere but elsewhere as I sad has resources yet to keep the situation on an even keel.  but its getting there as well in the rest of the cricket world. 

that is why we have cricket unions everywhere and disputes between players and admins everywhere

in the west indies such administrative taxation means to skroaks the players and impoverish the game..to fatten up the admin. 

and the admin expands  all the time to keep itself alive..expansion is life..stasis and contraction is death.

which means at the same time the admin becomes an onerous resource burden on the game/players, the admin buys social influence by the amount of people they employ.

they pay poorly I am sure, save at the top.  but its a job... in a jobs poor region.  and no one wants to loose their job.

the only way to have cricket again is by removing the admin of the game as an exploitative principle..which is a contradictory principle rooted in the fact that the exploitative admin produces no wealth by its activity.  it must exploit the game if it is to survive.  exploitative admin is parasitic then, they must convince the game that they are necessary to the game, essential for the games survival

such admin is not essential at all..absolutely non essential.  it is a parasitic admin, lying all the time, cutting the way the game in payed in its jurisdiction to suit its own survival..not necessarily in the interest of the success of the cricket it produces on the field

the only way to solve this problem is to place the control of the game in the hands of the players themselves..in the hands of those who create the wealth itself. there is no other answer that works

so the west indian elites have taken the cricket and formed a draconian administration over it, and forced it into a corner where they take the relative pittance the game earns and uses it for the benefit of the admin, paying their salaries.

this results in the enslavement of the players which kills the energy of the sport.  there is no energy in the game anymore...as renumeration and glory.  the admin has sucked all of that into its own pockets, turning away the real talent in the west indies into other pursuits that may offer better rewards

and those who do play the game are and will never be good enuff to return the game to its former glory.  sucked of energy we will have teams like the current groups they send out on the field who frankly speaking are embarrassment compared to the teams that went before them

but the admin does not care.  it surely has already worked out ways it can survive off the cricket even it it is reduced on the field to dead last of all and every team that plays cricket in the world.  and the CWI are almost there. 

the ICC structure and the socialist way money is disbursed amount the elites will surely keep the CWI bureau going.  then there is sponsorship, government grants and some revenue form touring, taxes received from the various T20 tournaments around the world for the participation of west indian players.

yes there are many many sources of revenue they will conceivably tap into for years to come to keep themselves alive as an organized administration paying themselves big salaries at the expense of the game.  but on the field the game will die as a quality west indian product choked-off by the very bureau that grew around it in administration of the game

and the sweet irony!  it's nigs nogs who did it..doing it now in front of our eyes.  not the white planters, nobody white at all..long gorne.  its not forriners in invasion of the west indies who take we cricket and shaking the life out of it.  it is we weselves who did it/doing it

we doing the very same thing with west indian countries..squeezing the life out of them.

ketchim look at dat eh.  wat is worse for nig nogs, what and who is harder on we..white racism or nig nogs demselves ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.
