* Back in the old days, WI players used to dominate shell shield.
* It was difficult to get selected for the West Indies team-----lots of competition.
* Today you have young batsmen averaging in the 30s in first class and then getting selected for the test team.
* Regarding the bowlers---Look at Gabriel---he has a first class bowling average of 30+----no way he should be playing tests.

So do people want WI to win this or what? Also @Rev - I don't like Opiss either, but at what point do we start giving credit to the coach again? It seems a bit unfair to enforce a lose-lose scenario surely.

NZ 221/10
* WI bowlers doing their best to keep Gibson as coach
* Let's see if the WI batsmen want to keep Gibson as coach.
* The queens park oval wicket is definitely bowler friendly
* It will be a shock if WI batsmen can reach 200.

[size=14pt]OK! The WI suffered another test series defeat. They lost to NZ 2-1. So where is the blessing in this series defeat ? Looks like Otis Gibson will be rewarded with a contract extension by the WICB for his pi$$ poor leadership as head coach.[/size]

* Looks like the WICB may be doing some house cleaning.
* In which case the series defeat was, indeed, a blessing.

As we all know the WICB has not been one to penalize coaches for poor performance by the team and series defeats whether at home or abroad. I hope the WICB will finally take a stance and get rid of Gibson as head coach. When the board gets serious about getting good results and holding people accountable for poor performances then the West indies team will start making progress.

ALL other International cricket Coaches in # 1 ~ # 6 Ranked ICC TEST teams:
have been changed.
Opiss is the ONLY exception.
