West Indies Problem:In a Nutshell - ketchim - 01-21-2015
That New Zealand tour is viewed as an aberration because of poor sportsmanship, and it was reported
West Indies players were so angry with the umpiring on the1979-80 tour of New Zealand :

that they basically stopped playing,
dropped catches on purpose,
and let balls go to the boundary. ...

As young batting stars, Darren Bravo and Kane Williamson had similar averages until recently.
However, while Bravo has been disconcertingly absent from cricket twice recently for unknown
"personal reasons" click
Williamson has stepped up to the point where discerning judges reckon he could become
New Zealand's greatest ever batsman.
Bravo can certainly learn from Williamson's ability to put a high price on his wicket,
because for such a talented batsman, Bravo tends to get out to many soft dismissals.
Re: West Indian People - ketchim - 01-21-2015
Dwayne Bravo and Andre Russell are equally good allrounders as Corey Anderson and
Jimmy Neesham, but a combination of injuries, T20 league clashes with West Indies fixtures
and poor decision-making by the selectors has denied West Indies their services in Tests.
Neesham scored hundreds in his first two Tests, which is certainly something Russell
can strive to replicate........................(as outlined by Clive Lloyd
)
Re: West Indian People - ketchim - 01-21-2015
Denesh Ramdin and BJ Watling are of similar ability !
Trent Boult, Tim Southee and the pace of Adam Milne vs trio of Ravi Rampaul, Jerome Taylor and
Kemar Roach: can certainly rival the New Zealand three.

The obvious area of difference between the two sides is player-board relations :-[

good thread. that is indeed the problem.... the raspy relationship between board and players due to the boards rape of the cricket. we do not have a run or great players as in the past but we can do a whole lot better had we a true nationalist administrative organization that looked after the cricket first and not their own interest as a bureaucracy instead.
that's it. the behavior demonstrated by the wicb as a board first has alienated everyone since 1995, especially the players who now do not care about west indies cricket at all.... and even less about the board itself. they do not play hard when they are selected..and are constantly on the look out for opportunity to set themselves up first, and dam west indies cricket
they have seen the board do that at every opportunity for the board..not for the cricket..and by now they will not sacrifice themselves in any way at all for the west indian game that has been stolen away from the people and put to use to feed the board members. and worse of all the west indian people do not appear to care. so what the hell is there to fight for... save oneself?
that is it in the nutshell cracked open right deh fuh all to see. man have to look fuh demselves
