3rd Test: West Indies v England at Bridgetown

Quote:I think Viv makes a valid point but it was more to do with application. The English attack is not the best but quite a challenge for the West Indians who are not prepared to spend time at the crease and work hard, something they could learn from Shivster!

thats right..exactly what I expect:  Intelligent reasoning from Trickies. 

where is dat Guyanan test with the mout' here.  I hope eh cyan read ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

Y'all never SWING a ball in your Lives.

Trickie comess and picong are NOT technical understanding of Air movement :

of a 4 piece versus 2 piece construction.

Mail leading you like a Mook with a nose ring 


"where we saw some slight movements and seam movements in the air and things like that"  he said.

Ramdin cant keep pressure up without the supporting Cast.

ViV would be better off calling out the Selectors ...

well I agree..but he must not resign is what I am saying.  that will do his rep no good.  but resign he does..or appears to do on the field when the english dig in. 

the game from the west indian side meanders until wickets fall as if by attrition, or rate by time...a batsman..or batsmen such as most of the english can only bat so long..4-500 worth of runs....

which is much more than the west indies can make these days

ViV should demand a Leftie Quick : that would be a more constructive suggestion...

Change the Ball , Viv : jeeeezzzz , maybe a Note to Viv would help  :-[

“I had a grounding with my two and a bit years working with Sri Lanka,” he recalled wryly. “The first time I was there the board was dissolved three times. One night Muttiah Muralitharan told me I was sacked and the next day we were all reinstated. It was a motivational way to work really.”

good one !  ;D

Quote:I accept different balls can perform differently but both teams got swing and in the first test we had 3 wickets down in each innings within 18 others so it is not as if the ball was working against the Windies!

yuh have time to write all ah dat Mail.  the game is there on youtube for all to see.  let him go watch dem again..the 2 tests

it have nutten to do with no balls...2 and 5 piece construction nutten!  it takes men to with ability to propel any dam ball, no matter how it is made, this way or dat way... better or worse

Holder was moving the ball, second innings in Antigua all over the place..at times square tuh rarse. Holder bowled a ball that cut right into first slip hands.  but he took no wickets.

the only way fuh Holder to take wickets is not how many pieces the ball is wrapped up in..but to put an engine in it, dat Holder alone controls to make the ball do what he tells the ball to do... not what he can do with by his own brains and physical skills.
the skunt cyant do much dat way. 

now if its a computer and he can control it precisely...den we may get wickets from him...rather the pc in his hand

I don't think the West Indies has been in too many positions where Ramdin could have used aggressive captaincy to get a result. I agree that he seems to lack the killer instinct that some of the best captains have.

The WEST Indies is the home team and yet they are complaining about the pitches working against them? Why England can bat on these pitches to score 400+ runs but the West Indies struggle to reach 300 runs? Stop blame everything but the players.
