Target : 346 in 87 overs !

Such a shame that they couldn't capitalise on the fight and grit shown at Sabina Park. While the collapse in the first innings opened the door for India to win this match, West Indies still had a chance to redeem themselves in the second innings, instead they folded like a deck of cards.

One step forward, two steps backwards.

some of the dismissals were just downright idiotic. How else can you describe guys getting out stumped? Or run out? Or making room to cut a good length ball? Is that any way to bat for a draw?

to my mind the west indies team ambient is determined by the Skameron/Whinds betrayal that has produced the utter financial futility of playing for the west indies.  there is no way those players are motivated playing for the west indies.

and it will be so even if they go get toddlers to play fuh the west indies, who never read the papers as to what Skameron and Whinds did.  when deh get deh fus' salary deh will arks immediately "well wat is this ::confused::  what allyuh serious.  this is kakapool money!  I din' come here to play fuh kakapool!"

even the cherubim wud know!

because deh are not motivated every 'step forward' is happenstance and all expectations of forward movement, building on success will be frustrated.... because what looked like forward movement wasnt..juss happenstance, a moment when they felt good and all around flowed and contributed to a rare good day. 

but a good DAY is all it was.  nutten more!

under this wicb bureaucracy all west indies will have future are good days every now and den that might fool the gullible into seeing 'corners turned' ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

but those rare good days will be like islands surrounded by unending oceans of crappy play.

like older, too late Leon Johnson, we must start thinking of the late great west indies cricket as long as we si'dong and let the bureau have its way.
