Cricket Anyone / Re: England tour of West Indies 2019:1st Test

« on: January 25, 2019, 01:57:56 PM »

This  current  West Indies team is real heart attack. Out England for 77. Now their 2nd innings is 127 for 6. It would be crazy if England was to come back and win this match.

288 runs later with an unbeaten double century by Jason Holder (202*) and an unbeaten century by Shane Dowrich (116*), I hope that your nerves are settled, lol.

With 628 runs for victory, there are only two results probable: a draw or a West Indies win.

The crying and whining was such a sweet sound to my ears on Fox Soccer. The former US player says "No one gives a sh#t about US winning the Gold Cup"

Cry on dude, cry on.

Payback is a b.

Serve the stinking yanks right for what they do we with putting the match on their home turf above sea level AND not releasing our players until the very last moment for the home qualifier.

Allyuh enjoy watching the world cup on TV!!!

Looks like the Knight Riders have to play an extra match for the chance to advance to the final.

This has been a very disciplined bowling performance by the Patriots.

They have turned the corner for the 67th time. if they do the usual then the next test they will lose by 8 wickets or 200 runs. Hope I am wrong.

One thing that has to improve is the catching. I have never seen so many spilled chances. With that said, England dropped so many catches as well. For a side that normally catches so well, I am astounded by England's shocking performance in the area of catching.

Don't look now but... 

West Indies have turned the corner.....

Seriously, what an astonishing result, with five wickets to spare and overs to spare to boot.

It also seems as if a jumbie was preventing both England and West Indies from catching well.

Cook alone put down two catches in West Indies' second innings.

I hope this is not mere aberration and a sign of things to come.

With Shai Hope, though, one can only hope (sorry, I could not resist  ).

Yep. Perhaps Whitmore should have brought on some fresher legs earlier. The winner was the result of a tired defence.

The fact that Jamaica did not lose its composure and equalized after conceding a goal very close to halftime is a sign of the mental strength of this team.

West Indies U-19s are 91-5 chasing 146 for victory.

I have witnessed three very stupid shots.

West Indies seem to be allergic to being content with singles and twos.

This is very interesting discussion guys. Everyone has made some strong and persuasive arguments. However, I am inclined to agree with Bakes. While the new President cannot be completely held blameless in this matter, the approach by Kenwyne Jones and his teammates is unnecessarily hostile and combative to a fledgling dispensation.

As one who has had to contend with dysfunctional managers, I have in fact made the same error as Jones et al made in my less experienced days by being prematurely aggressive in how I voiced my discontent with the status quo.

Even from a purely strategic point of view, Mr. Jones should have at least contacted the new President and documented it, as documentation is a critical facet of business correspondence. That way, it can never be said that he did not try to use every available avenue to resolve this dispute amicably.

The West Indies were 66/6 in the 24th over of their second innings, following on. A very ominous scoreline indeed and indicative of the wretched state the West Indies are in.

My outburst has me embarrassed; I tried not to swear.

But I have seen too many winning positions given up by us switching off at the wrong time.

Dem fellas cyah afford to switch off until the final whistle

this

I was getting visions of that match we drew with El Salvador or Guatemala after being up 2-0 a few WCQ'ing campaigns back. It was the match in which Stern John missed a penalty which would have put us up 3-0.

This time, we were not burned because Guatemala left it a little too late to pull a goal back.

However, there is some room for improvement in terms of clock management with a lead late in the match.

Nevertheless, there was no misfortune on this Friday the 13th for our warriors.

« on: September 16, 2015, 06:29:31 AM »

i am hearing all kinds of irrelevant things but what i am not hearing is whether or not kamla conceded in terms of "did she drop the inquiry into the elections going one extra hour, or is she still going through with it?"

i think it's very disrespectful to the nation that she didn't make an official speech saying that she has accepted defeat and will not further pursue the court proceedings in regard to the legitimacy of the election results. honestly i think the actions of this lady it is my sincere opinion that she is petty and void of class, specifically to concede on social media especial when she has access to so many mainstream media outlets.

does this speech amount to the fact that she's done/ through /over with the inquiry into the election legitimacy or not?

That is precisely the question. How can Mrs. Persad-Bissessar concede for the second time on facebook and then have the UNC legal team go ahead with its challenge of the election results on the grounds of the EBC's extension of the polling division close times?

Isn't she an attorney? Can she not see the inherent contradiction in her public statements and actions?

I fear that she is becoming mentally unstable.

I am not an attorney and do not pretend to be one, but even in my layman's eyes, Mrs. Persad-Bissessar and co. do not have a case even on the basis of elementary logic and reasoning.

As many other on here have pointed on here (and indeed across the whole country), who on earth could the Partnership have ascertained whether or not it was ahead in the vote count at 6:00pm on Monday 7th September?

In its hot and sweaty haste to create mischief and potentially undermine the new government, the Partnership does not seem to realize that it has just opened itself up to a very troubling line of questioning. If it was aware of the vote tally at 6:00pm, then the question of fraudulent activity in the elections becomes a real possibility.

Also, the Partnership appears to have accepted the EBC's ruling when it was initially announced and is only now belatedly making this challenge.

Goodness grief...

Kams, Kams, Kams ... the ill-fated EBC mission amounts to nothing more than an ill-advised squandering of goodwill and good sense. Not a good look!

Mrs. Persad-Bissessar's personal stock plummets by the second, never mind the hour. Boy, the way the Partnership is behaving, one would think that they were comprehensively defeated in the recently concluded General Elections. The Partnership still has eighteen seats, enough to exercise a significant degree of influence in the passage of legislation.

In its desperate efforts to invalidate the election results on a logically and constitutionally flawed basis, the Partnership seems to have forgotten that it is still a very significant player in the affairs of this country

Because PNM supporters actually voted against Manning last elections. Think about it.

Yep; many PNM folks voted for the Partnership in significant numbers, resulting in the comprehensive margin of victory for the Partnership in the 2010 elections.

Many Partnership supporters accusing the PNM of racism in their voting patterns seem to have developed a convenient case of amnesia.

I would like to congratulate Prime Minister-Elect Keith Christopher Rowley, his family and the entire PNM organization on a successful campaign. As Dr. Rowley stated in his speech, there is the need for the entire country to be unified as we attempt to tackle serious political, economic and social issues.

I hope and pray that Dr. Rowley maintains the spirit of humility and cooperation as he seeks to exercise principled leadership over the affairs of state in Trinidad and Tobago.

Some of the acerbic comments from external sites referenced above signify a need for a move to bring reconciliation and healing to a country under the perennial yoke of various types of social divisions.

I will pray to the Most High that He guides our new Prime Minister in all of his decisions

Very good match in attack; the speed of the Mexicans was too much for our midfield and defence, and the altitude did not help either as our defenders could not seem to get any decent tackles in.
