unfortunately I decided to watch this (another) version of the soap opera "watch us lose" written and directed by the West Indies cricket team. Imagine the #8 player- who is selected primarily as a bowler, makes 50 runs in 20 balls 'Yay!!' and the players selected primarily as batsmen #s 1-5 fail to make decent scores. and again- did you check the expression on Gayle's face. His body language is just dreadful. Not inspirational or motivational at all. what is he doing there? the man is selected because he can bat and make runs, and when he doesn't and the rest of the team doesn't his comment is:'the rest of the guys didn't step up'. Of course they didn't, so why didn't you? His attitude is each man must contribute so why isn't he? something is wrong - again- with this team. they are not playing like a team at all.
The 2-tier system of rating is sounding better and better. maybe if the Windies team has to work hard to gain the 'honour' of playing in the first tier of teams, this may mean something to them.
Shame again. How long will the WICB hear the cries of the supporters without reacting? These people must act. Cricket is dying and the crowds are disappearing....unless of course you are a
stupid supporter like me and keep hoping that 'this time' we'll play to win. HA! that and GOD face!
