Mike, Crime Wave inc are guaranteed income regardless of performance from the ICC so
" why does competitive value mean so much to you ? "

the fact is we just won THREE won titles in a row last year.
you need to drop that shyte! That was LAST YEAR!

and no, those wins were not because of the changes that took place. It was because of the natural talented players who played!

In the last 25 years, do you notice that most of the time WI youth team has always done well but most players failed miserably at the senior level? Do you chaps at the helm ever asked yourself why???

right now we are shitting in our pants against Afghanistan!!! A team that is ranked so low on the chart that we need a microscope to see them. Yet, they are in our house slapping us around.

Pakistan just beat the crap out of us and left! India coming to humiliate us next!

I guess some in your world calls that FORWARD!

I f**king dont!

Khans 7-18 has to be worth something, lol. Tbf 3 titles in one year is better than all the other teams....but non appearance at the CT's worse.

Intimidation as a tactic stopped being effective at the highest level of the cricketing community decades ago, with the advent of the 2 bouncers per over rule.

Who will Crime wave Inc's 1st xi intimidate after the Afghans have learned to play pace :?:

Tactics are part of infrastructure, no, part of management and coaching right :?:

In fact, is there any element within the 6 territorial boards that is NOT a part of infrastuture, the quality of cricket commentary and analysis, the information provided by cwi's website, the expense involved in travelling from one island to another.....


Better yet, either 60% of the infastructure really has BIG holes in it or real improvements HAVE actually BEEN made in PCL, HPC, home and away fixtres in S50, with leg spin coach's, fielding coaches, wicket keeping coaches, off spin coaches, pace coaches, higher umpiring standards with greater accountability, pitch quality, disciplinarary procedures, tranparency, increased spectator interest and attendance, credible and financially beneficial sponsorship deals, FULL TV coverage and analysis, suitable training euipment, kits and facilities, adequate travel arrangements, accomodation, contracts based on merit, a 3rd umpire reveiw system in PCL and S50 crcket etc but the two opposed and cannot occupy the same place or time. ( bear in mind you must act like losing to Afghan is not irregular in order to further this train of thought )

Fielding coach lol.

"West Indies would've liked to stick with the same XI, but Shannon Gabriel is out of the final ODI courtesy a side strain he suffered during the second ODI. Kesrick Williams has replaced him in the squad. Williams is yet to make his ODI debut."
