Must I believe that we like what we see? How they play? Why is it that no-one seems to complain or care? Do not tell me that the focus is on football now. This failure has been going on endlessly. We cannot “like it so!” There must be some changes! Gayle continues to suggest that “we have to do better the next game,” or “the batsmen let us down,” or “the bowlers let us down” etc. These have been Gayle’s diatribes for eight losing efforts in this South African series. Something; I think everything; is seriously wrong with this picture. These people are supposed to represent the nearly eight millions who still live in the Caribbean and several more millions in the diaspora overseas. I really do not know how anyone can take much more of this. As some people suggested, loudly, during the recent ICC W-T 20 in Barbados, when the West Indies lost so badly to Sri Lanka; “They should be put up against a wall and shot. They are useless!”

deport him soca fighter...fuh this above here?
naw! he scored a lot of points in that note there so he safe fuh now!
he wrong in not seeing ganga whole! ganga has done a lot at the regional level in cricket for the westindies and he is apparently very popular at home.
Kamla playing politics with that and trying to buy off ganga for future possibilities. she about winning elections is she not?
but from what I see all the criticisms croftie makes about Dowlin, Ramdin, Rampaul, nash are correct.
nash surpised me with his approach at #3! that was stupid as a westindian kid from the boonies like Fletcher for example. just because yu at #3 yu supposed to be Kanhai and play a game yu never played before?
Ramdin is in trouble, not becuse he is talentless but because he is not a mature player and it has gotten to be too mch for him. wicketkeepers do not mature early as a rule in international cricket, save in exceptional cases. ramdin is not one of those exceptional cases. if Ramdin is in trouble we all are in trouble for there is no one mature to turn to. all we have as alternative is the idotic Baugh!
Ramaul is a definte disappointment...a total disappointment. I am so pisssed with rampaul I would lose him in the pack, screw up the road signs to make it hard to find he way out and back into contention. by that time he should be fit again, smarter for the experience and ready to give it the try he should have been ready for 2 years ago.
I would never have dropped pascal for Ramdin this time around. that was a mistake! at this time Pascal is one to play around with.
another mistake is Dowlin. that is clear as day! Dowlin is not good enough. he is also on the wrong side of 30, so why the persistance with him?
one clear answer emerges...loyalty. Hunte is loyal to the scabs who played for him during the labour dispute. he cant select his main man the one he would really like to...Reifer. so it all falls to Dowlins benefit.
the man who should be selected now that he is fit and the relative success he had in the limited overs games is Dale Richards...if the selectors wish to protect lil Bravo a bit longer!
I would give it to Richards as he is a bona fide opener and a much better batsman than Dowlin.
I am not with Croftie on Narsing however. I have watched narsing play, bat field, bowl and I am down with him. he is a very decent all round player, good skills, who tries hard all the time. Narsing has the right attitude and we need him in the side or around it at this time. he does not do folishness so he is a good example.
I knew he would have problems with short bowling from steyn and morkel. but who does not have trouble with steyn in particular? narsing handled the Oz well enough. they werent the problem steyn is. so narsing has to work out a way to deal with steyn. I am sure he can! at least I am certain he will try!
it would also help if there are better starts at the top. and the way to deal with that is to try again with Dale Richards. Narsing usually bats lower down in the order away from steyn at his most fresh. he has been put at #3 in emergency and he far more than nash was the man to try there...and he has delivered. he is a real batsman who can move around the order. narsing is technically, and ability-wise, a much better batsman than nash. Narsing is worth selectoral persistence at this time
so the side for this test match should have been: Gayle, Richards, Narsing, Shive, Nash, Bravo, Ramdin,
Shillingford, Benn,Roach, Pascal.
this 11 should be the side for the last test, unless conditions warrant bowling changes...or taylor is fit or some such thing

croft is a skunt...a Tittie skunt just like Ends...posing as Dave400 
Did Croft really call for Simmons with a 14.5 test avg to replace Deo with a 32.4 after 1 test? The same Simmons who can't get a look in the A team? Crofty is a official insular Tittie skunt just like Jaydee et al ah tek back the Jaydee bit, he/she is my fren
