Mediocrity In Caribbean Cricket

[BallOil]

bai, you never hear the saying...West Indians are the hardest working people.....outside of their homeland!

funny statement that, but sadly a true one!

How do you explain this behavior though? is it an environmental thingy?

[Pandit Rajaram]

what i do know is mediocrity is achieved through laziness and poor attitude.

and caribbean cricket is infested with players who are lazy and have poor attitude.

BlackPrince:

Pandit-Ji wholeheartedly agrees with you. Mediocrity is rampant in West Indies cricket.

The Bhagavad Gita preaches:

Do your duty to the best of your ability. Whatever your lot in life is, whether it is being a cricketer or a porter, do your best. Pursue your work with action. Be focused and determined.

Over the past 16 years only 2 West Indies cricketers have followed the wisdom of the Gita---the great Brian Lara and the future great Shiv Chanderpaul.

Pandit Rajaram has always preached that every human being is born a winner, but what happens in life is people get off track, become complacent, lose focus and eventually most souls either achieve mediocrity or have mediocrity thrusted upon them.

Good lead post Black Prince! Panditji is most impressed. West Indies cricket will never recover as long as mediocre cricketers are tolerated and praised to the hilt.

Pandit_ji ...what are these players following then?

BTW, What should Sarwan do to change his luck? Nothing is going right for him lately..

Like the Black Prince said, when Caribbean cricketers get selected to play for the West Indies many of them fancy themselves as demigods. They feel they have arrived and no longer need to work hard and be dedicated to their profession. And that is their downfall. They become mediocre International cricketers.

Look at a player like Dwayne Bravo---he averages 32+ after 37 tests---that is downright mediocre---but Bravo is satisfied with his 32 test average and his fans are satisfied with his 32 test average.


RAMNARESH RONNIE SARWAN

He has a 41.73 test average after 83 tests. Let me be very blunt. I believe Sarwan has some attitude issues.

The wicb denying him a contract may very well wake him up.

I expect Sarwan to improve his attitude and to focus more on his fitness and his cricket going forward.

That might be true pandit_ji but you have to blame the system. Why are these players allowed to getaway without putting up better numbers?

Lets hope Sarwan and the rest get them act together come the SL tour.

What are your thought on the HPC team?

the boys need to be more professional. they need to take their cricket more seriously. they need to stop reading the praises from their fans about how good they are.

sars looked good today against south australia. dat was a good 70. i expect sars to raise his cricket.

so far Sars seem to be taking the right approach to all this crap going around him. He really batted well and its time for him to start playing for himself. Fuk WI!
