Saunders only got to 50 because he had better batsmen to bat with...in the last match, he was 20 not out in a team that had lost seven wickets.
:roll:
This is so embarrassing...the only way to ensure that St Kitts-Nevis bat out 90 overs, and thereby give the England bowlers a workout, is to pack the home side with four touring English batsmen, and two of them topscore for the hosts. Bairstow made 98 and Root made 87 not out....

Yeah just as "embarrassing" as when your country gave us county RESERVE sides to warm up against which were made up of youngsters and half fit bench players the last time we toured there!!..but of course you didn't run your big mouth back then did you? which further highlights where your real loyalties lie :roll: .

FYI, when we toured England in 2009, we played a match against the England Lions, which is their A team, and they beat us by 10 wickets!

Do you know what is embarrassing? That England had to pick four batsmen to prop up a team, when four West Indian batsmen could be there, getting valuable international experience....
:?
To make matters worse, Trott bats for England, as well as St Kitts-Nevis:

LUNCH: England (27 ovrs) 69-2 with Cook 22* and Bell 18*. Dismissed were Lyth 23 and Trott 2
Bowling Boatswain 6-2-21-2,

SIGH!!..SENILE SIVA FAILS TO FATHOM WHAT "THE LAST TIME WE TOURED THERE" MEANS SO TRIES TO BRING UP 2009!!..what a surprise :roll:

And i know you ran from this question in the other thread so i'll ask it again...YOU SAID YOU "DON'T CARE ABOUT WI ANYMORE AND YOU ONLY SUPPORT JAMAICA'S CPL TEAM" so why are you so concerned about this warm up game and who plays? or were you LYING again? :|

Cook's 22 today has certainly outdone Boycott's batting RR... I mean he was that boring to watch. He eventually retired and gave Butler a chance to get some batting practice but the runs weren't coming at all. Having to face WI medium pace trundlers along with one of the English medium fast, Liam I think, the paltry 2.6 RPO was inevitable during the morning session.

It appeared to me that an Englishman was controlling the WI team and decided which bowler was going to bowl and not only that but they were giving advice to the WI bowlers during the overs. While this may be good for the young players, it however, speaks volume to the depths where WI cricket has reached.

Apart from Bell who played a few fluent shots, looking at the others made me realised that it would have been more profitable to watch Geoff Boycott playing in a T20 rather than Cook etal

An absolute disgrace. Why on earth are there not widespread calls for the immediate resignation of the person(s) responsible for this farce?

Thanks for the on-the-spot insights, Keith....

Interesting to hear you comparing Cook to Boycott....
:P
What's your problem, Afro? In 2012, the same thing happened....
:roll:
We played a match against the England Lions, and again got hammered by 10 wickets:

What about the game against the county reserve side? :? and the only reason they gave us the lions to play was because we allowed them to play in our 4-day competition previously!!....something you appear to have forgotten!! :roll: .
