1st Test: West Indies v South Africa

[mapoui]

where is Barath! wicb bullshit is in the way again. Barath did not go on the A tour and they dropped him!

why was barath sent on that A tour anyfreakin way? he should have been at home oenning against RSA in ODI...even T20

I hope they dont screw up a very good young as career.

well there is always canada. Barath can migrate help canada be a test nation in quick time!

a lot of the westindian players can do so. I wish I could help in that regard

[mapoui]

that would fix the wicb in quick time..if people like the Bravos, Barath, Pascal, Roach, Baihtwaite, Edwards, Sammy, Narsing, Shillningford etc migrate to one place...canada and give this sitaution and alminghty push and in 2 years we raise up to test level.

the lil Yardies too...Walton, Creary, Miller..Cariah from Titty, Imran Khan....

then I dont have to bother! test cricket would be right here, closde once again and I could enjoy minus the skunt westindian backward situation

12 for 3...gayle playing a t20 shot gelps the ball to his wicket

gayle get fed up fast with the sheet anchor role business. he played some sterling innings in NZ and Oz but like he tired wit it now.

gayle ent make ah big socre in a while now. like he fed up over all.

wat else when you have to open with the loyal Dowlin followed by the #6 type batsman Nash.

[mapoui]

Gayle did many good things on the field apparently...but I am still wondering why he did not bowl Narsing at all, who is a very good and tidy spinner....on a spinners' wicket!

Gayle knows this having used Narsing very well in Oz recently!

same thing with Pascal..very underused.

Very disappointed with Ravi. Rampaul is a player I looked forwadr to at the test level. I dont care how fast he bowls but he like to take wickets all the way up the ladder.

Rampual struck me as a type of player whop does not look and feel dangerous but somehow takes wickets in bunches.

but you cant take wickets if you dont direct the ball to the wicket

[mapoui]

2 batsmen in their element...Narsing and Shiv! we are at out best here. time for another ton from shiv

[mapoui]

for the second innings Gayle must open with Bravo, send dowling at #3 and return nash to #6 nash is no #3 that was not the brightest thing to try.

from #3 all else woud follow as normal. to get the best out of Dowlin dont open with him

[mapoui]

and if Barath is not picked for the next test to open with Gayle I am done with this series. I wont pay attention at all, well on my way out of westindies cricket!

I am tired of westindian backwardness, stupidity and allround jackassness!

Barath's omission is due to his not being back to full fitness due to injury....

Appalling decision by the TV ump to give Nash out!

Barath's omission is due to his not being back to full fitness due to injury....

Appalling decision by the TV ump to give Nash out!

the impression I had is that he was dropped...and I could see only baraths decsuin not to A tour due to his hamstring as cause! so I ascribe his omission to wicb peevishness, same with the Pollard noise they were naking!

[mapoui]

nash out on referreal is par for the course.

where are those who bellowed that the referral technology would eliminate the bad outs?
