chokers and underperformers

It’s difficult not to get fed up with the West Indies cricket team these days. It seems as if the cycle of losses will be never ending.
After three matches of the current series against known chokers South Africa, it is the West Indies who seem deserving of that tag especially after their defeat in the second Twenty20 encounter where inexplicably they failed to score off some 60 of the 120 deliveries.

Perhaps some of the West Indies batsmen might have been tricked into believing that it was a test match that they were playing.

More licks
And the first 50 overs-a-side one-dayer brought more licks to Chris Gayle’s beleaguered team and its die-hard supporters some of whom might have died a thousand times in agony over the team’s performance.

Watching Gayle at the post match press conferences one can see that the accumulation of defeats is beginning to get to him. Perhaps one can look out soon for his resignation.

Underperformers

Those in charge of West Indies cricket too must strive to find the reasons (s) for the team’s poor performances and move immediately to rectify it.
The people of the West Indies are not going to rally behind this team forever.
The South Africans might be chokers but the West Indies are underperformers.
