Yes, but if you make enough crazy predictions eventually one has to be right...

And this Test is a perfect example of why you don't drop class players just because they're having a bad trot.

LOL @ questioning whether Chanders and Nash are proper cricketers.
Some things never change. And some things I truly do not miss.

that's something i certainly haven't missed too!! , I was merely talking about the teams performance in the first Test, being all out for 102 was schoolboy stuff and simply unacceptable!!. |

Like I said, make enough crazy predictions and one will eventually come right. However the other calls (such as dropping Chanderpaul and Nash) kind of outweigh the one success (if 7 wickets @ an average of over 50 can be called a success) |

because i've been calling for Shilly to play since he pulled up trees for the A-team a few months ago,Secondly i simply think it's time for the younger generation to get a chance, as good as Nash and Chanders have been in this Test they were shocking in the last one, Collin Croft has called for the seniors to be dropped too, a legend of a bowler who knows the game inside out so do you believe you know more about cricket than he does? .

There are countless former cricketers who say you don't bleed entire set of new players at the same time. You think you know better cricket than all of'em? You know what don't bother to answer that, you do think that. |

Actually Gayle and Benn are friends. Or were anyway before the bustup.

Very pleased to see the WI carry on after Gayle was out. I feared a Windies collapse, especially with Chanderpaul looking terribly scratchy at the beginning and Bravo coming in at 6. I do think WI have the best chance out of the two teams to win this game, though of course, an incredibly small chance. Best bet would be to notch up 600 asap tonight and see if they can make inroads into the SA lie up. Unlikely, but it could happen.
I think it's incredibly unfair to criticise the 'senior' players after they improved on their previous performance in the first Test. Had they scored mountains of runs in the first test then bomb out here I think it'd be fair to be up in arms, but this is clearly a good sign to see Chanderpaul and Nash back in the runs after a deprived stretch.

NO problem with blooding young players but they've had to have been playing well for at least two seasons. Chesney Hughes does well for the rest of this season and next and I wouldn't mind him getting a chance. Bravo does well next season and I'm all for him getting a chance.
