    ***Official*** West Indies tour of Australia, Jan–Feb 2024

    Those old boys like Holding must be so annoyed at people like him taking pleasure in putting down WI. It's like they're bitter, because look at him literally RUNNING lol

    ***Official*** West Indies tour of Australia, Jan–Feb 2024

    He won't do that again, every runs count! I was shocked when I checked the scoreboard and saw it as a West Indian because I know every runs count and these batters need it. Pat isn't experienced enough tbh with tough games like this, you can't expect to just beat opponents like that. I remember...

    ***Official*** West Indies tour of Australia, Jan–Feb 2024

    Yes, he first toured and showed success against Ponting I believe, that's how long he has been toiling and doing well. The next best solid performance from WI was maybe 09 when Gayle made 166 not out.

    Good example of how Stats can be misleading - A comparison of captains.

    Good example of how Stats can be misleading - A comparison of captains.

    Which Test captains had the greatest effect on their team's fortunes? (thecricketmonthly.com) I saw the above article on cricinfo's website and thought to myself, I bet Clive Lloyd is going to dominate this greatest effect assessment. The man regarded as one of the best captains ever barely...

    Imagining four Archers = Frightening

    I agree with all points above, especially classing Archer with the greats just yet. But this is why they didn't lose a series. This explains all those 5-0 wins and 4-0 wins. I am too young to have memories of watching all four pace men during the great era of WI cricket, but just watching Archer...

    Imagining four Archers = Frightening

    It must have been demoralizing facing West Indies in the late 70s and to Mid 90s. Batsmen must have been so tentative, super careful, fearful facing these brutal bowlers back to back. When you analyze the bowling avgs of WI bowlers in the 80s, they all averaged between 20 to 23 runs per wicket...

    10th Match - Australia v West Indies

    Another bad call against WI. What about giving the batsman the benefit of doubt? Ball was clearing pitching outside leg and there's no way the umpire could say for sure it pitched in line when it didn't. It's like a LBW in which the ball hit the pads and the umpire thinks it's going on to hit...

    Umpires clearly aren't looking for no balls anymore lol

    10th Match - Australia v West Indies

    So sad for Gayle. This piece of **** umpire clearly wants to sabotage WI chances by targeting Gayle. So ****ing pissed.

    *Official* IPL 2019

    I will never forgive Kohli for dropping Gayle. Let him suffer these humiliation defeats. He's not a genius, just a good batsman. Indians better stop worshipping him.

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Where is Narine ? Dude just vanished ? Wasn't he even opening the battting in T20 as well ? This series would have been a lot more competitive if WI had their better players available.

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    The key difference in this test is the first innings spell b Wood. The moment Broad and Anderson took over the bowling WI seemed steady again. Even with good bowling by Broad the WI batters could survive. Very interesting that WI even made 250 plus after being 10 for 3. WI batters are showing...

    ***Official*** Indian Premier League 2018

    it's his reward for winning many games for them. It's insulting how they treat considering he has the best T20 record. Essentially the bar for success is higher for him, apparently if he doesn't win the tournament after scoring 500 plus runs in the season he isn't worth it. Look at sewag with...

    ***Official*** Indian Premier League 2018

    I'm sure that Kohli has something to do with it! He's easily the most consistent T20 player in the world yet they pretend like he's an average player with low paying contracts and always hesitant to select him. The owner of the team wanted him in the first game and they didn't even play him...

    ***Official*** West Indies Tour of the UK 2017

    Congrats Jimmy! joining an elite club. What's interesting is that it took Walsh 17 years to play 132 tests while jimmy only took 14 to play his 128 lol England really play much more cricket these days.

    West Indies Test Team vs T20 Team

    All-round records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo Bangladesh - other bowlers likely took the wickets before he got to them. Haven't played in a test since 2013 and after 6 test matches and 2 five wicket hauls it's unclear how awful he would be.

    ***Official*** Australia and South Africa in West Indies ODI Tri-Series

    Three in the top 10. WI without Gayle and Bravo. Bravo for Benn, and Gayle for somebody at the top. Sammy is not in either and he's good in limited overs. That catch from Pollard was special too, only thing could have made it better is if it was taken low down lol
