Explosive batting by Polalrd....
8-)
Devon Smith laid a good foundation when wickets were tumbling around him with a useful century, while Benn and Sammy took the most wickets....

even though Smith made a century he looks like he doesn't belong there... But his ton save WI big time and the late hitting of Pollard. Other that Shiv, there wasn't much else to talk about the batting.. WI should consider themselves lucky but if they need to up their game if they want to compete with the big boys. I want to see consistency against top teams not minnows.

fit may be right.....but the team is playing terrible cricket. stupid and undirected cricket. ..wihout purpose relative to the state of the innings.

only when Benn and Miller batted out the remaining balls, taking singles did westindian purpose appear to match the needs of the game, according to the sate of the innings

beating bang holland and ireland is next to nothing. lets see wat deh do against the pommies all the way into next week. :x :x :x
