[shake d livin wake d dead]

so much for 5-0

[Dizzy28]

I called 4-1. But I was thinking WI take the 1st 3 then lose 1.

[trent]

so much for 5-0

WI needed to win by 5-0 to gain 5 ranking points, a 4-1 series victory would give them only 1 point...
I'm so dissapointed

[uncle sam]

allyuh rel confident in that 4-1 .. what if WI lose all 5.. lol

[speedmelter]

seems like when i called 5-0 before the series started i made a typo in favour of west indies.

[hydroep]

Bangladesh 292/6 v West Indies 132 (31.1/50 ov) Bangladesh won by 160 runs.

Jesus Christ!... .

WI need to play Edwards/Best to rough up them Bangladeshis...They along with Permaul were the best bowlers in the Test series

[hustla_ambition101]

:shock: WI need to play Edwards/Best to rough up them Bangladeshis...They along with Permaul were the best bowlers in the Test series

dunno why they switch to a losing side, those guys they switch to are more T20 players

dat is cut arse,
Australia have to climb everest to win the test.

[trent]

SA batsmen beat them Aussie bowlers as if it were a one-dayer licks like peas

[speedmelter]

i somehow have the feeling that australia may do something special... but south africa wows. to sustain a run rate of over 5 per over for 111 overs is insane. 569 in 111.5 overs is just crazy.

and west indies picked a really shitty side. im actually backing bangladesh now to give them 5-0. and imagine they are without their best play sakib.

^^^man done jump ship ahready oui ...lol

[speedmelter]

^^^man done jump ship ahready oui ...lol

i just disappointed to see the performances. them men playing like is school cricket. just going tru the routines

[trent]

Yeah i hear yuh...let's hope they get their act 2gthr for the next game

[speedmelter]

australia got raped. sad to see that pointing took so long to realise it was time to hang up the boots.

[uncle sam]

I think WI need to drop the specialist spin bowlers for some Fasties. The Bang. train win mostly spin bowlers. Why give them what they know?

[speedmelter]

narine has been bowling poorly, dunno what has gotten into him, his stock line is suddenly outside of off and the batsmen are reading him and using the angle of spin to play him with ease. then he tries to compensate his length and bowls too full. hes deadly when pitching the ball dead on off and letting his skill do the rest.

[Dizzy28]

:shock: WI need to play Edwards/Best to rough up them Bangladeshis...They along with Permaul were the best bowlers in the Test series

But the biggest problem is not bowling but batting. In two matches so far they have batted 45 overs in one and 32 in the next. It doesn't mater who bowls if the batsmen continue to give away wickets cheaply.

[trent]

^^^ True but if the WI bowlers could bundle out Bangladesh for 150 runs or less, then WI would hav a better chance of winning
WI batsmen are currently strugglin to cope with the Bang. spinners whilst Bang. batsmen are pickin Narine pretty well, it's the faster bowlers who were getting the wickets in the Test matches.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

oh well Australia,small thing,hope they perform better against the windies.hardluckbaipontingbai.

We can't depend on that in every game. Besides ODIs have always been labelled as a batsman game. So our batsman need to come good.
