In ODI matches played by each player (No Results &Ties account for the %ages not adding up to 100) -
Bravo has a 42% Win/ 54% Loss record (69 wins to 86 losses)
Sammy's is 34% win / 59% Loss (39 wins to 68 losses)
Pollard's is 36% Win / 56% loss (33 wins to 51 losses)

I know the WI team is weak overall and a team is more than 1 to two players however more often than not the above players will not win you matches. So no World Cup or Champions trophy.

And blaming T20 is bollocks..Look at David Warner, Kohli, Guptill etc. They are all good in all formats.

Trinidad & Tobago wicketkeeper, Nicholas Pooran, was involved in a car accident on Tuesday evening around 4:15pm following a practice game at the Queens Park Oval ahead of next week's Nagico Super 50 Tournament.
The Trinidad and Tobago cricket board tweeted that Pooran is currently at the hospital and his injuries are being assessed.
According to eye witnesses Pooran was in the process of over taking a Honda CRV, but missed judged the timing and hit the CRV from behind. The dashboard of his KIA Cerato pinned his knees leading to injuries that will most probably rule him out of the Super 50 tournament after he was named in the squad earlier today.
Wishing him a speedy recovery ‪#‎prayforPooran‬

Looking to end his career before it start, hope he recovers to play again

New Zealand looking like a pretty decent outfit....a world class batsman in Williamson, very good back up to him in Latham, McCullum, Watling and an opening bowling pair (Boult Southee) whom the Sri Lankan captain equated to Morkel and Steyn.The backup bowlers also not shabby. All this with a population of 4.5 m ppl and Rugby Union taking precedence over Cricket.

And we in the Caribbean always moan about our small size and American sports being a hindrance to finding players.
Jamaica - 2.8m ppl
Trinidad and Tobago - 1.3m
Guyana - 800,000
Barbados - 285k
St Lucia - 182k

Also South Africa has essentially an all white team (Amla and Philander are the only sure picks who is non white) that is the current world's best and their white population is also around 4.5m and they also place rugby above cricket.

This is why I always hated the excuse that the Caribbean too small to have a good pool of cricketers.

[killercow]

No doubt in this. Right now we have a 95% strong side (missing Narine) against
a half-strong South Africa side and we tail getting cut good and proper.

Wha go happen in 50 overs?
(Current Score : SA = 206/4 in 17 overs)

[trent]

Good start frm WI

[trent]

What a match!!!
Good chase frm the WI

[uncle sam]

MY WORD! one of the most entertaining t20 matches I've ever seen

[equipped2ripp]

good chase, but the mid-order collapse again.
yes, this was one of the most entertaining T20I matches in recent times - most runs ever scored as well in 40 overs - 467.

[Insomniac]

I had high hopes for Sheldon Cottrell and Jerome Taylor in the test series. Sadly they couldn't perform as well as the south african seamers. The T20 side is always a favourite against any side. Good to see Gayle back in the runs. Bravo seem to have gotten back his bowling mojo as well.

[The Paleontologist]

Hard luck for Faf du plessis. Great knock gone in vain.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I watched the highlights of that game...really enjoyable yes...if windies coda perform so in the 50 over version...I see Gayle speak out against the dropping of the duo...I hope WICB doh blank him to nuh
