shot chairman!  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

but I will give Holder his pips. 

I will stick to my 2 options that would have worked...play the same winning side..or Narine for Gabe.

that is the only improvement we could have made to the side.

Holder did not improve the side which is why we lost.  but Holder did well in the match.  he can bat well and I advise him to put a lot of emphasis on that..his batting.  improve his bowling too but I dont think he can improve much as a bowler

I would love to see Carlos Brathwaite get a look in. He needs to at least start playing regularly on the WI ODI side.

I agree with the comments that he can bat. I don't think he should try to be a batsman purely but an all rounder. West indies is constantly in need of good batsmen and holder has shown that he can bat. A little more work in the nets on his batting and he can become a genuine all rounder.

* Jason Holder has the heaight. He gets the bounce. And he moves the ball. But his average speed right now is 128 KMH/79 MPH. Unless he can raise his average bowling speed to 135 KMH/84 MPH, he will be an ordinary/mediocre test bowler like Darren Sammy.

Well I've been reading the comments on here about Jason Holder ... and I still believe my first impression of him ...... he's definitely got something special to offer .....

Just hope that 'that something special' is not the same as some folks hoped of players like Dwayne Bravo
;)

* Cuffy had the height.

* But he was SLOW!

* Didn't trouble test batsmen.

* In 15 tests Cuffy took 43 wickets at an average of 33.34

* Unless Holder raises his average bowling speed from 128 KMH to 135 KMH----79 MPH to 84 MPH---we can effect Cuffy like bowling performance from him.

* By the way, Cuffy never took 5 wkts in an innings.

* His best was 4/82

* Tont Gray took 22 wickets in 5 tests( 3 vs Pak and 2 vs NZ) at an average of 17.14

encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:...5tVH8a-Vu2_HGPYH3V0w

* That was in 1986/87

* Guess with the great WI quick bowlers back then, there was no room for Tony.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches.
