Blogs WI versus Eng, ODI: West Indies Already Look Punched Out
May 24th, 2009 by calypsoJust a few minutes back, I checked the score of the ODI between England and WI and the men from the Caribbean do not seem to have recovered from the mental trauma that had been inflicted by being defeated by innings margins in two consecutive test matches. The score was something like 145 for the loss of nine wickets and most of the batsmen seem to be getting out horribly lose shots.
I guess, it is difficult for a team that has been beaten black and blue in two test matches with their captain, Chris Gayle, cribbing and complaining about the test match format and even questioning his own presence in the team. I still recall that many cricketing experts have often questioned Gayle’s ability to play for the team’s cause and though I have never agreed with thoughts like these, I guess some of these critical notions might not have been as misplaced as I thought they were to begin with.
