Clinical from South Africa, total demolition of the Windies, a job well done.

Since beating Bangladesh the west indies have lost to the weakest sri Lankan & south african teams we have seen in many years. My assessment that ppl were getting ahead of themselves was correct
They drew against Sri Lanka and had marginally the better of those draws, but good try.Since beating Bangladesh the west indies have lost to the weakest sri Lankan & south african teams we have seen in many years. My assessment that ppl were getting ahead of themselves was correct

Yeah it's quite binary and rather stupid.I find the refusal to acknowledge that improving doesn’t have to equal ‘being good’ fascinating

There's no indication that team has improved. Results are weaken teams suggest otherwise

All this said, this does seem to have been a particularly bad performance from WI. It's their best opportunity to beat South Africa in a generation and they come out and produce that?
yeah sorry but they have and results indicate it
Lost by innings to weakest south Africa since return to tests. Also the sri Lankan team they faced was the worst I've seen since 80's.
Judging by what you post in here I’d say what you haven’t seen is a lot larger than what you have.
previous incarnations of the West Indies over the past decade would have lost to that Sri Lankan side and many others. Previous West Indies sides wouldn’t have taken tests of Pakistan home and away and England home and away and wouldn’t have won in Bangladesh. End of story.
stop trying to deny an assertion that no one has made.
Are the West Indies good?
No.
are they less bad than they were?
yes.
As for South Africa - yes they are weak. Their batting is anyway.
their bowling is not. So while I would expect the current West Indies team (remembering Gabriel is missing) to have no issues being competitive with the ball, they aren’t good enough with the bat to waltz out and easily handle Nortje, Rabada and Ngidi and it showed
Not really - they're without a world class batsman. In the past there was always somebody who filled that role; bravo, chanderpaul, gayle...
Bowling records have been enhanced by more matches against minows but as we've seen in recent series that doesn't count for much
Yup. The official WICB YouTube channel is streaming the matches in full!Is YouTube showing video? I've only been able to find West Indies radio broadcast on the YouToobs.
Yesss. Darren Bravo back in the Windies squad. Fingers crossed he gets a run.
Also, fans allowed for this match apparently. Not many of them, but it will be a welcome change. Has been very strange to watch cricket in the West Indies without a vociferous crowd.
Has any other cricketer had a longer career than Shai Hope based on one good test performance?!
ahum... South Africa 6 for 54... Go WindiesClinical from South Africa, total demolition of the Windies, a job well done.
400 and proof of vaccine. FMD...Yesss. Darren Bravo back in the Windies squad. Fingers crossed he gets a run.
