So, here are again, another series and another series defeat. When will the slaughter come to an end? When will the West Indies cricket team resume winning? The truth is from the looks of hting, not anytime soon.

Australia is making Chris Gayle swallow his words and he must now have mud all over his face, after making such bold and may I say baseless predictions that West Indies will win the current series 4-1. Chris, come on buddy, did a duppy tell you that in your sleep? when was the last time the team won a series, must more to win a series against Australia so convincingly?

It is still beyond me why in 2010 the West Indies team is announced days before a tour.What do we then expect from the team, miracles? Why can't out touring teams be selected a month in advance and then put into camp to train for at least three to four weeks before departing for a tour? Is it that the board does not plan so far ahead? Is it that we do n ot have money? or is it just good old short-sightedness? We are still operating in this modern age of professional sport as if we are still into calypso cricket.

In my next post I will suggest some solutions, in the meantime I hope we can at least win the final one day match to salvage some pride, if the team knows what that is.
