Don't goat mout de yute... he has done extremely well and Windies fans hope he will continue in that vein.
But at the same stages of their career in terms of games played their averages were the same... prior to this series Lendl's avg was 19; he is now at 29... gayle has maintained a consistent 39-41 average over the last few years... I'm still not convinced yu gyal nevah gi yu bun wid Gayle

Why is it that we look so good AFTER the series has already been decided?
Seems we are always trying to avoid a whitewash rather than win a series.Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

Predictable as sure as day follows night... however, I will give much credit to Simmons who played his natural game (successfully) throughout the ODI series.Peter R

It is troubling how so many of our young opening bats fail to peg down a position on a consistent basis. In this regard we can say that Chris Gayle has been the one constant at the position over the years. He has seen many opening partners who who flattered only to deceive.
The West Indies need to see this as a problem which merits immediate attention. I would say to them: get Greenidge and Haynes (even Geoff Boycott if it comes to that) to have mini camps with our openers like Simmons, Barath, Deonarine, Simon Jackson, Xavier Marshall, Kirk Edwards, Parchment et al just to work on the fine points. Bring in tapes/videos of the players in action and specifically point out areas of weaknesses and bad habits which cause them to throw away their bats. Have extended net sessions to work out the kinks and bring in a psyche man to help them work on the mind part. I included Lendl Simmons on this list because (apart from this series) he has not benn able to hold down a spot on the West Indies team over the years.
NB: Another burning question to me is how can players like Xavier Marshall and Parchment go from the West Indies team to a point so low they cannot even make their local (Jamaica) side?"The contribution of forumites and others who visit shouldn’t be discounted, and offending people shouldn’t be the first thing on our minds.

Politics? I agree on the consistency issue. Gayle is our ONLY consistent opener.Comment

“I see ordinary Australians get on the scene and in three or four years they are top-class players. I see in the West Indies, really special young players get out there and struggle, can’t find their way. Something must be wrong with our system”
