negative windies plan

The West Indies are in this test.

You know what that means sports fans, disappointment when they lose.

I did say when, not if.

Because from now on I am going to assume the worst, and if they do better I will be ecstatic.

The West Indies are actually becoming the new Pakistan.

Pakistan used to be a hot or cold side with heaps of attacking cricketers that you never really knew what you were getting.

Now they are mostly boring fu©kers really.

But the West Indies with their insanely cool and weirdly odd captain, their chief batsmen the chrab, their youngsters who are wither staid blockers or wildly extravagant shot players, their gun all rounder Dwayne “Smackdown” Bravo and a bunch of young fast bowlers who remind me of piranhas, they are the most delightfully enigmatic team in world cricket.

But credit where credit is due, and today the West Indies have asked for credit.

Tomorrow they may hide in the attic.

That the West Indies are exciting to watch, mostly, does make me sad, because I remember when watching Pakistan was a roller coaster of emotions.

Now its like taking Novocaine, on the field, off the field still a roller coaster.

The West Indies aren't quite quite a roller coaster yet, but they are a go kart.

Just another reason to like them though.www.cricketwithballs.com "Practice Sehwagology and kill the Probots"
