Have to admit if I wanted any other side, other than England, to win it, it would be WI. Always so entertaining

Guessing your cricket knowledge is minimal
1 he is not a disgrace, his performances in the rest of the tournament show that 2 the batsmen were superb at the end 3 he is one of our best death bowlers. It happens I should have been clearer though so I do apologise - what happened there was disgraceful; Stokes isn't a joke overall. After Root, or possibly alongside Root, he's our key player. But, as good as the batting was, the bowling was poor. |

I know its a different form of the game but its amazing how well their t20 game is going for their teams across the board compared to the test team woes.

At this level, though, when you need that trait... wow. |

I once saw Shaun Pollock take 4 wickets in 4 balls for Warwickshire but this was simply astonishing given the circumstance.
Ranking up with the best sequences in Cricket history. Sad for Stokes but its a big challenge for him to deal with this in his head. |

Just wish west indies would learn how to play and win test matches!!
take this all day though. to win all 3 is some achievement A lot of the time in ODI and Test cricket the players don't want to play for their country. only seen them show up in certain situation, either by sledging them or in some ICC events. Even my Next door neighbour can see this. |

The West Indies don't seem to give a monkeys about tests anymore. Half their best players don't play in their games now from when I've seen them.
As well as arguments over money are never far away. |

TBH WI players don't really care much about anything.
They only cared about the English test because graves was dopey. They don't care about Odi/Test or any bilateral games either. |

I hope so. I know some Aussie commentators were calling for the West Indies to drop to a second division test level. Never. We need them to be great again
Even AB is saying he is losing motivation to play Test cricket because it has no meaning. But no one came up with a workable idea yet that suits everyone. |

Morgan says the batting lost it for England but the West Indies needed 19 from that final over. The bowling lost it for us as much as the batting.

Rather ungracious of Samuels to use the trophy presentation to settle his own personal score.

I wonder if the West Indies have the patience for the longer form game - they prefer trying to be on the front foot from the off which means restrictive bowling or lack of wickets frustrate.
At this level, though, when you need that trait... wow. |

Dropping them to a second division test level not that bad option really since the players need motivation to perform and Test cricket needs Context to make Test Cricket interesting in every country barring Australia and England.

Again I disagree with you. 18 of those 20 overs were pretty good. Only 2 were fairly expensive. England didn't get 170 which lost them the game. Batting lost it for me. The bowlers did ok

This West Indies presentation reminds me of the one Father Ted had when he received the Golden Cleric.
