Smith: I love his enthusiasm and the way he's taken the game by the balls. Maxwell: His best and worst is too far apart. Faulkner: Sooks a bit too much, great player to watch with the stick though, rarely disappoints. Warner: Gotta admire the way he's altered his game to suit all 3 formats.
Absolutely loving seeing the Poms get done. They're so pathetic that I don't even feel one iota of sympathy.
Can't believe they didn't pick Petersen - actually plays with aggression and without fear, and has experience in pressure situations. Love or hate the bloke, unlike the XI precious quinoa-munching fairies that played today, he at least has some ticker.

The blonde don- Steve smith!!
By no means would I call Samuels down as a great or extremely good cricketer, but considering he has played in the worse international side all his career I would hardly call him a hack or a dud
Much worse international cricketers around
In fact even Watson and Michael Clarke don't average 30 over all forms of the game

He is to West Indies cricket what Ferguson is to SA cricket so you're right WHUFC hardly a dud

OK, not a dud but a huge under achiever. To me he epitomises what's been wrong with WIndies cricket for years. Talent to burn, but wastes it by not having a heart or giving a rats in 80% of his performances. How the diamond studs look is seemingly more important.
Anyway, back to the match, I thought Steve Bucknor was back on deck after that wide decision.

Totally agree, great call
He very much reflects West Indian cricket
I just hope the young batsmen coming through in the West Indian test team down go down the same path
Darren Bravo is slightly heading that way

Except Ferguson doesn't have a record that even the shield greats don't match
