I have not understood this Windies team at all so far. I watched them in a warm up game earlier and an early world cup match, and they seemed completely in disarray. They seemed like a team full of players who are not in in the same page as the board. So the board makes some one the captain who they feel will not go out publicly and start slamming the board.
Then, they had this motivated bowling display v Pakistan and won. After that game, the team seemed really geared up for the game v South Africa. Bishop had visited their training and even seeing the videos, they really seemed to have slogged and seemed very geed up for the game. However, South Africa just thrashed them.
Today as a mix of the two earlier kinds of Windies we have seen in the tournament. At times, they were a bunch of players who couldn't give a ****. At other times, they were motivated to do well in the game. If you have them motivated properly and at full strength, they would be one of the stronger teams in the world cup. However, there is no leader, like a Worrell or Lloyd out there. Even if there was, the board would make sure that he is either sacked, or doesn't have any say.
