More blows

As I type this West Indies are 162-7 chasing Sri Lanka's 303. No doubt they are crashing to their third straight super 8 loss and truth is each one seems worse than the previous. What a far cry from the team that played so well in that game versus Pakistan when almost everything seemed to go just right. Back then I wondered how long that form would last given the mercurial nature of the team and unfortunately didn't have to wait too long.

The blame has been attributed to everything from amateurs playing in a professional world, lack of mental strength,to poor coaching methods. Whatever the reasons,fans are disgusted by the lack of fight over the last few games as they watch a semi final spot slip away. West Indian fans better start choosing an alternate team to cheer for the tourney since it looks like bye bye for the guys in maroon.

It's All Fools Day and you would think Windies would pretend to be a champion team for just one day.
