Windies out of T20 World Cup | SportsMax Zone 

The batting let us down. PERIOD!

Pooran, Hope, and Rutherford let us down when it mattered most 😢. Russell’s runout was the key moment that turned the game in SA favor. His runout was the difference between 135 and 155 as he was just getting warmed up and was ready to plunder those last two overs. But that’s cricket.

The team improved from our last appearance in a t20 WC. On that note i believe Powell role as captain is the same as pooran when he was captain. They follow the plan and do not make any on field decisions. South Africa didn't outplay us, we just didn't win the important moments in the game.

I have not slept from last night 😢😢😢😢...took this lost extreemly hard

Ricardo I’m really proud of u and I respect that about chase

I'm very disappointed .but at the same time for the team to recover from not qualifying to making the super 8s is an accomplishment in it self

Put the whole WI team to play Test....they need to learn cricket and not baseball...Sorry Chase...I was a doubter 😢

I told my friends several times that Roston Chase and Hayden Walsh Jr are the two most underrated cricketers in the WI.

Love hearing Fazeer

Same bowling Tactics for the entire tournament was our downfall, we need to switch things up sometimes, not stick to one plan for Centuries, obviously bigger teams will adjust to suit

We keep hearing the same rhetoric..over and over..from defeat to defeat..

So sorry for my team west indies 😢😢😢😢😢

West indies captain is thrash. Why is he even in the team

Ricardo you did the big man thing. My grandfather always said that a man is not a man unless he can give his word and take it back.

We lost because of lack of imagination and will. Not runs, not bowling, not fielding. The captain needs lessons in cricketing imagination and will. Sameness is a gift to opposition

Nice song but those guys are Rucks. They need to give Chase the captaincy. Roman Powell b is a very good spokesman but a very inconsistent Batsman

Hetymer could have opened the batting Did it couple years back when he topped the wi batting

Oh yeah I always think Roston Chase should be an all format player for WI.

50 plus dot balls when you bat equals to 9 overs literally, this has to stop if windies want to do better than other teams

We were automatically eliminated from the mstch agsinst England..because of msny bad decisions. Even when we batted against England i see shepherd and Russell batting shead of Ralston chase who is the most talented all rounder in all of format but he is very underrated. By many.

Sadly too many of our players were passengers against SA. Seven players DID NOT TURN UP. Hope, Pooran, Powell and Rutherford all gone for 2 runs! Hosein was supposed to give Russell the strike by refusing that run off the last ball of the previous over to Andre's run out! No match awareness! Hosein bowled 18 balls for 31 runs, Motie 6 balls 20 runs conceded and Obed 7 balls for 15 runs! Not good enough when defending a low score. I feel for Alzarri, Russell, Meyers and Chase who really played their hearts out!

Boii me couldnt sleep even now me feel a way 😢

The reason chase is above many of them he play more test matches

Yes Lance. The West Indies lost the match while batting. The captain said that much.

If you say you"re # 3 in the world, how come you not in the final four, does it make sense to make that comment, Captain stands up & perform when the team is in trouble,where is your talent when needed.

That t20 captaincy needs to go to. Chase or Hope

So sad the Windies got knocked out😢 Now, whenever I hear the theme song, all I hear is ‘Knock-ed out of this worrrrrrrrlllld cup’ 😅😅😅

What are you guys talking about the captain needs to change thats the problem as things dont go our way we want to change powell is an excellent captain it wasnt meant to be last time we didnt even make it close to super eight so its an improvement sometime leave the team our downfall started when king was injured and then we had to find a new opener .They did well i am proud of them

A semi-final with WI in it would have been electric with home support. It’s not to be and the competition has now lost some of its spark with their exit. WI had over 50 dot balls in both defeats to Eng and SA until we address this we will struggle to win those tight games. We now have to target the WC in 2026. Rally.

Smarter captaincy won in the end. Better use of bowlers, attacking field placings and adjusting tactics quickly is how Markram outwitted Powell.

India and South Africa won games defending lesser totals than 135.

Needed more runs, just like we needed more against the English

Hetmyer they did you a favor by not playing you cause they would have blame you if they lost . The bench was the right place for u just sit n watch how ur team mate clown out their self batting like they have no brain esp Pooran everything he want got for 6

Not surprised. A team is what their records reflects. So they are just above the USA in 7th place.

Instead of criticizing the Pitch in Guyana, maybe they should play more on it. SA bowled 7 overs of spin and strangled the big hitters.

As it was in the beginning, so it was in the end! We started badly and ended poorly too. They persisted with the failed strategy of not changing a winning team although many players failed miserably! Nevertheless, there were positives!

WI cricket got such a needed injection when the team drew that series down under, against the best test team in the world. We desperately need to build on that or else WI cricket is destined for the history books. It has to be now

Rotation of strike is the problem

Should have brought in roston in the bowling attack way earlier.

turning point was Russell's run out . maybe we should have opened with myers

Why phaseer didn't do commentary in the world cup?

Afghanistan won their match defending 114

Why didnt they play shamar joseph why waste the mans talent in the bench ......guys bowling 150 mph and shamar is skillfull ....how can he gain experience on the bench ....give the man a chance ....many teams give their new guys a chance ....stop saying he needs experience.....its sad other teams woulve got shamar in team......but the ipl also did him an injustise .....obed did worse

I disagree with a lot that was said here. True is we were playing a side (SA) that is of high quality and we did pretty well infact we completed all the way. Where windes lost this tournament was really the game against England. I think that game was really the one that push us out of the tournament. But such is lt. it’s a game and these things do happen. We MUST STOP demoralized our players who famous and well renounce globally.

We had a great keeper in Hope and we stayed with Pooran

It would appear..that T 20 cricket has its own fan base and test cricket its own fan base....

😢the rain spoiled things. Some bowlers couldn't grip the ball properly. It would have been different story if the rain did not fall.

The best in the W I , he has the brain

Ah shes cute

Sorry Windies😢

Why blame that 3 what about powell and that 1 over from motie

Sorry sportsmax but i dont think west indies came out to play this game to win! Absolutely ridiculous

people like you and those who help in putting the mental nail in the minds of the players distracting Dem by saying he should be drop and he should be in is the main cause that cause our batting to failed they were not mentally fit to do there job The Media and most sport journalist must carry there share of our loss.

I’ve never seen where that ridiculous method worked for us. Nevertheless “rally rally round the West Indies”

These cricketers know how to bowl and hit the ball but they often show that they dont know how to play the game.

We miss namine

I think they need a better bowling attack

In every thing put GOD fiesta not self!

Yeah, but you still didn't SAY anything, Ricardo. Just say you were wrong. It's not the first time.Don't go around the world beating around the bush trying to find a way to be wrong without actually being wrong and hiding behind a sign.

Powell n sammy buyous hetty n shamar joseph should have played smh

You talking trash for real . You did not stand up as a captain at no time at all . Now you talking you played good cricket in months . Talk about the world cup. You are to be blame . You are the captain

They lost the game when Andre Russell ran out at the final overs

Yea bt faz pooran cud play a better shot a better game for his team he play selfish cricket

I had nightmares about that game Sunday. Pooran and Powell got out so cheaply (I can chalk up Hope to good bowling and positioning.) It was a tough pitch to bat on, but bowling didn't lose it for us; poor batting lost it for us, same as against England. Like to see where we improve across ALL formats ahead of the next tournament.

Fas sometime you talk like don't know what to say, or afraid to say the Right thing.

Gm why wunna always when west indies lost when team preparation as a unit was only 6 nonths, west indies aren't allowed to play ibternational consistant cricket like india, england, australia, bew zealand and others get the icc criketing board and wci stop tugga warring for supremecy and blaming west indies cricketers when other cricketing countries are being push forward by pkaying more cricket in every form of cricket, people 10/10 cricket when ladt wunna hear dee west indies team as a uhnit playi g such cricket start building from now a way forward

It's another pathetic performance by the team and the captain is to blame,he is the captain of the team,and he is responsible,a change gonna come.Thhe turmoil will continue unless there's a change,you have to think of your present situations and "think"come on now I give up on the West Indies Team........

Tell WI stop play politics with the selection process. Take heed of on CPL with djbravo/patriots and now afganistan. 🥱🥱🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️

Captain is waste of time ,west indies selectors is waste of time also

Sammy should follow them

Sammy home boy Charles got drop too late . Since the super 8 game start Charles should have drop

West Indies sell out the match

Folks lets be honest I rather be #9 and win the WC # 3 and out. People be honest Windies have players than can't bat lets look at it Charles, Powell, have no technique therefore on any track in the world that offers some assistance for bowling, they will fail more than prosper, Pooran, have all the talent but know brains example when Hope got out and the SA captain came on to bowl knowing the importance of the game why in the world would he play such a shot, King decent player, Mayers the verdict is out but not looking too promising, why in the world would you pick Hetty and not even play him once even in the game against the Afghans to have in ready further who can you play Rutherford over Hetty when in the worlds best T20 game Rutherford sits over Hetty any day, I agree with FAZ, but he is wrong you have to believe that any amount of runs you can defend it if not why play the game, and its not loosing is the problem its having a Captain who can't hold is place on the team on pure talent, lets look coaching and captains decisions not on 1 game but over time we can see how the players manage there rolls in the team are they showing a understanding of what needs to be done when they look at the scoreboard, point incase why did on the last ball of the 16 th over I believe did Russell and Akeal take a single to give Akeal the strike only then to try to steal a single on the first ball of the next over to have Russell run himself out when they should have refused the run and Russell would have control of the game it is these little things that players must be aware of , why did Powell felt he needed to bowl Akeal 3 overs on the trot when he clearly was not having an impact, and when Russell came on and took two wickets wasn't that a clue that he needed to bowl his best fast bowler, there comes a time that you must use the best you have for the rolls you select them for loose with your best if you must Chase was selceted for his dual roll but turned out to be very good and I am no Chase fan, I believe you pick Hetty on that big a game you play him even ahead of Mayers, we can do with a make shift opener for one game ask Sunil Narine who open the batting do any of you believe that Powell and Sammy would do that I argue not Cricket is a thinking game and you need Talent and performance to be manage by thinkers.

Powell have to go he's a waste cant bat and he's no tactitian and failing everytime he bats. Chase orHope for Captaincy

We made that mistake by leaving Charles and play mayares

Powel is a total waste man can bat at all

West indies is ah disappointment i I'm don looking at these guy play cricket pure failure I'm sorry to say..

None of the teams is not making any big scores, because the pitches them is poorly prepared. I heard a of people is talking about dots balls,all the teams does struggling to make runs. So I heard the wi spectators them is talking about, the amount of dots balls. If the bowlers them is bowling really good, only special gifted players them can make runs. Most of the top teams already gone home, that is to tell you guys something. That the pitches is poorly prepared and,it is very difficult to bat on, that is the bottom line of it,ok.
