Hepmire's a one in six guy now, or a one in five guy.

Puran can actually dismantle a spin attack.

Shae's a very classy player of spin, but he doesn't dismantle a spin attack.

He can more nudge and nurdle and move a spin attack into the gaps, but Puran destroys spin attacks, and we just don't have a player that can replace Puran.

We're also arguably lacking finishers with the bat that is, although again, we could go back to the injuries that we're currently experiencing.

And most crucially of all, and I think we saw it again today, we don't have, and I've said this on multiple previous videos, so I'm just reiterating it, we don't have, for me, a potent enough bowling attack that can...

I guess restrict teams to manageable totals on a consistent basis or defend totals on a consistent basis.

Every now and again we'll pull out a top performance because we're not a bad side but certainly we don't have the depth of players or the quality of players to consistently perform in the different facets of the game and I think we saw that with the bowling at different points today.

Like I say, the easy thing to do is to get into the doom and gloom and say we've lost a series again and we're going to have all of the uncles saying sack this man and sack that man and sack this captain and sack Sammy and do that.

You already know where I stand on this.

All of that is short-term bullshit.

I'm on the long-term process here, and I think I'm, like, I was sitting, from where I'm recording, I'm just pointing over to where I was, in the first innings, there was a group of uncles over there, you lot can't see what I'm pointing, but they were over there, and they spent pretty much, what, three quarters, if not half of the Pakistan innings, demanding Darren Sammy to be sacked,

You would have thought they were West Indian fans, but you would have thought they weren't even here to support the West Indies.

And I hope they're watching this because I was just looking at them thinking, yuck, yuck.

The uncles are the biggest problems in West Indies cricket.

They all need to just go.

They all need to go.

They will never help our cricket go forward because all they're here to do is to pick out easy things to cuss.

say why we're never going to be good no solutions for anything that are actually relevant to 2025 and they just carry i hate them they just all they do is cuss they've got nothing constructive to bring to west indies cricket so i had to move i had to move away from them because i you know you have nothing constructive to add to the conversation but anyways that's that

This is a process, people.
