Chapter 1: What were the highlights of the Nepal vs. West Indies T20I series?
This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network. This is Kimo Roach, and I listen to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast.
Yes, yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another edition of the Caribbean Cricket Podcast, a live edition of the Caribbean Cricket Podcast. We've tried to go live after every match of this Nepal series. Thankfully, that series is over. And within, what's Tuesday today, within 48 hours, West Indies begin another series, a test series against India. But today...
Today, we have some positives to talk about. West Indies defeat in Nepal comprehensively by 10 wickets to make sure that we leave the T20 series. What was it called again? I don't know what they called it, but we leave the T20 series. We've left with something, a 2-1 defeat. And here's the thing. Here's the thing. Not to toot or blow my own trumpet, but immediately to toot or blow my own trumpet.
We did a or I sorry, I did a video. When was it? Was it last week? I did a video last week where I said and where I said in the video it was it was five things. It was cool. If you haven't watched it after this episode, go back, go back and watch the video that I did called five things that we need to see in the Nepal series.
And the five things I said were, I said, number one, I want to see us win one game. And I stated in the video, we were going to lose the series. Nepal were clear favourites, but I wanted to see us win at least one game before the series was over.
I said that I wanted Naveen Badesi to show why the team took him or why he was picked to go and play Nepal, because he offers a potential consistency of legspin bowling that nobody else really can offer in the region right now. The third thing I said, I wanted to see a shootout between Obed McCoy and Ramon Simmons and one of them to show me something.
The fourth thing, I said I wanted a batter who was yet to perform on the world stage to show us something, to show us something that we can invest in. And five, I said some of the young players to show us what the future might hold. I'm about to just blow my own trumpet here. You have a bunch of global cricket media.
You have a bunch of domestic cricket media who couldn't see any of that stuff coming, who didn't write about any of that stuff coming, who couldn't understand that West Indies were definitely going to lose this series.
Then you have Caribbean Cricket Podcast, who correctly pointed out before the series started that we were going to lose, that Nepal were clear favourites and the best we could hope for was one win. You have us who speak truth and then you have others who are shot when things happen. Of those five things I expected to see, every single one of those five things happened.

Chapter 2: How did the West Indies perform in the first two T20 matches?
Going forward, people. I am begging you. Every single... Every single West Indies team that plays expects them to lose. And any win we get, take that as a massive bonus. That's where we're at. That's where we're at. Look at this. Z, I say this respectfully to you. I'm going to try and say this respectfully to you. Every time you come on this platform and comment, you get things woefully wrong.
So Z says, you're telling me you didn't expect us to beat Nepal. Did you not watch my video? This is how I know that, see, this is what I'm saying, man. I'm going to cuss in today's episode. This is what I'm saying. Did you not see me tell you what was going to happen? Did you not see me clearly tell people the best we can hope for is one win? Did you not see me tell you? Come on, man.
I know people... Here's the thing. Please do not confuse the way I speak about West Indies cricket with my knowledge of West Indies cricket. Sometimes people confuse my... I'm very forthright. I won't lie. I'm very forthright. I'm very blunt. And I keep things straight to the point. The thing with me is, it's always going to be real. I'm not going to BS you. I'm not going to...
I'm not going to mince my words. I'm going to call it exactly as it is. And if you take upset to that, that's your problem. That's not my problem. That is your problem. If players watch some of the stuff that I say and they take upset to it, that's their problem. That's not my problem. This platform exists to speak the truth about West Indies cricket.
This platform exists to speak to the key stakeholders in West Indies cricket and answer questions that matter. This platform exists to answer questions and try and answer those questions to the best of our ability. This platform exists to call out BS. This platform exists to point out to people where West Indies cricket is at. That's where this exists. Or this is the purpose of this platform.
We are never, ever going to be a platform that makes you feel better about things because you're down bad.

Chapter 3: What were the five key expectations for the West Indies in the Nepal series?
West Indies in game one and game two were shit. Tell me when I'm telling lies. Tell me when I'm telling lies. Even in spite of the fact, and I will provide some nuance later on down in the episode, but even in spite of the fact that there were players on T20 international debut, it was subpar. In fact, actually, let me refresh that statement. In game one, they were poor.
In game two, they were dog shit. In game three, they did or they performed to their... when everyone's locked in. But none of it was a surprise to me. Am I happy that they won the last game? 100%. I don't want to watch West Indies and feel permanently down bad. So 100%, like, was I happy with the comprehensive victory? 1000%. 1000%.
But that doesn't mean that I can't say that game one and game two was down cataclysmic.
But I do want to... Here's where I will defend the team now.
Here's where I will defend the team slightly. Because... I don't think I've got the still with me. But let's be real, people. Let's be real. Because I think we have to have a genuine conversation here. So I should point out, by the way, somebody from Nepal messaged me and said, you're saying Nepal wrong. I think I've been saying it Nepal and they like say as Nepal, whichever one.
But I'm going to try saying Nepal. Apologies if I keep saying Nepal, because I think that's probably how that's like. That's just what sounds easier to me. But it's Nepal, I believe. Anyways. Let's just look at the basic. Let's break this down into the basic fundamentals, people. The Nepalese team play together all the time. Right. All the time.
Listen carefully, because I know there's a couple of dances like Z listening who don't actually listen and actually not just see. There's a couple of dances who listen to CCP episodes. You know who you are, who always comment and just you comment as if you can't understand English. So what I'm going to do over the next five minutes is I'm going to speak really slowly.
And this is for the dunces out the left, the dunces out the back, the dunces at the right hand side and the dunces sitting right in front of me. I'm going to speak really slowly for you lot so you can understand what I'm saying here. OK, please, please take this in. Right. The Nepalese team has played together for years. The Nepalese team know each other's game inside out.
The Nepalese team are no scrubs, right? We done saw them in the last World Cup. Was it the World Cup in... in our homeland, in our back garden. They nearly beat South Africa, was it? Was it not South Africa? Correct me in the comments if I've got it wrong. They nearly beat South Africa in the last World Cup. They're no scrubs, right?
