This is Kimo Roach and I listen to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast.

How did the players react to the shocking performance?

Machel St Patrick Hewitt 1:11
Yes, yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another edition of the Caribbean Cricket Podcast. You know things must be serious because I'm not even at home. I've got the bat signal went up. Santoki messaged me. He said, Mash, we can't let this one pass. We've got to get back and record an emergency podcast. Santoki, I don't want to say how you're doing. Santoki, Talk me through your emotional reaction last night as we tumbled. I don't know, tumble's not even a strong enough word.

What does this moment signify for West Indies cricket history?

Machel St Patrick Hewitt 1:48
As we crumbled to 27 all out.
Mashed. So this is what the sunken place feels like. This is the bottom. This is where it gets to. I remember as a youth man watching Chandrapal and Sarwan rallying behind them as they chased 4-18 against the great Aussie side. Last night I found myself rallying when we were seven for five. I found myself rallying, pleading, praying for everything I had that we could just score 27 or above and not get the lowest score in history, in the history of Test cricket. Mash. I was watching wicket after wicket. I was watching John Campbell swing at the first ball and thinking, this guy might as well have got another four-year ban for that shot. That was abysmal. I saw Brandon King try to play an elegant stroke at the end of the first over.
Clean, bold. I saw Kevlon Anderson go zero for three. Stark on the rampage. I thought, OK, cool. We've had an early blip here. We've lost three early wickets. Hope and these men. Surely we can regroup. Chase, Hope, Greaves, we can regroup. I saw Hope go. I saw Mikhail Louie go. I saw who went after that? Chase went for a duck. It was 11 for six. Mash? I think it's agreed, this is the lowest point in West Indian cricket in history. But as your catchphrase always goes, things can get lower from here, Mash.

What are the implications of this loss on the team's future?

This isn't the end of it. And that, you know what? It's not even a joke to me. That is what scares me the most. How far into the depths can we go? Because we're already in this sunken place. The legacy of West Indies cricket has led to this moment where 27 all-out mash happens. I don't know how much more bad it can get. I don't know how it can get any worse. But at this point, for me as a fan, just thinking as a fan, I'm even thinking, what is the point of this Allmash? What are we doing here?
Machel St Patrick Hewitt 3:37
The worrying thing is, like you say, is what's next? Like I'm praying, I'm praying with everything that I've got that this is the official rock bottom. I'm praying that they can't sink any lower now. I'm praying that we've actually reached the Titanic and that it's like, okay, this is the worst we're ever going to sink to. There's no more depths to sink to. I feel, I want to believe that we've reached the core of the earth now and everybody will stop and accept that West Indies cricket is shit on every level possible, right? I want to believe that we can all finally now agree this. What do you think though, Santoku? Before we run, kind of get into it, You know how in the last year's World Cup, Papua New Guinea had us sweating at one point?
Machel St Patrick Hewitt 4:39
Papua New Guinea, that was actually a foreshadow for what was to come. Papua New Guinea had us sweating that we might not beat them. So I want to just know, Santoki, is it possible, do you think it's possible that we could lose a cricket match to someone like the Cook Islands or something like that?
Put it this way. Put it this way. Yeah. At the World Cup next year, it wouldn't shock me if Italy beat us at the World Cup.

How does the current state of West Indies cricket compare to its past?

Like it wouldn't. It wouldn't shock me because if we're getting ramped out for 27 all out in a test match, I don't care if it's the Aussies. I don't care if it's the pink. I don't even care if it's the pink ball. People are saying it's the pink ball.
