As a West Indies cricket fan i feel very hurt and dissapointed with their performance.Their atrocious tour recently is certainly an indication of how they will perform in the World Cup. I am tired defending the West Indies team. Some of my thoughts of the West Indies cricket team are as follows:

The West Indies cricket team is weak.
The West Indies cricket team is disappointing.
The West Indies cricket team lack purpose.
The West Indies cricket team is full of excuses.
The West Indies team does not take the sport seriously
West Indies play cricket with a lack of interest and thought.
West Indies play cricket with a lack of enthusiasm.
I’AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WEST INDIES TEAM,THEY NEED TO PLAY WITH A PURPOSE AND WITH PRIDE.
