Some individual brilliance, but as whole, still only a club side.Why do the WICB not give them match practice against, Carribean country teams, and see their metal. Several test class players ommited, for diciplinary measures, I presume, as well as pay issues.To me it is like, “cutting your nose to spite your face.”None of the six top test teams should waste their time or income source, to play against them. So very sad for the Carribean people.
