Kensington Oval. West Indies scored a lot, England scored 381 fewer.

Probably Middlesborough losing to Newport County in the FA Cup if you're a Boro fan.

The only humiliation was those who didn't understand how good the current WI side is (in home conditions) and how poor England have always been in the Caribbean.

Excuses. Any test team who have lost by that margin has been humiliated.

They are international cricketers not Girl Guides. They had time to aclimatise, they crumbled and fell over. Disgraced.

I don't think you even like cricket, Zambo. Every time you post on the subject, it's something negative, especially the childish bleating when your beloved Warwickshire players don't get picked for England... :rolleyes:

If letting Roston Chase take 8 wickets in an innings against you isn’t the definition of humiliation, I’d love to know what is.

Well I'd rather be labelled over-critical, than suck all the pathetic excuses up like 'England have never done well in the WE'. If that is the case, find out why and do something about it. Don't just accept it as reason for humiliating defeats and hope they do better next time

This squad needs a good kick up the arse, not mollycoddling. You also need to look up the difference between negativity and deserved criticism. Bury your head in the sand as per, but don't expect me to to avoid your silly goading.

Luiz is one of the main reasons for the humiliation. He's been missing on duty a lot this season, then tries to blame his colleagues for his shite.

It's not silly goading. When Woakes hasn't been picked in the past, you've talked about conspiracies why the ECB are overlooking him.
To me, that is childish bleating just because one of your own county's players has missed out.

What has that got to do with what was being discussed on this thread? Nothing.

Anyway, let's here your suggestions to remedy the fact that 'England never do well in the Carribean'. Apart from a few days rest on Paradise beach that is. :rolleyes:
