Netherlands vs West Indies - 1st ODI review

Netherlands vs West Indies - 1st ODI review

The ODI side is under new management as Nicholas Pooran took charge of his first official game as West Indies captain.

The team got off to a fine start with a clinical seven wicket win over the Netherlands to secure 10 ODI Super league points.

Machel is in the Netherlands for all three games so took some time out to review the proceedings from the game and the key things learnt.

"Oh Captain! My Captain!" - Pollard retires from West Indies duty (Live call in show)

"Oh Captain! My Captain!" - Pollard retires from West Indies duty (Live call in show)

It's safe to say that no one other than those closest to Kieron Pollard would have seen his retirement decision coming.

Most expected Pollard to see the T20 side thru to the end of the 2022 T20 World Cup and then the ODI side though to the 2023 ODI World Cup.

However he has called time and some say earnt the right to call time after 224+ international appearances.

There will undoubtedly be a subsection of the West Indian fanbase who will continue to argue that this is the best thing for West Indies cricket.

However this a chance for all fans to have their say in a Caribbean Cricket Podcast live phone in show.

As ever comment below if you have anything to discuss about this episode.

Is Dre Russ fully committed to the West Indies?

Is Dre Russ fully committed to the West Indies?

There is a T20 World Cup at the end of 2022 but we havent seen Dre Russ in West Indian colours since the end of the T20 World Cup in 2021.

As he blazes up yet another IPL - Are West Indian fans right to be questioning Dre Russ' place in the Maroon?

Is it one rule for Andre Russell and another for everyone else? Or should his time now come to an end irrespective of what he achieves in franchise leagues?

Machel (@mashstpaddy) jumped into the cuss out hot seat to dissect the issue in the way only he can.

CPL 2022 - Analysis of the local retained & signed list: Can anyone stop TKR?

Dre Russ and Pooran have joined TKR in a power move that has sent shockwaves around the CPL. Dinesh 'Dino' Mahabir (@cricdino) came through to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast studios to discuss the local retentions and signings.

Has it left more questions than answers? Are the cards stacked too heavily in TKR's favour?

West Indies player ratings (West Indies vs England) and the next selection steps

West Indies player ratings (West Indies vs England) and the next selection steps

The streets have been asking for the Caribbean Cricket Podcast player ratings following the West Indies vs England series.

Well we couldn't disappoint. Machel should be in Jamaica right now eating some fried fish & bammy but Lufthansa did him dirty and cancelled his flight.

He used that unforeseen time to jump into the hot seat to give out the player ratings and tell Lufthansa to 'suck out'....

Can West Indies Women reach another World Cup Final? (ft Stacy-Ann King)

Can West Indies Women reach another World Cup Final? (ft Stacy-Ann King)

They may have come into the tournament as underdogs and unfancied but our #MaroonWarriors find themselves one game away from another World Cup final appearance.

Former West Indies international and current broadcaster Stacy-Ann King joined us to talk all things #CWC22 as well analyse what has been a topsy turvey tournament for WIW.

We look at the positives and the areas for improvement but also talk about the development of the Women's game in the Caribbean.

Recent announcements from Cricket West Indies have outlined an academy programme in Antigua for 10-15 women's players and of course the inaugural Women's CPL.

How important will both of those prove to be for the long term health of the game in the region?

Where are the West Indian home fans?

Where are the West Indian home fans?

Another England series and the continued galling sight of West Indians being outnumbered 5-to-95.

For some this doesn't matter as the amount of money made is the priority to an impoverished Cricket West Indies.

However this isnt something specific to England games alone, for the longest while West Indian home fans have been an ever dwindling presence in the Caribbean. If we arent being outnumbered then we arent even present to begin with.

Machel jumped into the 'cuss out' hot seat to demand answers and some out of the box thinking. We surely cant go on like this.

Share this cuss out with whoever needs to listen.
