HERE I AM TIGER FRIENDS!!!

Well al Furqaan i don't really remember "the bet", but let me address the results you listed since we won the series in BD.

1. The india series

Well that was Tendy's last series right? on our part it was a total farce...it was put together at the last minute and we didn't have any good preperation at all. We were also still being held back by the ridiculous selectors and coach who insisted on keeping Sammy as captain, thus we couldn't play two spinners without dropping a batsman or a pacer...therefore we were always behind the eight ball in that series and rightfully got well beaten.


2. NZ away

Then with our confidence at an all time low the selectors decided to make zero changes to the embarrassment that occured in India ...and to add further salt to the wound Shillingford had been called by the umpire in india. That series started off poorly too as the majority of our guys had NO warm up matches..so we were stuck with perhaps the worst attack i've seen in my lifetime which was best, sammy, gabriel and shillingford. It was very poor stuff..plus Kraigg had been delayed due a visa problem..so with Gayle being injured aswell we had to open with Edwards and Powell...DISASTER.


3. NZ home

So we get home after that series and all the news was about Darren Bravo leaving the tour early because of a bust up with Sammy..so there was big unrest in the camp and as a result Sammy got fired. It was seen as a "fresh start" but the same selectors and coach were still there!!..the series started off on a bad note for us with Narine being suspended due to playing in the IPL final and we were under prepared YET AGAIN for the first test which we lost badly. 2nd test comes along and we finally got it right with the balance of the team and trounced them by 10 wickets...but just as we thought things were looking up what happens? the selectors and coach go and change a winning team and play the 3rd test with a batsman short..so despite getting an first innings lead we ended up losing the match and thus the series

Since then the selectors have been sacked and so has the coach...as for the "spin"...well, we've seen in the tigers first innings that our spin is doing just fine thank you .

Our next four series are India, SA, Eng and Australia...so we'll what happens..i've got a feeling the mighty windies will upset a few of them .
