Smile and bear it

Seeing the way the first two days of the England and West Indies test series have gone, observers are now realizing that the good old days are well and truly gone. The new generation of pacers do not have the quality to trouble the batsmen of today, who are helped in their domination by the fact that the bats and the defensive equipment these days  is much better than it was in the days before. The poor guys at that time did not even have helmets, which made them as vulnerable as gay twinks in front of some of the scariest bowlers that the world has ever seen.

The current crop just is not good enough, though they are led by a captain with a large heart who knows how to play the game in the way that it is meant to be. Darren Sammy is a man of rather limited ability, and he would be the first man to admit that; he does not scare the batsmen into submission, but he does have the ability to move the ball. He might not pulverize the opposition into gay twinks, but as his record suggests, he sure can get them out.
