Strong additions! Irshad brings serious pace and Gous can definitely steady the middle order.
Sir Viv Richards Stadium is going to be rocking Friday night. Warriors always bring a tough game.
Why are we fixing what’s not broken. You know if we lose tonight I will say is because of them
Tell the American we want our money back. That was a horrible showing last night
