Last Sunday, I saw the X-man for the first time. What a talented batsman. I know the bowling was nothing to write home about but this boy can bat.
Such an unfulfilled talent

In reply to CricSham I was always thrilled with that unmatched effortlessly played defensive boundary 4 stroke of his.

In general country cricketers don't do well in Jamaica cricket setup

In reply to CricSham

Is his flashlight brighter than the Empire State Building? Or equal to the cumulative traffic lights on Flatsbush Ave? Or neither?

Please explain his luminosity..

Light up New York with what his ganja spliff

In reply to silver
My brother, we all make mistakes in life. As I said in the article, when I left the game, the memory was bitter sweet. I was thrilled to see such a talented player but also saddened by the fact that it is a talent that was never fulfilled. Please do believe me when I say that this young man is talented, but he has no one but himself to blame.

nice article.

In reply to CricSham

Being a little bit around the cricket in NY I see this all the time though.


What I keep reminding myself though is that these guys had ample opportunities to set themselves apart in the caribbean and let it slip... Yes the system is not good but others are finding a way to make it out and to the next level... it may just be that the WI team is better off without these guys who are not though enough to overcome the system and get to the top.

In reply to matchstick

yup

agree with you there.

even back in high school...when we played cricket, some guys who got called to trials decided that they'd arrived on the big stage and selection henceforth was guaranteed.....

In reply to silver

We really need to drop that shit. Everyone of us has a moment or period of indiscretion. Let it to fack go. I would smoke 10 spliffs wid him before one soda ina rumshop with your mindset.

In reply to CricSham

In reply to pelon

wonder if mi brethren moonman ever houl a spliff

In reply to CricSham

if he can bat...this kid has everything in him mate.

In reply to CricSham

He has talent but for me athletes should look at themselves as an investment. So eat right stay fit and get the most out of your body. In short he needs to stay fit ...

Everybody looks good in curry goat.

In reply to Admin

if he had any talent he would still be playing test cricket
