An open letter to: Courtney Browne ...

 
Yadi 2016-06-27 17:08:54 

I would go for Jon Russ Jaggersar right now.

 
Yadi 2016-06-27 17:13:14 

Therefore my eleven for the test would be:

1.) Kraigg Brathwaite
2.) Evin Lewis
3.) Darren Bravo
4.) Marlon Samuels
5.) Kieron Pollard
6.) Denish Ramdin
7.) Jason Holder (Captain)
8.) Carlos Brathwaite
9.) Davendra Bishoo
10.) Shannon Gabriel
11.) Jon Russ Jaggesar.

 
Yadi 2016-06-27 17:14:19 

Reserves:

Jermaine Blackwood, Delorn Johnson & Damion Jacobs.

Good list of players to start off the discussion, but are you aware that Polly said he no longer will consider test match cricket?

Johnson must make the team.

Wonder about some o these guys.

I'm a massive Pollard fan, and want him in the test side too..but at least lets see him play one FC match first...geeze

How can Pollard play Test Cricket when he doesn't play First Class Cricket?

 
Yadi 2016-06-28 13:05:11 

In reply to kern

Didn't Vishal Singh put up much better numbers?

 
Yadi 2016-06-28 13:08:29 

In reply to Emir

If Pollard is not interested: Vishal Singh , Leon Johnson & Royston Chase are next in line .... based on last years' first class

cricket performances.

 
Yadi 2016-06-28 13:10:37 

In reply to DIEHARD

Just like I went for Evin Lewis because of his demonstrated consistency ...

I would go for Vishal Singh as an option to Jermaine Blackwood.

Has a West Indian selector ever paid attention to performances in the regional competitions? Oh. You are hoping for a change. You are hoping that finally there will be a policy and some method to their madness.

It is to be noted: Jermaine Blackwood has not yet failed us at test cricket.

Blackwood has scored 78 runs in his last 8 test innings...with HS of 28

big grin
Blackwood dismissed himself 75% of the times

In reply to Yadi

My question is have selectors ever paid attention to stats and performances in regional competitions? And when?

 
Yadi 2016-06-29 10:24:27 

In reply to Narper

This is the reason ... I dropped him from the starting eleven.

 
Yadi 2016-06-29 10:25:25 

In reply to methodic

I recognize that he has hit a bad patch ... in his international career.

 
Yadi 2016-06-29 10:26:41 

In reply to Narper

However, I see folks calling for Shai Hope ....

He has never hit a good patch.

 
Yadi 2016-06-29 10:28:47 

Leon Johnson also hit a similar bad patch ... but I see people promoting him to opener.

 
Yadi 2016-06-29 10:30:57 

I am not Trinidadian .... But Evin Lewis does appear to me to be our best

solution - at this time - to partner the solid Kraigg Brathwaite.

 
WestDem 2016-06-29 10:38:04 

In reply to Yadi

Leon Johnson played a total of four tests and in the 7 innings he scored two fifties and is averaging 39.28....can you now let us know what bad patch you talking about?

His last nine FC scores are...93, 12, 79, 107, 17*, 40, 50, 23, 111*

 
TheTrail 2016-06-29 10:58:48 

Pollard cannot even play ODI correctly and allyuh want him in a test series...

Pollard is a swiper - he cannot bat - he should stick to "rubbish" t20 cricket.

Kirk Edwards is a better test batsman than Pollard and Leon Johnson.
