West indies cricket is full of prolific Spinners at regional level who were ignored neglected and misused despite
turning in stellar performances season after season.

Look at Badree for example to use a current example...it took years for the WI selectors to give him a look in.



Unless there is something different about Nikita Miller...all I can say to him is Join the club.

The only difference is that from this era, where FC cricket is concerned, he is by far the most prolific of them all, so I guess they are the ones joining his club.

I mean every other spinner averages between 21 and 28 with the ball in FC cricket. He averages under 17.

There is one that averages 17 after 12 matches with 54 wickets and he is only 21 yrs old and lots of upside. I'll rather work with that one than a 34 yr old Miller

My opinion though.........

 
natty_forever 2016-12-12 11:52:36 

In reply to Kay... well now that he is here I will agree, but what about before that?

In reply to johndom90

Miller has not gotten a fair shot. if the domestic competition is ostensibly used to select the test team, then with his extended dominance, he should have had a decent run. Some folks on here say he can only get dung heap batsmen out. that is idiotic and hypocritical logic. He doesnt select the batsmen in the domestic competition, his job is to get them out. only way to be certain if he can get real batsmen out is to play him in tests.

this is not like the 80s where Ranjie Nanan and Clyde Butts couldn't get in because we were doing a four prong pace attack.

They treated this guy shabbily.

You clearly missed the point. Not surprising.

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 14:35:50 

In reply to natty_forever

Exactly. These guys don't read (carefully) and comprehend.

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 14:56:23 

In reply to JahJah

Why don't you ever comment on technicals of the game? You just regurgitate numbers with your Jamaican bias thrown in. If you think Miller is so damn good, just present the case with the technical nuances.

I have noticed this often. You hardly ever talk about finer points of the game. You can atleast attempt to present your deep insight into Jamaican players.

Numbers are boring! Anybody with an internet connection can look it up and talk isht!

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:00:07 

In reply to Khaga

Sachin 100 100s is not numbers? You don't have a problem with talking about that without ever going into the any finer points of the game.

What about Ashwin, the pelting home bully and away kitten? Go dive into those nuances.

Miller's dominance is there to be seen in the numbers, which is enough.

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 15:02:09 

In reply to JahJah

I can talk about Sachin's straight drives, Lara's cover drives,Ashwin's carrom balls,Gayle's brute force, Virat Kohli's forceful off drives and many more.

Show me you can get out of the number prison and talk about the game! I dare you..

 
camos 2016-12-12 15:03:48 

In reply to Khaga

isn't it a numbers game?

give me Shiv's numbers any day over some more pleasing fellows with lower numbers!

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:03:51 

In reply to Khaga

I talk about what I want to talk about. I don't need to copy what some commentator says, like you do, and come back here and parade it as my own.

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:04:35 

In reply to camos

If it weren't so Hooper would be king, innit.

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 15:04:55 

In reply to JahJah

BWHAHAHAHAHA! you don't even watch the facking game 90% of the time..you just copy paste some numbers and then beat the Jamaican chest..

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:06:20 

In reply to Khaga

90% of the time no one can watch the regional matches since they are hardy ever shown. rolleyes

Now please do tell us more about the commentators told you.

Do you watch international games?

Explain.

Do you watch international games?


Yes, next question.

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 15:11:36 

In reply to JahJah

Explain how the DRS system works! What are the issues that you see it its current implementation?

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:12:27 

In reply to Khaga

Open a thread for DRS. This about Miller.

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 15:13:50 

In reply to JahJah

This is about your cricket knowledge..
Miller time is over. I claim that you are a cricket dunce and a half-ass number warrior with insularity as the prime motivator.

 
gvenkat 2016-12-12 15:14:34 

In reply to Khaga

lol lol lol You are asking too much from him bro.. Jamiacan DRS/DL?? Come on.. you know better

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:15:51 

In reply to Khaga

This thread is about Miller and his treatment. If you want to discuss DRS, the umpire's call and all other issues pertaining to it, go discuss it with someone who gives a damn.

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 15:16:37 

In reply to JahJah

You don't give a damn about DRS because it doesn't get used in Jamaica matches?

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:16:44 

In reply to gvenkat

Stop blowing Surya and explain what you meant. How has Miller not been dominant?

 
gvenkat 2016-12-12 15:16:59 

In reply to JahJah

go discuss it with someone who gives a damn.


So you don't? And hence proved that you are a cricketing dunce..

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:17:26 

In reply to Khaga

Because that shit is minor to me. Simple as that.

 
gvenkat 2016-12-12 15:17:34 

In reply to JahJah

Has he not been tried and tested in international cricket many times like Devon Smith?

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 15:18:04 

In reply to JahJah

Cricket is your minor..Insularity is your major!

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:18:19 

In reply to gvenkat

Yes, whatever you feel. No explain what you said regarding Miller on this MILLER THREAD.

I'm waiting.

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:19:14 

In reply to gvenkat

Has he not been tried and tested in international cricket many times like Devon Smith?


He was tried once in Test cricket, which is what we are discussing as we are no playing FC and not List A cricket, you idiot.

Replacing bishoo?? Get real..

 
Devin 2016-12-12 15:20:36 

In reply to Khaga

Swedish meatball JahJah has never seen La Femme Nikita bowl. The only thing he knows about Nikita Miller is that he/she is Jamaican, and his/her name is Nikita Miller.

The last time that Swedish meatball lover watched a game of cricket, the Waste Indies were still terrorizing people.

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 15:21:24 

In reply to Devin

I seriously doubt if Jahjah knows what type of a bowler Miller is, without googling..

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:23:13 

In reply to gvenkat

You seriously are an unintelligent cretin. Who is talking about replacing anyone at this point???

Is stalking cricketers, getting close to them, smiling with them and then carrying news about them, is all you know?

Clearly this dude's time is past. He is mid 30s! What we are discussing is the chances he got in the type of cricket he was most successful...the long form.

Now please to fact off with your boyfriend in tow.

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:24:03 

In reply to Khaga

I know he's not a wear long sleeves to pelt bowler like Ashwin.

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 15:24:32 

In reply to JahJah

So,what's Miller's stock delivery to a left handed batsman?

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:24:55 

The Three Stooges are here to lotion each other. Interesting.

 
Headley 2016-12-12 15:25:20 

In reply to JahJah

Something is strange about Gvenkat and to a lesser extent his 'pardner' who wants you to write about what he decides is of interest to him and should be of interest to you. And when you choose to defend your right to focus on what concerns you he makes it a racial issue. lol lol lol

Did these guys attend classes in the mastery of racism or is it in the genes?

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 15:25:37 

In reply to JahJah

You have camos...bring batty_forever along..

 
Devin 2016-12-12 15:28:11 

I saw Nikita bowl once, he reminded me of a left arm version of Rawle Lewis. Extremely innocuous and ineffective.

Spinners in the Caribbean are completely useless, and the batsmen are ever worse because they continue to let these mediocre trundlers bamboozle them.

For God's sake, Mahendra Nagamootoo, Ryan Hinds and Rawle Lewis use to give these batsmen diarrhea.

 
Devin 2016-12-12 15:30:36

The skunt just said Ashwin wears long sleeves. When was the last time Ashwin wore long sleeves?

 
gvenkat 2016-12-12 15:30:41 

In reply to JahJah

So basically it's a whining/bitching excercise for your countryman? The usual act of crying wolf about injustice done to a jamaican.. got it..

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:30:52 

In reply to Headley

I was wondering if that is what he was doing talking about 'black prism' but I see how quick he was to abandon this line of argument.

I'd love for him to revisit though.

Jahjah doesn't watch international cricket..his international cricket is limited to Jamaica vs .......

Who is whining and bitching? I know you and your crew do that for a living.

We are simply stating facts. That's a crime now?

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 15:32:59 

In reply to JahJah

So, Ashwin wears long sleeves? lol

 
Devin 2016-12-12 15:33:31 

Bring Yadi along to recite poetry so he can set the mood. I'll see if I can get hold of Virat who will be able to bring Gayle, since she's staying at Virat's house.

Devin 2016-12-12 15:34:39 

In reply to Khaga

And Jamaican cricket isn't broadcasted anywhere, not even the radio. He must be playing out these games in his head, something that he's accustomed to doing.

Show me the whining and bitching about Miller not getting selected. Can't wait to see it.

Did he ever bowl with one though? He is calling out the chuckers

English language comprehension. So you're admitting he has worn long sleeves, correct?

 
JahJah 2016-12-12 15:38:13 

In reply to gvenkat

So he wore it just to bat?

Anyway, let's stick to what this thread is about.

Start a thread for home bullyism if you want to talk about Ashwin like you try to do about Vernon.

 
Khaga 2016-12-12 15:38:23

BTW, this is about Miller..lets continue..

Even here Miller gets no props - thread overrun!

No justice! No peace!

 
WestDem 2016-12-12 21:12:21 

Miller would be 35 in May 2017, with a career of no wickets in his only test match and 41 wickets in 46 ODI's, it would be a miracle to give anodda shot at the senior level... the funny thing is the same bunch of fcuks calling for Miller are the same one dat knock other spinners in de region! lol lol lol razz

 
ponderiver 2016-12-13 03:48:41

Cornfused 2016-12-13 10:11:44 

A threat at the regional level only . We have had a plethora of spinners who cannot trouble international batsmen .

R.Lewis
I Roots
Shane S.
A. Jaggernauth
R. Austin


to name a few

Real spinners in the region that can trouble international batsmen are Bishoo, Badree , Narine and Benn and Gayle when he gives it a turn . I am not sold on Warrican , K.Braff is another player who can bowl as well as R. Chase and Permaul.
