Ireally wanted to finish my career in Barbados with the Super50 being played here

Dwayne Smith pushed out of 50-over cricket would seem more apt.
He had a lot of unfulfilled promise

Prasad?
In reply to openning
He could come and play for the Leewards Hurricanes and then stick it to the Bajans.
In reply to openning
Is he still playing across the line early in his innings
In reply to voiceofreason
Allyuh need lots of help, we will send Kirk,Benn and Tino.
If someone has not played for a WI team in any format recently, he will find it difficult to make the Barbados team.
In reply to openning
Good call Smitty, ket a younger player be selected.
In reply to openning
ah guess them bajan selector getting serious. would you pick a half man or a whole man.windies know in 89 inns he average 18.57.no ton
Too fat need to go on 'diat'
T20 is ok for he!

In reply to anandgb
He fluked his way to a test century on debut vs South Africa in South Africa. Kudos to him.

I broke ass man need all the help that is offered, Tino & Joseph, will be firing faster than anything we have seen in the last 10 years.
Kirk has plenty tons, and Benn can help the big guy.
In reply to openning
I say no to their baggage especially Benn and Best. Kirk's 26.92 List A Average is ordinary so it is best we stick with who we have. Would like to get Larry Joseph but perhaps he will play for CCC.

Mediocre is a compliment for Dwayne Smith.
In reply to anandgb
Why was it said?
Dwayne Smith? Really?
In reply to tc1
It's not like our ODI side did brilliantly without Smith in Zimbabwe....
Pack the side with more untalented youngsters.
Smith's not worried...next month, he'll be playing T20s in Pakistan. After that, he's on to the IPL. Then, it's the CPL...he has a busy schedule.
Who needs West Indies cricket?
But how a man get selected over the world to play $30000 a day cricket and cahn get a play for 3 cent cricket?
Smith should have made himself available for CCC or Leewards...CCC I believe would take him in a flash.

Sometimes your comments does mek me wonder if you are really in tune with what is happening in our cricket..............these fellas have been labelled, and the establishment is not going to pick them because they feel the men doan care bout WI cricket, but you cayn call me a ho and then vex if you see me up bush hill. and that is exactly how the establishment operating with de men...........label them as T20 specialists and then annoyed whey they ply their trade in the t20 league........he would now have nuff time to spend with his wife and young family..............
In reply to cherri
hey cherri....I dun know this already...you forget I live in Barbados?
those guys selecting can't help being jealous and annoyed with guys like Smith making a living out of cricket and money they never dreamed about.
In their position they are now in position to lord over guys like Smith. But I don't think Smith is one of those who doesn't care about WI cricket.
Smith was excluded already from the four day team by the late George Linton so this nothing new.
In reply to mikesiva
i think Smith did the right thing , or maybe we expect too much from him.at least he can make a living playing T20
In reply to analyst-kid
Smith adds nothing to a bim lineup in 4D or OD
In reply to tc1
The good thing about Smith not there is that the others would develop their one day skills esp in the batting.
In reply to shivnotout The man is so over weight, and also have a double chin. All that pies he has been eating. You can not be a athlete and look like that. Being fit is very important. I watch him just on Sport Max talking about why he retired. He also have sport store run by his sister and cousins.
