Good pick Beaton. Samuels not so sure. Beaton , Tonge, Joseph and Cornwall are good attacking options.

Antigua Observer article.

Experienced West Indies batsman, Marlon Samuels, will be joining the Leeward Islands Hurricanes for the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Super50 competition scheduled to start later this month.

This was revealed by Chief Operations Officer (COO) of the Leeward Islands Cricket Board (LICB), Vernon Springer, who also named two other regional players set to join the sub-regional franchise ahead of a preparatory camp here at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground starting January 9.

“We have 20 guys who will be here over the next couple of days or over the next two weeks and we are going to have some trial games. We promised you we are going to have the best franchise and whatever it takes, we are going to make sure it works,” he said.

“The other big name for you is Ronsford Beaton — the Guyanese fast bowler — who is also going to be part of our 20-man squad, and from last year we would have had Daron Cruickshank who is also coming back into the One Day squad,” he added.

Antiguan all-rounder, Orlando Peters, has also been included in the training squad.

Guyana did not get the memo as Beaton was included in the list of players selected to practice for the Guyana squad and published in today's papers. Unless he will play for both teams.

Looks like the authorities have it in for you, VOR.

How much can one man suffer!

This ability to transfer between franchises is a good initiative by WICB.

This team looking good on paper:

Kieran Powell
Montcin Hodge
Marlon Samuels ---Might as well make use of the castoff. Must bat at 3.
Chesney Hughes
Bonner
Hamilton
Orlando Peters
Cornwall
Tonge
Beaton
Joseph

Maybe we can bring in a slow bowler ahead of one of the pacers.

Good good team, and if Chesney no come good, Crusihank come een for him.
We got a good squad on paper man. Seeing that them man training from early should gel well when the competition starts.

Can Marlon and Bonner play together, it will be interesting.

 
sunfish 2017-01-04 19:14:52 

I am a Windward Islander but I think Leewards will make interesting viewing this season.

I will back any emerging player regardless of origin. I am watching Hamilton closely but he needs to continue with his good form.

I really don't anticipate any problems with them playing together as they are both professionals and experienced players.

Is Samuel a professional, have you ever played on the same team as him?
I will not post or expose someone , who knew him and played with him for a number of years.

Time has changed, players are now unfortunately trying to secure their own livelihood, therefore more concerned about contractual obligations now to feed their family and less concerned about offending or been offended by other players.

Never heard of any bad blood between those two. Marlon and Killa, yes.

The question of them playing together on the same team has more to do with the fact that they offer the same (or comparable) services.
