Rampaul & Taylor

What is the status on these two?

They are among the leading bowlers this Super 50, and should definitely be included in the squad, but are they "eligible" for selection?

Rampaul a Kolpak?

Didn't Taylor retire?

Yeh from test. Rampaul is not quick enough. We have two medium pacers already

In reply to silver

Which two medium pacers we have ..that are BETTER than Rampaul?

U can't be talking about Carlos??

Carlos can't merit selection to our ODI squad, not based on performances in any format/tournament in the last 6 months

Rampaul is not quick enough.

True ... I looked at him in this tournament and there is no big sting in his attack

You better get used to it. Carlos and Holder are not going anywhere especially under this regime

What does bowling quick have to do with who the best fast bowler is?

Tino Best prolly the fastest bowler we ever produce in these parts..how'd that work out for him?

Rampaul, 48 overs, six matches, 14 wickets @ ave of 13.07 and ER of 3.81
Taylor, 51 overs, six matches, 13 wickets @ ave of 17.23 and ER of 4.39
Holder, 43 overs, six matches, 12 wickets @ ave of 11.58 and ER of 3.19

Carlos, six matches, 26 overs, three wickets @ ave of 34.66 and ER of 4.00

Carlos seems to be doing a Sammy...taking an ODI place but not bowling his quota of overs. We can see why!

lol lolkinda self explanatory, eh??? Fast bowler...bowling quick.. methinks there is a relationship, however convoluted. wink wink

Yep, rhetoric ... but he was actually asking a question hence my reply... smile

 
DIEHARD 2017-02-09 12:10:25 

In reply to Rastaman

SMH...so ..the quickest bowler...is the best fast bowler?

Relevance and context


Rampaul is not quick enough


That was the statement made, that in reference to my comment that he is one of, actually, THE leading fast bowler in the tournament.

So i assume the poster is he saying he is not quick enough, to be considered the best..therefore, what i want to know is.

What he not quick enough for??

Not quick enough to be the best?

He have the most wickets, and he has consistently been among the best, everytime we look at the stats, in any tournament or tour, at any level.

So again I ask, WTF is Ravi Rampaul not quick enough for?

Lol. I figured

 
Starzz 2017-02-10 11:07:41 

Don't matter his figures/stats this super50. Don't think selectors will even consider him.

 
DIEHARD 2017-02-10 12:22:26 

In reply to Starzz
Then the selectors should be replaced
