Will Guyana's failure force change?

 
Larr Pullo 2017-02-13 13:36:58 

Will they retain the COS?

When will they get rid of the following?

Shiv
Barnwell
Foo
Beaton
Bishoo (From the 50 over team)
Fudadin


Surely there are younger talents who are looking for an opportunity to step up?

Are they preforming in local cricket and trials and not getting picked?

From what I was following the players who performed got picked.

Seems as if the team was not well prepared after selection.

More the reason they should clean house!!

So lemme as you, Is Gummy a GCB selector, or privately operating under the employment of the franchise, which is owned by??????

Well Romario Shepherd springs to mind... he performed very well locally and was the best pace bowler taking the most wickets and attracting a lot of favourable comment in the press. I've never seen him and can't really comment but there are those on here that say that he is ahead of Wintz and Barnwell.

Lil Shiv was among the leading scorers in local cricket this season and trials


leaving Sheps out was a travesty

best fast bowler in local cricket,

how could Keon Joseph not make this team when the man had a solid A team tour?

the dynamics are different. i think it is more owned by the people who run the GCB than a public entity

 
doosra 2017-02-13 13:52:25 

Crandon should not coach the 50-50 and t20 teams

his record at that has been woeful

he's better at the 4 day

How many players has Guyana placed on the WI team? Generally the team that wins is the team that has experienced players who did not make the WI team. I believe Guyana is in that category.

Agree....Keon Joseph should surely have been in side... he looks a better bowler than Beaton to me.

 
Norm 2017-02-13 14:49:00 

If those running Guyana cricket are interested only in social prominence, why would team or individual performance really matter?

This cabal, as part of Dave's, isn't going to disappear until WI cricket becomes a total international disgrace.

Let's hope the youngsters start taking their formal school education seriously, so that their lives won't depend on decisions from very selfish people.

In reply to Larr Pullo

I agree with you there...

No team should have a coach then. Just wait till their players don't get pick and collect what's theirs?

Beaton among the top wicket takers in this year's tournament, unjustified criticism wink

 
robbo 2017-02-13 15:47:38 

In reply to Runs

Not necessarily criticising Beaton.... he's done ok.... but of late Joseph looks the better bowler.

 
doosra 2017-02-13 15:51:26 

In reply to Runs

14 wickets from 7 matches is not entirely penetrative

many of those came at the end

did he set up any match at all for Guyana this season?

none of the bowlers looked like anyways

Joseph and Shepherd need to play sometime soon

Also

Can one really look at Wintz and say he's better than Joseph or Shepherd?
