Rayard Emrit Must make the ODI Team

 
Emir 2017-02-14 17:47:16 

He is one of the most consistent bowlers in short form cricket for years now. During the commentary last week, the legendary Ambrose said as much.

Our first choice 6 ODI bowlers against England must come from: (In the absence of Bravo, Narine, Ravi)

Gabriel
Joseph
Emrit
Powell
Pierre
Hosein

Why don't you just select the entire Red Force team

I do not see islands I only see WI and if that mean 11 Grenadians, I don't care.

Now, from the 6 bowlers I listed, 3 are Red Force, so not sure why you make that statement. In fact, the Red Force bowling has been the best in the tournament, so it follows, their bowlers would dominate the top of the class.

So where is Ashley Nurse?

He's the leading wicket taker or did you just pick who u liked. big grin

Good point.

I am willing to consider him, but know being the highest wicket taker in itself isn't the criteria.

Has he been bowling better than Pierre and Hosein?

He must be, he has the most wickets.

So clearly, ure just picking who u like.

These fellas don't see further than most wickets taken or,highest runs scored,there is more to it than that,but that counts.

No Sir, what if he took a big haul against the weakest team when the state of the game was already decided. You pick bowlers on the following:

1. Wickets taken at certaain points of the game- the wickets impact on the state of the match
2. Wickets against the top opposition
3. Wickets taken in "unhelpful" pitches
4. Strike rate
5. Death bowling analysis
6. Early wickets
7. Economy rate

 
analyst-kid 2017-02-15 07:48:40 

But if you going with economy rate and strike rate then Benn is the leading bowler. 14 WKTS@ 8.78 ECON RATE 2.73

Emrit is the same kind of bowler as REIFER and MAYERS and yet they bring MORE to the table than him

BOWLING

EMRIT 6 WKTS@ 37.83 8 MATCHES
REIFER 16 WKTS@ 19.68 8 MATCHES
MAYERS 14 WKTS@ 27.35 8 MATCHES

BATTING

EMRIT 26 RUNS @ 6.50
REIFER 189 RUNS @ 31.50
MAYERS 171 RUNS @ 34.20

 
OneCarib 2017-02-15 10:31:46 

Red Force bowling may have been the best only if you regard the oppostion the same as well.

Any WI ODI squad should also include Jon-Russ Jaggesar and Imran Khan....batting should be around E. Lerwis, J Mohammed and Ottley...this is the future of WI to get strong! lol lol lol

 
TheTrail 2017-02-15 12:26:01 

Emrit is 35 years old - he played Two ODI for the WI.



Overs bowled: 14

Runs : 99

econ: 7.07

This guy should have been out to pasture a long time ago. lol lol

 
Andy99 2017-02-15 12:33:24 

Look at what Kid posted, the stats are there.
Emrit always a steady performer, never really dominant. Always there are guys ahead of him.
And he old too.
