No Rovman! No WI Win, Cannot win with Test team

Selectors need to select an ODI team not a Test team to play ODI matches, we will now stand a real chance of automatic qualification because of clueless selectors. I cannot really blame the players, they are playing according to their level of talent but selectors have to recruit more aggressive batsmen for the especially in the top order. WI first 10 overs had 46 dot balls out 60, that's over 75% of dot balls and that's where we are losing ODI matches.

Now that we lost the series due to poor selection of players, hopefully the clueless will develop some type of clue that only ODI typed players can help us to win ODI matches.

He is protesting the use of less talented players over him, causing another big loss to the WI team, fans thought that he should have let the ball go for six.

Agreed. That's when you have to shine as a player.. show your class in the field. Dropping catches in the field doesnt inspire confidence to the team or for him.

So he drops a catch.. A catch vs avge? How does that compute?

He was just emulating his bunch of classless selectors!

Why would he want to emulate them if he is supposedly better?

In reply to Chrissy... does Paint have that average in List As? And did any great player drop a catch in the past?

 
natty_forever 2017-03-06 11:42:04 

Well there will be no change soon. Not when these selectaz think they are the best thing since slice bread.


Hence I am again suggesting something mentioned here before.

Do away with selectaz and have scouts. The technical staff will then select the 30 for camp. The coach and captain then pick the 15/13.

Anytime a team is selected they will be perceived biases and insularity.
Every man for him self or total Independent by each Island, is the only way to stop fan's beliefs.

 
natty_forever 2017-03-06 16:27:56 

In reply to openning... no, picking a winning side would.

Amen bro! The emphasis should be on winning and not "investing" players.

no CORNWALL, no wet undies win!

I bet CornWall would have done a Braithwaithe on the Hinglish!

Agreed! The enemies of WI cricket are intent on destroying our national pastime choosing national pride over a genuine WI ODI team. Unless changes are made we could easily slip from 9th to 10th position as this team cannot beat Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, or Wales. I guess no one cares as long as their national flag is flying high! Sir Garfield Sobers might have to bawl thus time about the depress state of WI cricket.
