1 over of batting by the openers

3 deliveries for Powell and 3 for Lewis.

I was all for Evin Lewis but he looks out of depth at International level.

Interestingly, this is the same pitch the WI Quicks struggled while English Bowlers just are mesmerizing the WI batsmen.

In reply to Pacy... too many dung heap bullies. Hence the need to let players show their worth over 3 seasons. When will we learn.

The experience is pushed away from the game with arrogance stating the youth will take care of WI cricket. Now it is close to 5 years and I cant see a single player established in the WI side...

At least Powell has a 200 strike rate.

I'm inclined to agree....unless the on-field production is exceptional...(international standard that is)

Brathwaite goes now. 13-3. Really pathetic seeing WI team look hapless with not a single player who can even give a reason to watch the match.

In reply to SirGarny... there will always be exceptions, however, we going on as if we have a pool.


J Al, is the only one.

KB is a specialist opener, but they need to protect him so send in the baseballer,who is having even a bigger struggle .

In reply to Pacy... he batting now. J Mo to the rescue.

3 Seasons is not going to prove anything Natty. All we have today are just form players and not classy ones that we had in the past.

I do not have Jason Mohamed at a high regard, but he is in form and is showing in his better batsmen. If you keep the 3 season criteria you will not have anyone to select

So are most Windies batsmen...they feel it's the quickest way to put lots of bread on the table. The top retainer contract offered by the WICB is peanuts compared to IPL dollars....Gayle, Bravo, Narine, Russell, Pollard....all millionaires. wink lol

 
TheTrail 2017-03-09 13:11:55 

excuses, excuses, even from the comms.

 
natty_forever 2017-03-09 13:14:01 

In reply to Pacy.... we had people, they were ran from the team. These boys would have benefited much from the longer seasons and playing against them. Or going to 'HPC" and A team tours.


Another thing, isn't Cornwall better than Nurse and Carlos? There will be exceptions.

What more can anyone do? In the past there were atleast some options whom you call for. Today all fans and commies know there are not alternatives.

All fans can do is just crib and hope some miracle happens so that they can be glad. But generally the process now is to mentally be prepared for a loss every match.

After a strong showing by Powell in the regional s I was expecting him to do well but he has got exposed in 3 matches.

For all we know cornwall might not make a difference
