Guys allyuh just missed Jason on Mason

 
openning 2017-03-14 19:56:29 

The show is almost over, but he called in to the show, and was on for about 15-20 minutes.
He is a very smart and someone who communicate well.
He also could be a CID, FBI secret agent

From listening to Jason Holder, Andrew is all talk without solutions.
He has never spoken to Jason about Elementary mistakes, even thugh they had been on elevators together.
Jason invited to have a drink, because he respect him, and love his commentary.

I would not call it confrontation, he expressed himself and asked questions
Note, he express his like for Andrew's commentary, but asked him why he has not spoken to him

I agreed with you, it was not a confrontation, but he address Mason criticism of his captaincy

I am impressed in the way youngsters handle situations and people, some of us would not have the level head to understand Andrew has a role as a commentator.
To asked him, how come you have not spoken to me, is what I like about him.
Them older generation would had called into to the show and cussed him.

 
analyst-kid 2017-03-14 21:05:10 

I am also a big critic of Holder's captaincy...but he handled the bowlers well in that last ODI despite losing badly.

He should have tried Mohammed after Nurse and Bishoo were being plundered but you can't fault him for shying away from introducing more spin.

At the beginning of his call, Jason sounded muddled about his grievance with Mason.

I heard something like: "Andrew, I like you and your show but, you're saying some bad things about me, can we meet for a drink later?"

But Holder gets credit for being bold enough to call in. Good that he's not hiding from the people. And he eventually spoke with clarity and vision about the team.

You and I saw it differently, I heard a guy that was willing to ask questions of a guy, who has not spoken to a player.
It just like most of us on this MB, we love to insult players, WICB and anyone one out of sight, but knows nothing of nurturing or asking questions, that are not opened ended.
We love demeaning others.

Did you read the last part of my post Sar? I was complementary about our captain Holder there. You either did not see that section or chose to ignore it in your hasty reply.

And, how does my constructive critique about Jason's tentative beginning become, in your mind, " insulting players and demeaning others"

Are we in the Caribbean incapable of calmly responding to criticism? Are players exempt from criticism? When was the last ice age? and was that the last time West Indies won a cricket series?

I did not need to read any thing after that, was Jason grieved?
Words matter, jason was first complimenting Andrew, then asked him why he never spoke to him, even when in an elevator together.
I also must say, Andrew was not confrontational

Jason is a smart guy, your buddy Andrew was a super host this evening, allowed Jason to speak and he listened.
It was not confrontational, as Andrew usually is.

Andrew knew that he overly criticized Jason in the past without providing solutions, you would have thought that Mason being a local commentator would have engaged young Holder over the time.

Bro, I think Andrew Mason has not taken any classes to improve today level of dealing with the listeners.
He just dont understand words matter, and ways to speaking about field setting and captaincy.
But I still expect him and other arrogant bajans not to be condescending, with a microphone.

 
Atl_View 2017-03-15 00:29:08 

still trying to understand how this cal will influence West Indies cricket?
Looks like 2 Bajans want to publicly announce they will have a drink. That is great

exactly!!

Jason is a good cricketer but has no place captaining a west indies team........ sorry if it offends my bajan friends but it is what it is

Mason is as poor as they come .... i make no apologies for that ........ Jason needs to stay as far way from him as possible.......


for the umpteenth time i repeat Wilkinson senior is the only commentator worth listening to from Bim

You seem to be a High Jumper, moving from a phone call, to the improvement of West Indies cricket.

Folks, as a commentator Andrew Mason has absolutely no obligation to communicate with Jason Holder about any real or perceived deficiencies in Jason's captaincy of the West Indies cricket team. In fact it will be outright wrong to so do.

THIS IS NOT ANDREW'S ROLE AS A CRICKET COMMENTATOR.

 
doosra 2017-03-15 12:55:22 

In reply to Courtesy

But is he only a commentator?

can he not appoint himself an expert and then try to share expertise with others however he see fit?

 
openning 2017-03-15 13:25:52 

In reply to Courtesy
Andrew is also a host of a Radio program, who has no problem in degrading players.
if he is man enough to stand behind a microphone to label players, he could act like a gentleman, like he did on his show yesterday
I must say, Jason soften his tone

Lol.. I was expecting your very constructive comment to connect the phone call from His Excellency Jason Holder and the future of West Indies Cricket.
Looks like it was just a local event in Bajan land rolleyes
