He is more of a t20 player than test material

TTvJA Scorpions 100/3 (24 Overs). J Blackwood 55, P Palmer 13.

Palmer out just before lunch for 13

Bwoy he really not looking test material at all.


Real frustrating, cos it would be nice if he really can become that player he was looking like being.

An aggresive shotmaker, who can score test tons.

Right now he's jus not getting those big scores at the FC level that Kraigg grinds out.

I am beginning to think he has no interest in test cricket.

Nope, jus been seeing it all season, run a ball 40s and 50s, or jus out for spit.

This guy is another Samuels/ Ricardo/ Garrick/ XMan, dissapointed

Then again, thats an insult to Samuels, who has a FC double hundred.

In 39 Test innings Blackwood has remained at the crease for more than 120 min (1 session) 8 times including 1 time over 2 sessions.

Ok. Meaning what exactly?

Thats a handy stat, but how does that compare to other test batsmen?

Answer: How many tests batsmen score a century in one session?

lol lol lol

If the answer is plenty batsmen...then Blackie had the potential to score eight centuries in 39 innings.

So is that what Maispwi is trying to say? lol

 
DIEHARD 2017-03-25 05:45:12 

All WI batsmen in the last five years who have batted minimum 20 innings

that average was 50 not so long ago and heading only one way

 
DIEHARD 2017-03-25 22:26:57 

Failed again.

Kmt. Not stamping his class leaves me to assume he has none

Stats demonstrated that although Blackwood does not score heavily in regional cricket, he is by far the most productive young player in test cricket, and with the most fifties. Personally I would rather a guy on my team who scores most of his runs in test cricket than scoring heavily in regional cricket but a weak test and international cricketer, just saying!
big grin big grin

I'm not disputing he's one of our best.

Just pointing out that that does not bode well for the team.

As he cant string together any big scores at this level.

It doesnt look like he will average more than he is currently, fans were hoping for more

I can understand your concerns but he seems to be the type of player who steps up to the challenge of international cricket not sure if he is bored during regional cricket. I am trying to remember other WI players with same type of mentality of scoring well in test but not prolific regional scorers.
