An Ambris century here would muddy the waters

 
Yadi 2017-03-24 15:30:13 

For either Leon Johnson or Shane Dowrich

who are short of putting up big innings.

The weight of Ambris'es runs makes it

impossible to continue to ignore him.

Ambris reminds me of the great Irving

Shillingford (who is an academic).

Two point to consider. gotta credit matchy for point out that he failed 5 innings prior since Brown called him out

second (non matchy point) how valuable is dot vs dot performances?

 
POINT 2017-03-24 17:32:34 

I have not yet seen Ambris , but I have seen Irving Shillingford from
age 17 , and it was quite obvious
to allwho saw Irving Shillingford he
was a very special Batsman , blessed with an array of attacking
strokes .

Ambris was about 12 years old when I was in SVG ; and I did not get to see him playing Cricket , but
I do not think that he currently can
be compared to Irving Shillingford .

That what happens when you are one dimensional, Ambris just played eight games in the 50 overs competition, these games were stream for the world to see.

I do not think that he currently can
be compared to Irving Shillingford .


Tell us how you can compare a batsman who you not seen, to someone you have seen?
Bro, leave this kind of things to the cricket fans, who watch the game, and have seen both players.

It is going to stuff to get rid of Kraigg, Shai, Dowrich and Chase on the test team, if they continue batting.
The ODI team has plenty holes so anything can happen in the squad.

Yes I did, as a matter of fact, he plays cricket in bim, for Cherrie's club.
He and Harding are Carltonites.

Thanks Mr. Ambris - this is what you need do to stake a claim. Let this be the beginning of consistency; this is how you build a resume. Selectors can't ignore continues production like this - good luck in the next series.

Dowrich was a partner in the last test against Pakistan
Chase is showing everyone he can spin the ball along with his batting.

Exactly

 
timeless99 2017-03-24 18:23:26 

Chase,hope,Dowrich and even kraig has not cemented a place in the Wi test team cz they have done ok without doing exceptional.if Ambris cont scoring runs and those guys don't take they game to the next level I don't see why he can't get a look in.

 
dayne 2017-03-24 18:26:52 

In reply to openning

So who would partner Kraigg at the top of the inning for Test matches? Ambris in my opinion could put pressure on Samuels.

Kraigg
?
Bravo, he should be playing cricket
Hope
Blackwood, it is up to him, if he want to play test cricket
Chase
Dowrich
Holder ???
?
Joseph
Gabriel

Leewards bowling is better than it has been in the past particularly due to the inclusion of Joseph and Cornwall.

Ambris for the Pak ODIs.

 
POINT 2017-03-24 20:59:04 

Ambris is at the beginnig of his career , therefore there cannot yet be any comparison betweenIrving Shillingford & Sunil Ambris .

BTW , one year in his career in Regional Cricket Shillingford was
the best batsman in the REGION ,
The Bums in the WICBC gave the trophy to Vivian Richards to give
Irving Shillingford .

I cite this to illustrate that it is crass
stupidity at this stage of his career
to compare Sunil Ambris to Irving
Shillingford .

Kraigg is currently our incumbent opener, so not sure why you have his name there. He has actually made runs for west indies especially the last year. Dowrich deserves to stay as well, he has been doing a good job down at #6/7 and that last innings in UAE was brilliant.

Chase since that ton against India hasn't been up to much, Shai in all fairness in test cricket should have never been given the opening spot. He like Leon Johnson have been made scape goats at that spot.

I like the competition though, Chase and Blackwood will know that with Ambris and Shai Hope form, one of their spot could be up for grab with another string of poor performance.

Is he batting too low in this weak batting line-up?
He plays for Carlton, Roland Butcher in the last match was saying in the match against the Pride, he should give up the gloves and bat higher.
BTW, one of Roland guys from Dominica is in the squad and keeps for Cave Hill.

 
jen 2017-03-24 23:57:19 

In reply to openning

Well I think he should give up the keeping for sure, as far as the batting go, #5 aint a bad thing. He may faster get in Windies team as a #5 in test given Shais form big grin

 
CricketLuva4 2017-03-25 08:43:50 

In reply to jen

Chase's batting is still a question in tests. But he also sends down plenty of overs for us.

 
openning 2017-03-25 11:06:47 

Ambris just put his hands up, the selectors has to be looking.
Scoring runs get you selected, and he is scoring runs.

 
Narper 2017-03-25 11:31:30 

The 200 for Ambris came up in 273m, 199b, 25x4, 5x6.

Mr Point, there are times when Yadi

uses the z English Language to stimulate

a certain Historical comparison .....

I am an academic. Therefore there are

subtle nuances associated with the manner
