Set your sights high young man.

I am very hopeful that Shimron Hetmyer will make his test debut tomorrow. I have full confidence that the young man has the goods to succeed in test cricket and the brains trust of West Indies cricket recognizes his vast potential over many other "batsmen" in the Caribbean.

With the advent of Shai Hope, we are beginning to see the green shoots of a competitive West Indies test team. We now have to find 9 more solid players but the longest journey begins with a first step. We have now taken two very important steps.

Hetmyer: Pakistan tour match a learning moment.

Best of luck to Hope and Hetty.

Remember young cricketers, an endorsement from de Courtesy goes a long way in securing your cricketing future.

Don't disappoint now.

Hope is okay at best with room to improve...

125 101 31 16 16 8 6 215* 35 24 15 71


Hety is being rushed with hope...

31 17* 0 1 5 94 40 74 42 15 44* 1 28 97 22

Hope should be extremely proud of his 60+ average above.

And yes, Shai Hope fails in your flawed "higher standard 40+ every other innings" and yet he succeeds bigly in overall average.

So much for your flawed "higher standard" qualification.

And yeah, you allowed Hetty's 30 sumting to pass but no luck for Hope's two scores of 30+. Your inconsistent pink petty coat and flawed higher standard qualification is showing and quite embarrassingly too.

I hope you are on the money with this call, we sure can use a boost.

I guess you are saying that we should reset the clock on Hope, that we should ignore his 17.0 test average and give him a chance to start over fresh! I agree and would like to see him and other players like him succeed which in the best interest of WI cricket. We will give him that latitude to start fresh tomorrow!
Hope that you will extend the same Courtesy and Latitude to Blackwood.

“I’ve learnt that going through my innings I should take it a ball at a time and a session at a time as well,” the Guyana Jaguars left-hander said.

“[I need to also] just keep my eyes on the ball as much as possible and try and communicate as much as possible with my partner to see what’s going on. Just waiting and being more selective [is also important].”


Good luck young man

Sounds like a sensible young player, now let's hope for symmetry of theory and practical application.

Once again secretary your lack of rudimentary comprehension is understandable.

It would be fruitless to point out that the standard looks at consecutive failure to get past 40 and a 31 followed by a 17* is not a consecutive failure to past 40...

But carry on with your Secretarial feedback I will bring you up to speed as needed.

btw.. removing the obvious high end outlier in SH's score set and he is averaging 40.

by the same practice we remove his lowest score (not an outier) and his average stays at 60+

The point there may be over your head but here's HOPEing you can try!

This only shows that your metric (40+runs every other innings) is not standing on solid enough ground to prove your higher standard postulation with any degree of certainty.

In effect, a 60+ overall batting average does not meet your flawed higher standard and conversely, a less than 30 average can meet your standard.

btw.. removing the obvious high end outlier in SH's score set and he is averaging 40.

Scoring runs can never linear. There will always be an element of skewness or randomness in the data. You can take any batting data set and this will become evident.

So you want to break the rules of the constructs of batting averages in order to conform to your shoite?

And even it were a 40 average it still better than your shoite theory,...as a 40+ score every other innings can result in a less than 30 batting average.

Repeat: A 40+ average is a better metric than your dumbass metric of a 40+ score every other innings.

You are too facting stoopid to assimilate this simple fact.

And further, even going by your dumb ass assertion above, a 40 average in the context of current West Indies cricket still stands out.

Man just admit your higher standard metric is deeply flawed or better yet, get your dogmatic ass off me thread.

Secretary, still waiting for you to provide a real life example.

I know in your secretarial breaks you must read fantasy novels and you live in fantasy land... We deal with real stuff here.

Give a real example of your claim above or STFU!!

And to prove that you are in fantasy land you went and repeat it twice...

as a 40+ score every other innings can result in a less than 30 batting average.


Your continued discussion about average shows clearly that this concept is too heave for the casual paper cut fearing 9 to 5'ers... as i mentioned above...

You are the classic example of arm chair!

Forget it...you dogmatic dummy.

Continue advocating your higher standard for West Indies batsmen is: the achievement of 40+ runs every other innings.

You will never, never, never see the yawning flaw in your postulation although I have plastered it on your face. You dumb ass.

Don't bother posting on this thread...It's not for jackasses like you and your ilk.

Have a great day.

Here are 3 WEST INDIAN batsmen who are pushing this standard or certainly doing a hell of a job at it....

101 22* 58* 1 17 57 5 50 63 15 182

3 52 51 54 22 14 42 5 143

62* 72 50 10 11 2 17* 1 91* 1 59


still waiting you Arm Chair Secretary to come out of your fantasy and show me one reality of the flaw in my standard!! Give me one real life, not make belief, player who is averaging 30 while scoring 40 every other inning or there about.

Don't bother posting on this thread... It's not for jackasses



But you keep posting??? lol lol lol
