I do not know if he is doing it, but Cornwall should intensify his fitness program if he wants to get into the WI Test team.

AB Fudadin c Carty b Cornwall 6

1-35 (Fudadin, 10.1 ov)

Looks like he started to bowl early too

Some logic here (my logic anyway)...

If Jumbo can trundle 26 consecutive overs, doesn't it translate to him being fit enough to play at any level?

Watching Nurse at bat during the just concluded ODI series, he doesn't look much smaller than the jumbo kid.

I will keep being an advocate for Cornwall. He is being unjustly kept back for dumb reasons. His quality and ability overrides any excuses being made to stifle him from test cricket now!

He is accustomed to bowling marathon spells under Kieran Powell's captaincy. Nothing new. Fitness comes in different shapes and sizes.

What's so outstanding about Cornwall's bowling stats?

Here are the bowling stats of the top spinners in the PCL....

1) Nikita Miller, 58 wkts @ ave of 14.29
2) Veerasammy Permaul, 40 wkts @ ave of 17.10
3) Roston Chase, 24 wkts @ ave of 19.16
4) Jomel Warrican, 32 wkts @ ave of 20.34
5) Imran Khan, 44 wkts @ ave of 20.68
6) Damion Jacobs, 34 wkts @ ave of 21.38
7) Shane Shillingford, 39 wkts @ ave of 24.30
Rahkeem Cornwall, 38 wkts @ ave of 27.36

Miller has a considerably better wicket-haul and average than Cornwall, for example....

overweight people are susceptible to heart disease and stroke. This fact is more important than the fitness focus. I won't want to see Mister collapse while taking a sharp single. Cornwall should reduce his bulk for health reasons.

He continues to present a headache for selectors

In reply to mikesiva
What about strike rate? To me that is a more meaningful statistic than average.

Who will he replace

He is entitled to drop dead where and whenever he chooses whether you like it or not

In reply to sunfish

You mean the NFL pkayers been dying from Heart failure early and often considering more than half the players are over 240 lbs? All of them fitter than most people.
Ive said it here I believe Cornwell may havr a Hypo Thyroid problem that can be held in check with meds. I know 2 athletes in both Tennis and Volleyball who has the problem which is a lifetime one via genes. It has nothing to do with how much you eat! You can eat a saucer of food for breakfast lunch and dinner and the carbs will not burn off easily. Living in the Caribbean it is easy to miss those types of genetic diseases such as that and Venus' The technology is nog there and the doctors dont know to look for it. In other words just like you guys are assuming it is simply diet those docs do the same when a total screening of the blood for any kind that affects weight needed.

If it was simply overweight due to food Cornwall would not be as athletic abd agile. That shows its another issue.

First he's Jumbo not jumbo

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Frigging insulting you guys are! Following the lead of the foreign papers who tend to insult others. If he was English they would used Giant of a man or "gentle giant" fugging idiots

In reply to tc1
Definitely a T20 and an ODI player for sure at this time. He does bat better than the frontline spinners we got as well.

His contacts may need to send him to get bloodwork done and see an Endo. I dont know any specialists in the region.

In reply to voiceofreason

Call him what you like, he looks like a Jumbo to me.

In reply to Drapsey

You sound like a Dumbo to me.

To all the leedots squealers I meant to correct the yadie illusionist by saying Jimbo but auto correct ruined it.

Scar rest yuh rass. Where were you when Cheffete Ryan Hinds and roti Ravi etc?

Hug up VOR and whine whine whine

I'm wondering if it is his size or stats that kept Tamar out of the WI side.
