Slippery fella did not waste anytime on cricinfo:

Matt: "Surely Blackwood comes back in for Singh, miles better fielder, 3 years younger and looks a better bat" -- Blackwood is such a talent, and throws away his wicket so much. But yeah, I'd definitely pick him over Vishaul any day, on the evidence of this series

In reply to voiceofreason... you first me.

big grin

Unchanged team despite the glaring deficiencies from the previous 2 test. hmmmm.

Ok you pick him over Blackwood for the first 2 but nothing can explain 3rd test selection especially trying to force a series win. shock shock

 
natty_forever 2017-05-12 16:50:03 

In reply to carl0002... they did the same during the ODIs also. Selectors refuse to change team regardless.

I only defend my hommie if they are attacked with provocation.

lol lol lol

 
natty_forever 2017-05-12 16:52:21 

In reply to RemainsUnknown... however, maybe Hety can develop ... how old is Singh, and should we give him time to develop?

 
natty_forever 2017-05-12 16:52:48 

In reply to tc1... a know, regardless.

blackwood earned his drop
this guy earned his spot also

SADLY ......

he just didn't hold it with both hands i don't see him on the next tour

 
natty_forever 2017-05-12 17:13:08 

In reply to hawk... Chase never did much during the FC season either, if that's where you coming from.

 
DIEHARD 2017-05-12 17:14:32 

In reply to natty_forever

Chase managed to average 38 ish if i remember correcly.not far from 40..Blackwood ..low 30s

edit

Chase averaged over 40 bruh..he did what was required to show some form.

Blackwood..32..in dung heap..its Hetmyer who averaged 38.btw Singh..looking every bit like that 26 dung heap average..I really feel for these guys..not their fault..

 
natty_forever 2017-05-12 17:15:37 

In reply to DIEHARD...ok.

In reply to Larr Pullo

Blackwood deserved a drop more so than Singh deserved a pick but Singh did what they asked of him to be selected

 
hawk 2017-05-12 19:14:00 

In reply to natty_forever

Chase didn't exactly light it up during the last PCL but he had an "ok" series in Pakistan, but he keep his play by scoring runs and taking wickets in this series

Singh didn't do much Last PCL either but had a good A tour to Sri Lanka and earned his spot by scoring a ton in practice game, as i said before he hasn't grab his opportunity by the hands

Perhaps the elevated occasion is too much for Mister. It happens, but currently he's an embarassment and should spare us the pain of watching him on the field.

 
Runs 2017-05-12 19:59:49 

Except for Chase and Holder none of the WI bastmen look convincing. They are clueless how to handle the bounce and turn from Shah, Amir is moving the ball and I see batsmen not sure if they should leave or play. These guys have to practice, practice, practice if they plan on surviving international calibre bowlers. Our FC pitches etc are not going to prepare them. Use tapeball on concrete, wet it, get bowling machines etc.

 
hawk 2017-05-12 19:59:53 

In reply to sunfish

I had no issues with giving him the opportunity, but he has had a torrid time and looked out of depth, i don't see him in the test match, maybe PCL is his level

I referred to Singh as Larro "homie" but -------

it that a true statement or you conveniently omitted Dowrich who batted with more confident than any player to day

What is not his fault ?

 
Fahim 2017-05-12 21:40:07 

Singh experiment will end after this test. It's one thing giving your wicket away with a loose shot.
But this guy just can't bat. It's like his bat has all edges and no middle

 
Baje 2017-05-12 21:57:37 

In reply to Fahim
He just stays back too far to the pacers. He is not really accustomed to bowlers who move the ball around. I am sure that the batting coach is working on it, but when you are successful doing one thing, it is hard to re tool, especially in the heat of the battle.

I have watched all 3 tests, have you? wink

It is Ambris time.

 
Norm 2017-05-12 22:35:42 

In reply to Larr Pullo

Sure.

Talented guys like Blackwood who become complacent will have their lunches eaten by the hardworking types like Vishaul. Blackwood will be back in the WI Test team tho, regardless of Vishaul Singh's Test future.

 
Titleist 2017-05-13 09:14:40 

I don't get all this venom directed at Singh. Sure, he doesn't exactly look good playing the moving ball....which WI batsman can play those type of deliveries well? Though, I must say I am impressed with Chase's batting.

Singh lacks confidence right now, I hope he gets another series. He was involved in a crucial partnership with Hope in the last match.... Hope's only good score in 18 innings so far.

 
Larr Pullo 2017-05-13 14:01:12 

In reply to Norm

How does Blackwood become "complacent" between test series? He's in the team at the end of one test series, and out of the team by the next...
