Forming the strike

 
Timpy 2017-05-14 17:40:20 

The entire Caribbean is on Chase shoulders. I prefer to see him trying to form the strike than to see Gabriel facing the first ball of an over then get out

I'm surprised I didnt see more posts about this. I was confused as to why Chase put so much trust in the tail-enders. Even in the over that Gabriel had a brain fart there was a single to be taken and they refused. Even the commentator said it looks like Chase thinks its the best option for Gabriel to be facing Yasir...

To be clear, I'm not blaming Chase but he needed to assume the responsibility.

Fix your spelling nuh. If you misspell a basic word twice it casts doubt on the merit of anything you say thereafter.

how come he didnt farm when Bishoo was batting? cool

 
Discourse 2017-05-15 13:58:47 

There are different ways to farm and it is not simply about 'taking a single off the last ball just to face the first of the next over'.

He had already recognized that Angel was handling Shah even more competently than other batters. Playing Amir and Abbas would have been problems. Actually this was explained by commies and Chase handled it correctly.......well until the last ball.

His spelling is correct according to the region in Jamaica from which he hails.

In reply to JahJah

JahJah, I'm older than you are, and in addition I'm from the deep Jamaica countryside, after which I spent some 8 years or so living in the Kingston area. I've never heard those two words (form; farm) used interchangeably.

In SweMaica, they are interchangeable..

It doesn't matter how much older than me you are because I have a grandmother in her 90s and she has used it...and has done so to this day.

I've also heard many others use it....as well as fawming...and faaming.

That's thing with patois and why translating English into (standard) patois (the Bible for example, as they were proposing) isn't really a good idea...or really doable.

I was joking about Timpy himself because I don't know where he's from. However, Jamaicans do do/say it.

lol. You have no clue.

Drapsey has his experiences. Others have theirs.

Cool, JahJah.

 
Khaga 2017-05-15 18:56:39 

In reply to Drapsey

Don't you have a grandmother older than Jahjah's that knew the difference between farming and forming?

 
Drapsey 2017-05-15 20:20:23 

In reply to Khaga

JahJah is not saying that the people don't know the difference between the two, but mangle the pronunciation because of the way in which they speak (my understanding anyway). Yes, Jamaicans are notorious for that. The confusion undoubtedly emanated from the history of Spanish, English, plus a mixture of African and Indian languages (or dialects).

I've heard fawming/faaming (as JahJah wrote) which might be used in substitution for either farming or forming. As I pointed out, however, I've never seen/heard the spelling/pronunciation of farming and forming used interchangeably.
