Shai Hope - sweet dreams are made of these
In reply to methodic
Does anyone in Barbados still think bigger bro is better?
Vivian Richards also had a bigger brother who could bat a bit you know.
In reply to Yadi
Bigger bro can bat.
It's a confidence thing.
Didn't it take Shai a while to gain confidence on the international scene???
In reply to Gun_Play
I would love to believe that. But he is really out of his depth.
Can't put bat to ball. Doesn't seem to be in. Control at all.
In reply to Gun_Play... Shai only played 13 test, when was that? So you feel we to give Kyle 13 also?
In reply to runout
Can't put bat to ball. Doesn't seem to be in. Control at all.
I don't know if Kyle can bat or not, but Shai was a bundle of nerves during his first Test and looked mostly out to sea before being dropped.
In reply to Walco
Kyle can bat, but his defense becomes loose, Shai is the real deal.
In reply to methodic
you heard what I said about him
In reply to Gun_Play
Shai always took some games to score runs at the regional level.he dominated his last year at u19 with 3 tons.
I hope that he and Chase get a good score tomorrow.
In reply to Walco
No. That is not it.
The idiots had him out of position.
Position 2 - 14 avg in 5 matches
Position 4 - 38.88 average in 6 matches
The guy does not open for Barbados but because we needed an opener they put a square peg in a round hole. We does really do foolishness.
In reply to Yadi
When Sobers was first selected for Barbados he thought they meant his brother Gerry who most people (and Gary) thought was the better batsman.
In reply to nick2020
Shai was an opening bat for bim u15, it was only after going to Uk he dropped down to 3, with his talent he should be making runs at 1, 2 3......,10, 11.
he is the real McCoy. the anointed one
In reply to Yadi
actually some islanders told me that the English scouts actually wanted his older brother, they were forced into taking Viv.
In reply to tc1
yep, he seems to be the most mature young batsman I can remember in a West Indies team
In reply to methodic
We need 230 runs to win this game. Where will that runs come from
In reply to silver
can Blackwood put down his head?
can Dowrich snap out of his funk?
can Chase survive until after lunch?
Our fortunes really lie with Shai Hope. The kid is special.
the runs is in the middle. If we have a lead of 200 we win
In reply to tc1
U15 is not international.
So it is coincidental that with enough games at 2 he magically succeeded at 4-7 but failed at 2?
In reply to nick2020
if you placed him at any position, he will dominate, he started slow for Bim, he is the 'real deal'ask Seaegg.
In reply to tc1
Stats say otherwise
In reply to methodic
Dorwich can't even catch a cricket ball right now yes it's that bad
In reply to Yadi
the difference between Shai Hope and the other batting talents is that the others have the application of students. Shai Hope have the application of a scholar.
In reply to methodic
Shai, studied in England, so he may understand the conditions, better than the other batsman
We continue to knock these youngsters, yet in this series, the English batsman, had one good test.
In reply to methodic
unnuh good. a series ago Shai Hope was being ridiculed, laughed at and cussed profusely. oh well
In reply to openning
that is an excuse man. i stand to be corrected but Dowrich, Bobo and Chase also played and or studied at the 6 form level in England,
In reply to openning
What did he study? And how long was he there?
I read somewhere...was it A levels?
He looks good....very very solid....uncluttered mind...recipe for big scores
In reply to openning
I am not knocking the youngsters. I am stating facts. Conditions had nothing to do with a couple of these dismissals. Approach was the culprit. Shai works hard and smart off the field and it's showing.
Happy to see a proper looking bajan batsman.very elegant
In reply to sudden
there are people still waiting to ridicule him. When I saw how good he was I called for him to get 25 test. They cuss me too.
