Ambris sitting once more while the team needs batsmen to be on the field of play. Too many bowlers selected for this first ODI.

SUNIL AMBRIS
In reply to Ragga007
The team selected seem to be weaker on bowling, than batting
In reply to Ragga007
WI do not need an egg to fry!!
In reply to buds
Nurse should have stayed on the bench, because he appeared like he wanted to eat a fried egg.
Ambris being treated like Lara when he first got selected to the WI squad
Hopefully Ambris can replicate some of the production that Lara provided to the WI team
In reply to imusic
Tongue in cheek?!!
In reply to Ragga007
Do you posters think about what you post? If you drop a bowler from the group of five, then you are asking Jason M., Marlon S., and/or Chris G. to bowler a combine 8 overs.
Based on your scenario - if Ambris plays and scores 40 (I am being generous), then the non-bowlers in their 8-Overs cannot give up more 40 runs or the WI still loss the game. The change has too be for a batsman.
In reply to imusic
Who was keeping Lara out compared to Ambris?
In reply to Kay... similar, a shythound of that era.
In reply to Kay
binary man among others
In reply to Veracity
I know what I am saying.
What has Nurse and Bishoo done with the bat to compensate for their poor bowling so far or Taylor for that matter?
In reply to Ragga007
Should it not be Powell or Moe, for Ambris?
300 runs with Ambris in the team, is gettable, with the squad selected.
In reply to openning
Spinners were a waste of time.
In reply to Ragga007
Dude this is the team, replacing a bowler for Ambris, would not had made any difference.
I would prefer Holder batting up the order, at six, he has more experience than Moe or Powell.
what does this sunil ambris gat so?
In reply to Raggs
Dottie few supporters!
In reply to WestDem
i'm looking at stats been around long enuff but is he an article to put in and mek a difference or a work in progress?
In reply to Raggs
With a List A average of 51.71 in 20 games with 8 50+ scores and he is only 24 years old...he can be both...
In reply to Raggs
You will see when he is finally given the opportunity to be in the starting 11, which many wannabees have gotten but have failed to delivered for the West Indies.
In reply to Veracity
Keswick Williams played as a bowler, how many overs did he bowl in this match?
Jason Holder played as a bowler, how many overs did he bowl in this match?
In reply to Raggs
Ragga007 say he better than Shai by a mile.
In reply to Ragga007
If Powell not going to be bowled, then he needs to sit for Ambris
In reply to tc1
him better dan shai hope ? Ragga007 deh pon some heavy dope!
In reply to Raggs... LIST A I think he talking.
In reply to natty_forever
dat mean when he get picked he will straight away start to uproot trees with his mighty willow.
In reply to Raggs... he start already!
In reply to natty_forever
he start fart...
In reply to Raggs... do elaborate.
Stats says Ambris is a 50/50 specialist at the mo.
In reply to natty_forever
i just can't remember him doing anything special regionally..
In reply to Raggs... well lets see what the future brings, definitely one to keep an eye on.
His views are so bias against Sunil Ambris that it makes me want to barf.

In reply to Ragga007
we will see him tomorrow
Just to put things into perspective, this is a player with a FC average of 29 (Same as Kyle, BTW) with 3 centuries. He had a good year, to be sure, but he has not proven his worth at FC level. He may yet do so. But the evidence is thin so far.
In reply to Cameron
He is better than Shai, so we have a great batting lineup.
KB, Lewis
Bravo
Shai, Chase ,Ambris , Blackwood
In reply to Cameron
The evidence is clear that, for some unbeknownst reason to me and many West Indies fans, he has not been given the opportunity to be on the field of play like the others who have done so and have failed numerous times.
You cannot use that same lame excuse as to why Sunil Ambris has not been given the opportunity, which has been given to the others, to prove his selection was not only worthy to be selected but also be part of the West Indies cricket team starting eleven.
The gig is up; give the lad his deserved opportunity to show us what he has to offer in the starting eleven.
We have seen Kyle enough to know he is not deserving of the chances given to him when you have a Sunil Ambris on the bench waiting for his opportunity to makea positive and productive contribution to West Indies cricket.
In reply to Ragga007
I too am looking forward to Sunil having the opportunity to contribute, but I would prefer see him batting in a position (between #4-6) where he has the best chance to succeed. I believe asking Sunil to open is setting him up for failure at this level especially if he's not use to opening. Playing any international sport is different than playing it regionally.
I would hope that if he is ask to open and he fails that you would acknowledge that he was possibly not put in the best position to succeed.
Clearly, their opportunities in WI cricket for openers at all levels.
In reply to Raggs
Have you seen more from Ravi Powell than you have Sunil Ambris?
In reply to Veracity
Fixed it for you
In West Indies Cricket ; the Players who are at the bottom of the Selection
Totem Pole are from the Windward Islands .
I have no doubt that if Sunil Ambris
was from Barbados ; T & T ; Guyana ;
or Guyana , he would already been selected .
I believe that some in this Forum
will be delighted when he gets his chance , that he fails , so that they can then pontificate on his failure .
In reply to imusic
Leave the man , we are not on school
In reply to Veracity
If u are not assuming that the 5th bowler would bowl 8 overs for no fun then u r 40 runs analysis is mathematically incorrect
Time to get off this Ambris train wreck
In reply to doosra
In reply to Raggs
i am just asking. I have not seen Ravi do anything proper yet.
He looks terribly suspect to spin
In reply to doosra
You both are looking through different lens

Why is it that we are always clamoring for the guy not in the playing 11?
Yet when he gets a run shyte all over the pitch..Then we try and exorcise him out of the team?
The guy did squat in FC games/tournament yet we acting he is the real deal..
In reply to buds
average 51 in list A cricket is doing nothing, right? Tell me how the others got in the team then with less, what are they doing?
By the way, am only for Sunil in ODIs. He has to dominate the 4 day like guys like Chase, Shai Hope did before I call for him in the longer format.
In reply to jen
I agree with your assessment . I also
do not want him playing 20/20 Cricket . My take is that Batsmen must be FULLY GROUNDED in the Basic Fundamental Rules of Batting before
they are selected to play in the shortest version of the Game .
In reply to jen
Please check Ambris stats again, that 51 A list average is solely base on the 71 average in 2016/17.
He has played limited cricket, his A team series against SL, he average 8:00 and he scored 1 run for the President X1 against England
Surely he deserves to be on tour, but as I look at players, I prefer consistency over 2-3 years.
I've stats today on Regional 2015/16 & 2016/17 tournament, check the stats and see the consistency of players runs and average.
BTW, here is the last A team tour, 50 overs stats.
WEST INDIES A IN SRI LANKA UNOFFICIAL ODI SERIES, 2016/17
In reply to openning
Good lucky with 2-3 years consistency at regional level
In reply to openning
Form must be considered in selection
We omitting a form player.
And playing out of form players
In reply to tc1
When Cricket Archives site was free, I used to go back at review averages from and before the Shell Sheild years, Players like Easton McMorris 42.18 First Class Average, Basil Butcher 49.90, Peter Lashley 41.44, Seymour Nurse 43.93, Joe Solomon 41.74, Larry Gomes 40.76, were all consistent, yet they were not the top players.
The player mention, played 175 or more first class matches, these guys did not play a number of years at the county level, but they supported the stars.
In reply to openning
Good point--
Did he average the 51 when our best players were away? 8 & 1 ?...He is breaking down the gates..
In reply to openning
The point that I making , very few batsman can match that criteria of 3 good seasons, maybe KB and Shai.
In reply to imusic
perhaps
Again, he was not selected.
Again, the West Indies failed.
In reply to Ragga007
he will play next game. get your excuses ready.
In reply to Raggs
what is your lens telling you about ravi p?
In reply to Ragga007
Again, the West Indies failed.
you placing so much pressure on this youngster, u better hope he doesn't get pick now and await Zim to get an easier team.
