SUNIL AMBRIS

 
Ragga007 2017-09-19 12:57:21 

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

The team selected seem to be weaker on bowling, than batting

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

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.

Who was keeping Lara out compared to Ambris?

 
natty_forever 2017-09-19 13:42:59 

In reply to Kay... similar, a shythound of that era.

Ragga007 2017-09-19 14:01:36 

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?

 
openning 2017-09-19 14:10:55 

In reply to Ragga007

What has Nurse and Bishoo


Should it not be Powell or Moe, for Ambris?
300 runs with Ambris in the team, is gettable, with the squad selected.

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.

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...

 
Ragga007 2017-09-19 17:48:28 

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.

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?

Ragga007 say he better than Shai by a mile.

If Powell not going to be bowled, then he needs to sit for Ambris

In reply to Raggs... do elaborate.
Stats says Ambris is a 50/50 specialist at the mo.

 
Raggs 2017-09-20 10:09:03 

In reply to natty_forever

i just can't remember him doing anything special regionally..

 
natty_forever 2017-09-20 10:11:12 

In reply to Raggs... well lets see what the future brings, definitely one to keep an eye on.

 
Ragga007 2017-09-20 13:57:15 

His views are so bias against Sunil Ambris that it makes me want to barf.

In reply to Ragga007

we will see him tomorrow

 
Cameron 2017-09-21 15:24:44 

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.

 
tc1 2017-09-21 15:52:15 

In reply to Cameron

He is better than Shai, so we have a great batting lineup.
KB, Lewis
Bravo
Shai, Chase ,Ambris , Blackwood

 
Ragga007 2017-09-21 18:24:27 

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.

 
Veracity 2017-09-21 19:35:11 

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.

Clearly, there should be opportunities in WI cricket for WI cricketers at all levels.


Fixed it for you

 
POINT 2017-09-21 20:42:20 

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 .

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

He looks terribly suspect to spin

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..

 
jen 2017-09-22 19:51:50 

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.

 
POINT 2017-09-22 20:33:46 

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 .

 
openning 2017-09-22 20:50:26 

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.

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.

Good point--

Did he average the 51 when our best players were away? 8 & 1 ?...He is breaking down the gates..

The point that I making , very few batsman can match that criteria of 3 good seasons, maybe KB and Shai.
