Hope T&T selectors finally try other bowlers

All season long the bowling unit has been failing apart from Khan and maybe Sinclair with decent support from Webster.
Richards and now Cotterell have been poor, Charles and Pierre have proven to be poor wicket takers.

I really hope the selectors look past that 5-for Charles got, when Guy were looking for quick runs. Took his first wicket in the innings after 139 overs when Guy were 390. That 5-for is worthless.

Try another spinner and give Phillip a game.

I watched the game against Jaguars Red force bowlers were clueless and bowled about 3 feet from the stumps.

Who is the bowling coach. If that was the plan fire he rass.

Red Force was never in the game , even with VOR spell .

twisted twisted twisted

Where is Kantasingh? He used to take a set of wickets for CCC..

Charles & Khan bowling too quick.. it's 4 day cricket not t20..

Are there any good ones actually Andy? Very penetrative. Also the batting with so many seasoned players in Kyle Hope, Jason Mohammed and Ramdin were way below par in the last match

I am tired of calling for him....he is b far the most dominant local bowler.
He took 4 ten wicket hauls this season, no other bowler took more that 1.

Kanta ofcourse but apart from him there are many spinners whether they are good or not I dont know but give them a chance.
Remember how Narine couldn't get a look in with Jaggs, Khan and Mohammed there?

What I do know is Pierre has disappointed, I expected him to be our next big spinner but he has fallen back.

And also that Charles has gotten a run now, last season and this and he has proven to be a poor wicket taker. He is a tight bowler who will keep runs down thats it. Might bowl u 22 overs and take 2 for 50 but thats not what u want here, u want wicket takers.

In terms of pacers, Bish rated Phillip and he was decent in the CPL. Why cant he get 1 game?

I will give the batting a pass based on them being on the field for 2 days due to the bowling and also because the batting stood up in the 3 previous matches.
That being said tho the selectors should make it clear that Nicolson, Rajah and Solozano are ready and waiting if there are anymore slip ups.

What happen to Akeil Hosein and Deron Davis?

Akeil cricket has fallen back imo and I think he in in some BPL team right now.
Last season Akeil failed and was dropped from the Leewards team.

Derone isnt really suited to this format, as only played 2 FC matches. A tight bowler good for limited overs cricket.

I’ve never rated Cotterell...I quite like the look of Anderson Phillip and yes he was one of the young pace bowlers that Bish rates.... admittedly I have only seen him in the T20 stuff but he may well be worth a go

Agree re Charles..doesn’t inspire confidence

Wunna need more Bajan players

Maybe Kantasingh is not interested in playing professional cricket? There are a lot more degrees of freedom with being a club cricketer. Someone also said he's an engineer or some other prestigious profession.

Hosein looks like a bits and pieces t20 player and his bowling is best suited for limited overs cricket.

Got one from Essequibo name Leyland Cadogan or something like that.. quicker than Raun and Smithy.. but wayward..

Pestano improving big time though.. had a decent tournament..

T&T selectors select bowlers who seem to be more fo LO type than the first class. Tight, Steady and unpenetrative
