What is Floyd Reifer doing there? What can he teach even an FC player about anything.

No lie Bro.

The first time I ever saw Floyd Riefer bat I thought he was a genuine tailender the way he shaped up to play the ball.

I get it around these parts but when you post things like this you look pretty ignorant to sports.

Many of the successful coaches are coaching players who are far more talented than they were. Many.

It would be like me finding a video of Lara getting bowled and saying he couldn't bat. It is just stupid.

I just dont understand this way of thinking that because a guy was not a good international player he can not be a decent coach. A guy that had 13 regional first class centuries is not a scrub

That is Narine, the rock thrower.

now now now dont go there T&T wrote the original script on pelting. From West Indian cricket infancy spearheaded by notorious Sonny Ramadin to the modern era led by the equally notorious Sunil Narine. No one pelts better than the tits

err because he isn't. he was coach with the WI team in the world cup and we did awfully, despite having a very decent side

true. but most of those coaches deal with tactics. When youb have a team with as many technical chinks as the WI players, you need someone who knows a thing or two about the game. floyd was in charge of the A side and they got slaughtered. the only team he has had any success with is trhe CCC side in the super 50 and in those tournaments, the best players weren't available

I would not be surprised if Prettyboy, developed the coaching programs for CCC.
Check with your boy Tony, he is a fan of Floyd Reifer and his coaching.
Sammy had worked with him numerous times.

Does not matter who’s a fan of his. I’m not and most of the Caribbean judges him by that awful World Cup performance

Jajajaja. Indeed. Could not even make runs against Bangladesh in 2009

 
imusic 2023-12-05 16:21:11 

He gets an inside track because he’s Bajan.

And even for Bajans, the name Reifer resonates.

We all know it.

Thats just how it is in WI cricket.

Cricket playing prowess doesn't necessarily equal coaching prowess. Many of the greatest coaches in sports were not top dogs in their respective sports.

Man Utd will never find a better manager than Sir Alex Ferguson. Who talks about Sir Alex when it comes to world class footballers?

The great Shane Warne was mentored by Terry jenner, a no name in international Cricket.

I've listened to first class Cricketers in the region who have mentioned great things about Floyd. Don't use the man's terrible batting at the international level to immediately think he's rubbish.

Reifer always has a CWI job, someone is making sure he is taken care off!
