BIM PREPARE A GREEN TOP FOR TT CLASH

 
Emir 2025-03-11 18:26:10 

Bim hoping that Holder and Roach will demolish the TT boys. This is crucial match in the business end of the tournament. TT/Barbados cricket history goes back 130 years since these two nations have been competing and Bim was unstoppable when in the late 70's to the 80's when they could have beaten any team in the world back then.

Hope also makes a return from the cheap lick it he has been playing, if he can get going and if Roach and Holder also comes into form, it could spell trouble for the Red Force.

I am really looking forward to this one.

"GREEN SCENE FOR RED FORCE"

If Red Force batsmen cannot effectively negotiate Holder and Roach at this stage of their careers, they don’t merit international selection.

Nope. 2mph is still 2mph whether delivered from 6ft or 8 ft. I say 8ft because holder don’t jump and his arm is only about two feet in length

I back TT batters to do well. Then Seales can be devastating in a green top, so I say bring it on.

In reply to tc1

It took T&T 50 years to record a victory over Bim at the Mecca. T&T was led by Ian Bishop and included in-form Nanan (is he still alive?). T&T was known as a one innings team maybe the root of their success in post 20th century lick it.

Bim turned over T&T for 16 runs in the era of the 3 Ws . lol

That is your response to two T&T fans. When it comes to regional 4-day cricket, Bajan fans don't take blows from any regional fan, we have a history.
It may be best you stick to posting on T20 regional between Barbados and T&T if you want me to be mute.

analyst-kid 2025-03-12 03:03:25 

Jangoo Mohammed DaSilva vs Wickham Brathwaite Hope and Drakes

Pierre Cariah Seales and Philip vs Roach Holder Warrican and Chase

....looks even to me. the difference between the two in my mind at this level is CHASE, the best allrounder in the region.


Trinidad bowling is impressive ...they could pose trouble to Barbados....Kraigg Brathwaite however has a tremedous record against T & T but his runs might be behind him.

What threat Simmons or Forde could be on a pace friendly pitch? They might just be as dangerous as Seales and Phillips.

This matchup looks even ...it might come down to a player or players digging deep and stamping their authority.

What is injury status of Goolie? He has done pretty well before getting injured......
Braithwaite, Hope,Holder,Drakes,Chase must be selected for SriLankaA, Wickham,Roach,Warican.....vs...Mohammed, Seales, Phillips,Khery,Jangoo,Silva....

On paper, Bim favourite.... History favours Bim....

But matches are played on days......

If Goolie plays.... would love to see how he deals with pace on green pitches....to me built in Larry Gomes mould...

Let me be serious now,we have Pride in plenty trouble but their team have bowlers better than us in fast bowling side and also the spinning side of things.Their lower order can get as much as another 75 runs,even 100,I am assuming, we may have to bat sometime today and face about 30 overs,I wonder how that will go.This match can end in 2 days.

camos 2025-03-13 23:40:20 

TT has the best WI pacer, why would you gamble with a green wicket, you have Warrican and Chase, that was malpractice!

 
analyst-kid 2025-03-14 00:13:56 

It was the Bajan spinners who were getting the bulk of the wickets all season. The best pacers were playing in other teams Johan Layne,Akeem Jordan, Chemar Holder, Ramon Sinmmons benched for McAllister...still at present T & T had superior pacers whilst Barbados going for old medium pacers and not instilling no confidence in their fastbowlers.

Johan Layne took a 5fer against this same Trinidad team on a less pacer friendly pitch.

And why prepare placid pitches all season and now a fast pace friendly pitch for Trinidad? Barbados got what they deserve just like Pakistan did earlier this year.....prepare a pitch and your opponent has better bowlers.

In reply to hawk

Part of the issue is not having a team jelling.
Bim team fundamentally changed for every game.

Time for Braffit to give up captaincy.

Even though there was a green top,
while did the pacers bowl 49 of the first 51 overs on day 1.

Who have taken the most wickets for Bim before?

Braffit clueless.

I understand using the pacres to begin,
But the Trinis put on a century opening stand will little trouble,
yet Braffit continues with pacers.

Coupled with two very crucial abysmal run-outs
Again a team not jelling ,as players have not played together for years

Overthrow 2025-03-14 13:29:16 

Objective commies? What utter nonsense. In both Pride batting innings commies were crying for spin bowling after 20 overs. The batting was failing badly at the time. They appeared flomuxed that the team was batting so poorly, hoping for reprieve from the pace attack. On numerous occasions they questioned the captaincy of DaSilva for the continuous use of the quicks. There were three commies promoting the idea of Shai Hope to the Test team based on one regional red ball game in a number of years. Their reasoning was talent and his known history. Shai failed with the bat and was club level at best as a keeper. One commie called out the threesome, implying their lack of sincerity in supporting supposed talent over performance.

Where you got the above statement from, none of the commies made that statement, they all said that he should not walk back into the test team based on one game.
Butcher said that he is not cannot be the best red ball batsman in Bim since he has not played red ball cricket in 3 years, he needs to restart his red ball career.

Good thing is that it is on YouTube,
so anyone can replay it.

The commies all said that he should not walk back into the team.
One said that the team should be picked on talent and or performance.
He also stated that talent refers to youth who are promising.
Performance refers to seniors who are performing.

None of them called for Hope to be included.
As a matter of fact, they agreed that one game is not enough to automatically pick him.
