Barbados appointed Kraigg Brathwaite as captain for the current regional 4 day tournament

Barbados also selected WI test captain Roston Chase as a player in their squad

Why is Chase, as WI test captain, who needs as much captaincy experience as he can get, get relegated to a supporting player under Kraigg Brathwaite, who was dropped from the WI team?

What message does that send to Chase, WI head coach & chief selector Sammy, and the region as a whole?

There is no written rule that the captain of the international team must also captain their club or franchise. Barbados Pride is a franchise, isn't it? Suryakumar Yadav captains India's T20I team. In fact he just captained India to winning the T20 World Cup. Yet he plays under Hardik Pandya for the Mumbai Indians. Mitchell Marsh who captains Australia in T20I plays under Ashton Turner in the Big Bash etc etc etc. I say all that to say Chase being captain of the WI does not mean he has to captain Barbados Pride. We don't see Hope appointed captain of Guyana Amazon Warriors in the CPL just because he is the WI T20I captain.

Those guys advocate the most for Franchise Cricket and yet they don’t seem to understand it 🫠

@imusic

It tells Chase he can focus solely on his performance….which we can all see he did just that

Apart from you, it tells the rest of us nothing

@imusic

Remember the same happening in de day with Shiv and Sarwan. Chetty in Mudland wanted Shiv but WICB wanted Sarwan. But say what....both these Muddie players were world class batsmen who established themselves in their early 20s

Paint and Chase are both mediocre 30 + yrs old and going nowhere in international cricket.

Give a young bajan a chance

facts....sudden might contest though

@Narper

If you cannot perform as a captain and player at regional level then you will not be able to do the same at international level

maybe Chase , has no pride in him.

Sammy's bad decisions as Selector is undermining Sammy as the Coach.

@Trex

Sammy's bad decisions as Selector is undermining Sammy as the Coach.

Every once in a while he gets one right though, as evidenced by his selection of Yardie Ojay Shields. Just ask VOR (I chose not to mention his sidekick Edrich).

@Narper

"Give a young bajan a chance"

I remember a similar mantra when Courtney Browne's "old men" were dominating.

Maybe - just maybe - such sentiments have been the birth of the "30 sinting" era that we presently enjoy.

@Drapsey

Or Sammy got it wrong with Ojay and the yardies got it right by dropping him.

Tell us about those 40 plus Tits, I await your nonsensical response, go ahead and tell us ' Not Dinas".

@tc1

we wasn't talking about tits and the last tit batting close to chase and discount crabby averages more than both(darren bravo at 36 even though he has not played for nearly 6 years for the WI).....plus he averages 57.95 in Asia

The fact the the originator of this thread has to ask such questions (& so many has responded in kind), it tells a lot about his knowledge in cricketing history... like this neva happened in Triniland..... SMFH

@Jumpstart

You are as smart as a 2 penny nail that gets bang by a hammer .

You continue to post about the lil idiot who you claimed is the best since Lara and only has a 36 avg, if he had continue his avg would be less than a quarter.

He is the best and avg 36. Gabby is the worst and avg 32.00 .

Does that make sense ?

@tc1

average 36 in a period of unprecedented toxicity with the board and its best players. i know barbados is a tourism island so industrial relations is a foreign concept but generally people do not perform in an environment that is hostile. that brian lara did it means he's the exception not the rule. that chris gayle are sarwan did ditto. West indies cricket is not DR Congo where some foreign backed warlord has people digging for minerals....for nothing. Victorian england passed more than a century ago. people cannot work for nothing, especially not highly skilled professionals like cricketers. that chase and discount krabby perform the way they do in a time when the players are not fighting with the board......and they never fought with the board...shows you how mediocre they both are

@Jumpstart

Mind you hurt TC feelings.

@Jumpstart

@natty_forever

Does not Dinas rant makes sense to you?Here is Bravo the lil idiot avg 36 and the excuse is that he played when the Board was in turmoil, many would agree that the Board is always at Turmoil. Chase and kb played in the same condition.

@Jumpstart

Tell us about those 40 plus Tits, I await your nonsensical response, go ahead and tell us ' Not Dinas"

that was the question ?

@tc1

RTN replace de caymanians helmet as yet

@Jumpstart

What ?

@Jumpstart

@tc1

A nonsensical response deserves a nonsensical answer……he replace de helmet as yet?
