Holder for Taylor....

 
Larr Pullo 2014-09-09 14:03:20 

Taylor not pulling his weight. Short and wide, full and wide...steupppsssss

Da why they say fancy gallop don't win horse race!!!

People might think there's a conspiracy in place to replace Tayrol. Making reference to all them dropped catches with Tayrol being most affected.

How many Gayle drop off him?

Why would that change the context of my post?

 
Admin 2014-09-09 14:15:20 

At my age, I feel like I could stand up and play shots against Gabriel. Some of the strangest people play Test cricket these days.

Since that first test in JA against NZ Taylor bowling has not been that good

Can't teach pace boss. You still think you could play shots? smile

That's odd, since he got 4 wickets at 16.25 in Jamaica in the 1st test (a WI loss), and then 6 at 17.83 in TnT against NZ in the 2nd test (a WI win). So I guess you mean not since the 2nd test in TnT?

This would be his 2nd test since that match.

Exactly...only a fool would drop Taylor, especially for someone with less pace, like Holder.

I wouldn't change a winning team...much.

We don't need seven batsmen against Bangladesh...drop Kirk, bring in Holder.

Our foolish selectors play seven batsmen against Bangladesh, but only six against NZ....

So were they wrong both ties?

BTW a bowler could bowl real crap and take a bundle of wickets, or bowl really well, and don't get any.

Taylor leaves a lot to be desired as one of the senior bowlers. If Ravi was still playing Tests he wouldn't even get near the team.

Gabriel vs Ryan would make Brett Lee vs Piers Morgan look like an even contest.

Ryan would probably pull a Bedi and refuse to face Gabriel anymore cool

My only disappointment with Pollo's thread title is that Holder was used instead of Beaton, but I guess Holder was just a placeholder.

In reply to Larr Pullo

113.3


Taylor to Mushfiqur Rahim, OUT, goes for the might heave through cow corner, but doesn't quite get this one right as he hits it away a bit more square on the leg side, with Darren Bravo, who took five catches in the previous innings, shows the rest of his team-mates how it is done by taking the catch safely in the end near deep midwicket

Mushfiqur Rahim c Bravo b Taylor 116 (327m 243b 15x4 1x6) SR: 47.73


De man get de BIG wicket....dat is how big temperament bowler do it!!! cool

Taylor would be best saved for SA and ODI and some T20.

Holder should get the call. He is fitter, younger and potentially way better.

JT need to play and build back stamina...he missed a lot of cricket...Holder should get a game at de expense of Kuk....Play de extra bowler

In reply to WestDem Ah had to do a quick edit sah! U know how peeps does think! But, from get go, i like d fella N he's a darn good batsmen to top it off.

 
Commie 2014-09-09 16:33:33 

In reply to WestDem

JT will break down again. Its inevitable. And putting him on slow tracks in hot sun will just accelerate that process.

He is a potential match winner in the shorter form of the game, and a good option to have for short bursts on hard wickets, but they have to measure that vs putting Holder out there to dine on some Bangladeshi bats to get a good start to his career before going over to India.

There is alot of cricket to come.

 
WestDem 2014-09-09 16:33:48

Ok...it now look good!!! I am also a believer...one ah de best action fuh a quick bowler!

In reply to Commie

If he gonna break down again as you claim, he better bruk down in dis series, cause five consecutive tests should be a cakewalk...What make you think he would less likely to breakdung in the shorter format?

He need to be at his fittest fuh dat India tour!

You've been saying the same thing ever since Tayrol returned to playing FC cricket. I guss you're pinning your hopes on the broken clock adage.

Are you sure you ment `Ravi` and not `Scammy`???

 
analyst-kid 2014-09-09 17:43:09 

but we talking Bang here ppls. I remember sitting down at a food court hearing Pedro Collins telling me how much wickets he was planning to take against Bang...and he did it! Fast bowlers should be parading here...I really think Holder would. Peters probably they think too old but I like Beaton.

 
Commie 2014-09-09 17:45:11 

In reply to Drapsey

Because he usually does. We in the same season. Remember that.

 
analyst-kid 2014-09-09 17:50:41 

In reply to WestDem


regarding the stats for 2014. Who did WI play in 2014?

Answer: NZ and Bang. They lost to NZ HOME. Only Benn and Roach look good with the bulk of the wickets and sub 30 ave.

Benn and Roach clearly need assistance in the wickettaking.

We must try others.

90mph 2014-09-09 18:21:02 

What is the vision of our bowling attack by the think tank of WI cricket for the next 5 years?
3 pacers, 1 spinner, 1 allrounder???

If so, we should build the attack around Jason Holder and Carlos Braithwaite...1 bowler & 1 allrounder spot filled!

Use from the pool of Roach, Taylor, Cottrell, Gabriel,etc as the out and out quicks for the next two fast bowling spots

&
Benn, Permaul, Shillingford, Hosein, Dewar, Bishoo, Narine for the other.

Of course we could look at the option of a spin bowling allrounder or playing two spinners depending on conditions

In reply to JahJah

WHAT DOES AVERAGES HAVE TO DO when you are losing as we did against NZ....Benn took more wickets and was a more vital bowler in the wickettaking column than Taylor throughout 2014.

We played NZ and Bang this year...we played NZ home and lost...wickets/averages are the two deciding factors and BENN the spinner outbowled Taylor the frontline fastbowler!

Larr Pullo 2014-09-09 20:14:58 

In reply to analyst-kid

Taylors numbers don't support him being a frontline fast bowler. With tougher competition to come, the WI has to start looking closely at their bowling attack. At least Gabriel didn't let them score off of him at all.

 
analyst-kid 2014-09-09 20:40:06 

In reply to Larr Pullo

which means WI went in this match with one frontline fastbowler and one frontline spinner.

WI needs to expose their other fastbowlers. Holder looms in front Taylor becuz Taylor has not shown he is a frontline bowler even against Bang.

 
Larr Pullo 2014-09-09 20:45:18 

In reply to analyst-kid

To me that's an easy call...it could serve to motivate Taylor, and it will help Holder to get ready for the tougher competition.

.Taylor just came back after a long layoff (and allegedly locking neck wid de police at de bar) - pound fuh pound he is still the go too guy instead of Gabriel and Rampaul.

Second test:

Roach
Taylor
Holder …he is more accurate than Gabriel …speed is not everything…
Rampaul

If Lloyd wants to introduce a mini four prong, I would suggest he spring fuh Rampaul to be in the mix above.

i agreed with you that he did his job today as the 3rd seamer, but he has not prove that he can elevate to no 1 or 2.

Taylor should still be the 2nd seamer.
