What's the point of a 2-day tour match?
Anything less than 3 days is a total waste of time...

In reply to FanAttick... because they figure the 3rd day
is a total waste of time
Or another way to look at it ... when we lasted 5 days at test we had 4 day practice matches ...

It is a waste of time to schedule a two day match, if one team wins the toss and then bats for a day and a half, it will highlight how pointless the idea is.

Why is this waste Chandrika still making any team?

What about Powell?

Powell has done nothing to merit a call up. Why there is no Alzhari is a better question. He is in the Patriots team so not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Well he could not make any CPL team, so he is free to play just like a few others.

Why is Blackwood still making any kind of team?

As a still serviceable opener, they should have given Powell a run in this game. I guess they really intend to make him grovel to get his spot back, if at all.

What on earth is Mindley doing in that squad ?.... He's a medium pacer that doesn't do anything with the ball...not struck on Dawes either....runs galore for the Indians I think !

It appears that they do not want to disturb the CPL players...but what about Richards from TnT? Some posters appear to think he is promising

In reply to imusic... the merit of being promising.
First-class 16 29 1929 841 31 5/35 5/63 27.12 2.61 62.2 1 1 0
31 wickets at an average of 27.12 not that bad?

This is mind boggling. Unless they are a shoe-in for selection, which would also be mind boggling.

Those figures are ok but whenever I have seen him bowl he has looked innocuous and very unthreatening ....he doesn't look like a promising player to me....as I said earlier I'm not struck on Dawes either.....I understand that selection may be limited by the CPL but surely there are other young bowlers with a bit more promise than these two .....aren't there ?
