In reply to nick2020

Till test match start

Den ALL bajans will head to Kuntry...en masse

Its really really sad that y'all serious about this..


I'm glad for the runs , but this is their level.

They are required to perform above their level in a test match..u clowns.

Feel free to bump this post when they replicate this type of performance in any of the tests.

Where were u in the last FC match when they couldn't make 300?

You realise this is a mediocre..very mediocre attack? And this is not the main event?



Pathetic..

In reply to DIEHARD

you have no control over the opposing 11 or their composition, regardless you are expected to play good quality cricket, does this hold true? are the players getting good crease time and building confidence, so far yes, so far they have done what is expected, we shall await the test and see how they acquit themselves

I am pleased so far

In reply to hawk

My word..jus checked the actual stats of this bowling attack...only really one FC level bowler in the pack.

Only the skipper has played over 25 FC matches with an average under 35, 2 are 2nd XI players..a few have never taken a FC wicket lol lol lol lol

This is ...genuinely..the worst bowling attack they could find in England..that didnt include Boycotts grandmother lol lol

Charlie McDonnel...in 5 FC matches...has yet to take a wicket!!!

Milne who got Brathwaite out is 2nd best on this team..24 FC matches..45 wickets..at an average of 39..these guys are actually worse than dung heap lol

Fool's gold..a glorified net session..nothing to "shut people up"

In reply to DIEHARD

I have noticed the quality of the teams selected for warm up matches for a long time now, but as i said we can't control who they select, what is needed is not to let this go to one's head and play good cricket, i reserve judgement as to how beneficial these warm ups has been until after the test, that being said the guys are doing what is expected thus far

KC Brathwaite c Cork b J Taylor 11 (43

West Indies 60/1 (16 ov)

KOA Powell not out 41

In reply to Narper

You didn't read the script?? This match not important (according to some on the message board). So Kraigg waiting for the important matches to make runs.

In reply to MasterP

Tit for tat is the order of this message board

It's my time till your time...

In reply to Narper

No u joker lol

It means u must beat the bowling mercilessly as was done by all the batsmen in the first innings.

Anything else is unacceptable..it means u less than FC level.

If u fail here u have zero chance..and succeeding is no real measure of anything.

I should win a foot race against 3 year old girls..it doesnt mean i can no go to the world championships...i'm supposed to beat them !!!!

If i lose then it means i aint shite at running!!

In reply to DIEHARD

I think you are missing the forest and the trees.

Who is calling this team World Beaters?

But people are complaining about a bunch of Bajans on the team like if they are undeserving.

In reply to nick2020

What people are saying here is that runs scored off under-arm bowlers dont matter!

In reply to nick2020

u didn't read your homie Norman post blaming Bajans for the lack of muddies on the WI team

In reply to nick2020

got your answer?

In reply to nick2020

Oh bwoy! For someone who nitpicks on the world's best batsman,you sure celebrate insignificant achievements of your homies..

Well...they didn't replicate their feats in the main event..as I predicted.

I'm going to make the offer again to bump the thread when they do it... In the second test.. SMH

immigration open again

In reply to doosra

Come een.

In reply to nick2020

Long weekend coming up..

In reply to nick2020

Mmmmmmmmm...crow *licks fingers*...yummy



Now look here..this..is something to brag about..not that glorified net session.

This was the stuff of legend, Englands two highest wicket takers of all time, at WI least favourite English ground, in seamer friendly conditions for the most part.

THIS...was epic.

And i applaud the performers.

I will say again, my issue, is not with the numberof Bajans so much as the fact that there were too many non performers who coincidentally..are Bajans.

There are still two passengers in Kyle and Dowrich, when Lil B was left home.

I didnt mind the Kyle pick initially tbh, he earned his pick, I now see why Shai was persisited with, but it was getting difficult to defend.

I should think Jahmar Hamilton is due a call up to at least the sqaud some time soon.

In reply to DIEHARD

The West Indies cricket team has been failing for decades.
The West Indies cricket team has been full of non-performers for decades.

If the West Indies cricket team was full of Martians the too many non-peformers would be Martians.

But for balance what nationality are the performers?

In reply to nick2020

Ok..i see, i using cricket logic, you just want to defend nationality...


Awrite bossy, have a Good Day sir, i do not think i am one of the bajan haters of which you speak, so i will leave them to address you.

I care zero the nationality of the WI XI, i jus do not like to see players getting a free ride when they may not be the best option.


As i said Shai prior to this, was a mystery, Cummins still remains a mystery, Dowrich is now under pressure by Hamilton who was in form.

Kyle earned his pick, Powell is also under pressure, but i think he should be persisted with..only due to lack of opening options other than Kyle, but if i have to choose between the two, Powells experience gives him the edge.

Holder as skipper and player was a mystery, I now also see improved performances and character from him, but his captaincy..stinks.

The majority of the team i have no issue with in terms of selection

In reply to DIEHARD

That statement clearly says that the non-performers on the team are Bajans. If I am defending nationality then you are not using cricket logic and just want to attack nationality.

At the time you made the post the team consisted of 8 Bajans, 2 LWI and 1 Jamaican. Blackwood, the Jamaican, was the only non-bajan performer as Joseph and Powell failed.

In reply to nick2020

I have time, and feel tht i should set you straight on where I stand.

I understand how by responding to your insular post in the first place, you could mistake me for the same thing.

I was merely pointing out that your flag waving was misplaced, and premature, YOU were the one proudly waving the blue and yellow, and talking about bajan hate gone on vacation.


I was merely pointing out that what had happened was not enough, for you to act like you heard somebody shouting olly olly oxen free just yet.

And trying to point out to you that MY personal issue, was not with their nationality, now, you mentioned the non performers, Aljo..and Powell.

Please note ..Aljo is dropped every other game, and already paid the price by being omitted for the second test.

But if the majority of the team are Bajans..and the majority of the team doesnt perform..then, ergo..too many non performing Bajans.

Wot de problem?

In reply to nick2020... then if 7 of the 11 id bajan, what are the chances of a bajan performing? No need to defend the bajans, unless you is one and feel the need.

In reply to DIEHARD

good luck with Nic00/00

I gave up on his brain fart logics long time when it comes to simple debate

In reply to nick2020

Dude, is it a sin to call out a player (who happens to be Bajan) as a non-performer?

From your argument above, your primary criteria is "Bajan" or "Non-Bajan", while it should be "Performer" or "Non-Performer".

In reply to powen001

Thanks for the warning.

I kinda clued in and stopped..but I had a lil bit of extra time, for one last response

Now m done

In reply to nick2020

I thought no that performance in the second test warrants a call for Little England to go it alone.
Clearly they can make it at the Test level.

In reply to thefacts

man this is all I have been trying to do from the time i join this MB...regardless o flags...

well said... It does not mean.. ( in my case) that you hate a player - thats going way too far.

Merit is the benchmark based on performance overtime...not rocket science.

In reply to powen001

Dude, dat fcuking idiot was on a crusade against Bajans for months, he is anodda hypocrite!

In reply to WestDem

The win shut up nuff people

In reply to nick2020, WestDem

If Bajans have hijacked WI Cricket... Yes Sir, i oppose it tooth and nail.

Look at the squad: there are 9 Bajans on it out of 15. + 2 Dotties = K.Powell, A.Joseph

Remaining 4 = Blackwood, Gabriel, Bishoo and Hetmyer.

I can make a solid and long case, player by player, but i want to keep this short: hence : in summary, there is a differential treatment of players who are non-Bajans

Ask yourself, is Dowrich the best WK-bat in the region? He Averages 25 after 13 Tests with 0-100s. And the Bajans declared Ramdin as a BATTING SKUNT with an avg of 25, there was never any doubt or argument as to who is the better WK, which no one can deny that Ramdin is the best WK in the region, but he was said to be not good enough as a batsmen.... my simple question is ... so will you also declare Dowrich as a BATTING SKUNT and drop him?

How did Raymon Reifer get picked ahead of Cornwall, Miller, Imran, etc..?

Is Jason Holder captain on MERIT?

What has Miguel Cummins done to merit selection? His bowling avg is 45 after 6 tests.

It seems all the open spots on the squad have been given to the Bajans.

Also, how on earth Powell and Joseph got picked? There record is Pathetic. So thats another two spots given on non-merit basis.

and if that is not "Playing Favourites", then clearly people are BLIND

In reply to thefacts

cummins fc average probably merits selection... a consistant performer over a few seasons. He also has FC 3xperience in England. Test stats after a very small sample are very average but he is far from the worst pick.

In reply to thefacts

joseph fc stats are good and he is a youth...

you not making much sense to be honest

In reply to mittheimp

You are missing The point (Conveniently it seems) -> for every open spot on the team -> "Favouritism" is at play.

On the very criteria of "FC record, youth etc", there are others who never get extended runs or don't get picked at all.

OR as i gave an example: Dowrich vs Ramdin, on the same performance level, other players are dropped.

So whether its Dowrich, Jason, Cummins, Joseph, Powell or Reifer... there is clear favouritism at play.



It's okay dude. One needs Brains to process LOGIC. I don't blame ya.

In reply to thefacts

Ramdin had a far longer run... kind of a major point. You cannot compare 6 test stats with 60. Ramdins stats after a handfull of tests were not good... yet they stuck with him. Not seeing your brains or logic.. sorry.

In reply to mittheimp

Dude, those 6 tests were for Cummins. Wake up, Smell the Coffee.

FUNNY AS FCUK

HA HA HA

In reply to thefacts

Dowich is averaging the same as Ramdin after just 13 tests... Ramdin keeping improved a lot over his test career but batting didnt much... perfectly reasonable to pick a player with promise.

In reply to mittheimp

Dude, Ramdin batting improved after 4 years into his test career. His first 100 was in 2009. (His debut was in 2005, but he became no.1 in 2007).
Anyways, forget Ramdin for now, because you clearly know nothing about his career.

From what has been on show, Dowrich(s) keeping has been found wanting!

Any day, the best WK should be playing..

and you conveniently are not addressing the main point.. that how Dowrich is getting preferential treatment over others in the region?

Why not try someone else? Sunil Ambris? Pooran? Why the favouritism? Why allow Dowrich with a batting avg of 25 and mediocre keeping to be automatic choice. Even the backup keeper is a Bajan in Shai Hope.

Lets give 10 tests to Pooran or Ambris and then let the best youth WK play..

Why only Bajans are being given such extended time at international cricket and other regional players get a few tests at best.

Did Permaul, Cottrell, Miller, etc? any get such extended runs to prove themselves?

I am again (and last time) hopelessly repeating myself, because its OBVIOUS that you can't FACE THE FACTS, that all open spots on the Squad are going to "The Favored".

THATS A FACT. AND IT IS UNDISPUTED.

FUNNY AS FCUK.

HA HA HA

Bajan hate back.

Poor Tridents cappo.

In reply to nick2020

Bajan hate never left, it was and will always be

In reply to thefacts

Ambris is not a wk, Pooran is a ball stopper, both have a regional avg under a quarter.
