run out himself. The ball was hit out into the deep and he got run out attempting the first run.

direct hit?

Yup. Until he corrects his running problem, good fielding teams will target him for an easy runout.

Someone , (was it larr?) , made the point teams will throw at his end everytime.

Well, you and Larr are correct. No one is questioning his batting and bowling.We all know he could hold his own in those departments - it is his running between the wickets. If he wants to make it to the highest level, his fielding and running will be a problem for the captain.Is he a good slip fielder?

BTW, I heard that Baptiste was so awful on the field, Viv told him to keep going to the boundary line, and he kept asking Viv how far? Viv told him to keep going. He finally got the message: get to hell off the field.

I don't know how true that was, but when I heard it, I was cracking up...sound like something Viv would do until he messes with Ryan Hinds and Carlisle Best.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Pik Cornwall in the Wondies.

Let them shut up of put up.

I sey he will fail.

Please prove me wrong.

Give him a chance to prove me wrong.

Let me see him fielding agile.
Let me see him taking slip catches.
Let me see him batting long.
Let me see him taking wickets.

If this happens Wondies will improve.
I have nothing to lose.

Either I right
Of Wondies improve.

How can i lose.

In reply to Larr Pullo

I can live with him getting run out after an Inzi type innings

Anyone know Gayle? If Gayle can play for West Indies ... Cornwall MUST CAN!

If he dosent run but scores centuries and half centuries down the order, I will take it any day.

 
Larr Pullo 2018-02-13 08:19:30 

In reply to Pacy

How is he going to score centuries and half centuries without running? Who will he be batting with?

 
natty_forever 2018-02-13 08:25:03 

In reply to Pacy... Gayle?

I think that sounds like the Gabriel story, unless Viv did it twice.

In reply to TheTrail

How many times has Cornwall been run out? Easy to blame his size, but is this fact?

 
davo 2018-02-13 10:36:02 

In reply to Logic

It was Richard Gabriel.

 
davo 2018-02-13 10:41:09 

Even if Cornwall is overweight his statistics so far make him a more valuable pick in the WI ODI than the likes of Jason Mohammed & Rovman Powell etc.

Opinions on this thread demonstrate,reflect the decline of critical thinking that plagues WI cricket on the field of play.

Wow! This big fella gwine bulldoze WIC-ed-B's door! Didnt know he could bat that well.
cool

In reply to davo... Ditto!

 
Pacy 2018-02-13 13:36:30 

In reply to Larr Pullo

Till date he has 4 centuries and 11 Half centuries in FC career... He would score more just like how he did them.

Notice what I said about Cornwall - I did not say anything else about him that is disparaging.

You guys could read whatever allyuh want into what I said...

BTW, I stand corrected on the Baptiste Viv fiasco.

It was, in fact, Richard Gabriel.

That sometimes happens when you are watching oldtimers play dominoes and drinking while talking about cricket of yesteryear, anything that they say can be construed...at times.

Because no critical thinking is required in this case .... just plain old logical reasoning

[quote][critical thinking that plagues WI cricket quote]......you ran with a piece....but...in a sense u r right. Most times Team WI just lack logical thought... Not ready for criticsl thinking required at the highest level.

In reply to Windies2017

direct hit?

No. The fielder at long off returned the ball right over the non-striker's stumps. Jimbo was short of the popping crease by an inch or so, and his bat was not grounded. Pure coincidence (he was not targeted), but Dowrich, who called for the run, was surprised.

Compensating for Jimbo's slow running is a fairly simple matter, especially if his obvious all-round value is considered.

This "fear the fat" hysteria is yet another form of western brainwashing that we so readily gobble up.
