I never argued against his selection...as he made the runs in the regional tournament.

But I predicted he was going perform exactly as he performed in this test.

Regional dung heap cricket benefits from his presence...but it is patently obvious he is not test material...he is not the first and will not be the last.

Bacchus, Devon and Ganga. Failed as WI openers but dominated local FC.

 
goofballs 2018-06-08 15:43:14 

In reply to Narper
Agreed.
I was not in favor of his selection for obvious reasons, proven again and again.
Try an unproven, undeveloped youth vs a proven failure at top level.

BTW....he will get the 3 test run in this series. wink

OH NO! evil
Then he might edge a few for a thirty something and stay alive for next series.

 
Cornfused 2018-06-08 18:23:28 

He should consider this his last test series

 
VoopsandOut 2018-06-08 18:31:29 

Who is better than him right now? Powell did not have a golden run as opener. Maybe, time will tell, he is what we have been looking for at No. 3

because CWI is a dictatorship, he want to execute him for making money

Well if the squad was selected for the three Test , what happens if Smith continues to fail? Will the Selectors ask Hetmyer to open at least one Test?

In reply to Narper

Wow! This after two innings and one dismissal was a runout?

So predictable.

Wow

Smith out early


So predictable

In reply to LBW375

At least allow the series to play out? Lot of cricket to play.

 
DirtyDan 2018-06-08 23:41:53 

Until a better opener is found, Devon stays.

cool cool

Some here does drop people after the first innings...
lol lol lol

 
runout 2018-06-09 06:41:15 

In reply to Larr Pullo
And some don’t get picked at all so they can’t even have their one inning.

Allyuh crucial!!!!

BTW Devon is here to stay. Not age, not lack of performance, not any thing or anyone can deny him. He is the anointed one.

 
LBW375 2018-06-09 08:03:59 

In reply to voiceofreason

I think Smith should all 3 test matches vs SL.

I also think you need to ban yourself from posting to help him out.

 
voiceofreason 2018-06-09 08:44:31 

In reply to Larr Pullo

The Man out of Test Cricket for 3 years and after 2 Innings they ready to drop him. Also remember there was a break between the PCL and this series so he needs some time to get going. The truth is the naysayers always wanted him to fail...So never mind them DEVO. You have 4 more innings unless Courtney Browne and Crew think otherwise.

Boss. The Man was dropped for 3 years...WTF about anointed one. It is a known fact that Players from the Windwards/Leewards have to work extra harder to keep their position in the West Indian Team.

Don't you think the selectors should drop themselves?
