and brings on Cummings...

add to that, Bishoo was dropped, while "Chase" is still in the team chasing elusive runs....

In reply to jala… Chase is the spinner in the side.

In reply to natty_forever

In reply to jala… no I was making a joke.

In reply to jala

In reply to jala

Are you surprised....Paul is a not a bajan

In reply to Narper

In reply to Narper

In reply to jala… see, what a tell you. How he turning it?

In reply to culpepperboy

11.5
Miguel Cummins to Shakib, FOUR, even a better shot. Gee! What timing. What connection. Miguel Cummins changes the angle this time, Shakib gets just a little bit of width and he pounces onto it. Drives it crisply through cover
11.4
Miguel Cummins to Shakib, FOUR, terrific shot from Shakib. It wasn't even a fuller length ball, Shakib identifies the length early, gets himself in a terrific position and drives it powerfully through cover

In reply to jala

Chase into the attack

12.1
Roston Chase to Tamim, no run, fuller length delivery around off, goes on the back foot and blocks back

In reply to culpepperboy

Comes back on

13.2
Miguel Cummins to Tamim, no ball, 1 run, another no-ball

13.1
Miguel Cummins to Shakib, no ball, Miguel Cummins oversteps. It was on a fuller length and at the stumps, Shakib defends to square leg

In reply to Narper

Not bajan.. After this match is back on the bench for him.. Or out of the squad

In reply to Narper

YET Cummins is still bowling, though he's been more expensive than Kemo...

In reply to Narper

imagine...chase...

In reply to jala

de man know the cappo!

What a silly thread ...

In reply to Walco

Silly yes....

If Holder bowled him for 6 overs first up dem would bawl say Cappo killing the youngster

Jason Holder [1.0-0-5-0] is back into the attack
15.1
Holder to Shakib, FOUR, given the width, Shakib gladly laps it up. Back of a length wide of off, slapped through the covers

In reply to LBW375

And de man open de bowling!!

In reply to Walco & LBW375

I wonder if Jason gets blame for Paul duck too..... Jason told him to not face more than 1 over... so he out himself after facing 5 balls....... SMH!!!

In reply to RemainsUnknown… glad you know.

In reply to Walco

jala has returned here after a few years and so you will greet him?

Bring on Paint NOW

In reply to Narper

It's good to see jala back to be honest, but ...

In reply to Narper

Dowridge is de master spinner!!

2 in 2 balls
Kemo is a thinking, skillful bowler, a rarity in WI cricket

In reply to jala

Blooding proving itself

In reply to pariaman

Imagine these youngsters had to sit on the bench and watch d likes of Cummins fail over n over..

Thanks for the GCB for putting pressure on the crooks.. D other boards gotta do the same!

In reply to Walco

but what? Was Jala right or not?

In reply to googley

Wrong! Kemo just went off the field with the trainer!

eternal complainers!!!!

In reply to StumpCam

No need to worry.. I'm sure it's just cramps..

I know him for years now.. After a hard spell he always cramp up..

In reply to anthonyp

Needs to get his electrolytes before game time!

In reply to jala

Oh skurs what’s up banas where u been hiding?

we wont be enforcing the follow on. What utter nonesense is that!!! So if Windies comes up against a team that can actually bat, their bowlers are unable to bowl for an entire day??????? What is going to be our position then? Sorry, but this is another IDIOTIC decision by the captain to go with batting first in Barbados.

In reply to jala

In reply to VoopsandOut

That was a superb decision.
We will bat again score 300 tomorrow and then declare.
By then all the bowlers properly rested.

In reply to VoopsandOut

let me explain

usually a follow on would be enforced but you must take into account the circumstances

Gabriel in the pavilion being nursed
Paul got cramps
holder a twinge in his shoulder
Cummins is very iffy

and you want to enforce a follow on..... does that make sense
would it not be better to let your bowlers rest and bat Bangladesh out of the game under those circumstances???

In reply to hawk

Put F whe V is pon de igrunt fackah..

In reply to googley

Jala's initial point was that Holder was showing unfair preference for Cummins over Paul by taking Paul off after only 3 overs and bringing on Cummins. Mind you, Holder opened the bowling with Paul, and in the end the overs ended up being pretty evenly distributed among the bowlers. So you tell me if he was right.

In reply to che

LOL lol lpl. Ah you the best

In reply to jala

Okay...now you know...Paul is picked as a nightwatchman....like Bishoo....and nightwatchmen don't get bowling in this wi team

In reply to che

In reply to Walco

Man alyuh could spin to defend....all alyuh could apply for WH jobs under Sarah

Holder took the new ball away from Paul after 3 overs...that was jala's justified grouse ....Holder proceeded to bowl all the other fast bowlers in multiple spells ...including bowling Chase ....BEFORE bringing back Paul

In reply to Narper

I did not see Paul bowl today, but it struck me as odd that someone would complain about a rookie fast bowler who was going for more than 4 per over at the time being taken off after 3 overs.

I actually expected Holder or Cummins to open the bowling with Gabriel, not Paul. So I was pleasantly surprised to see that Paul opened. I tend not to fall into the trap of attributing bad motives to any player on a cricket field when I am not occupying space in his head.

By the way, Paul will be a fixture in my FL teams going forward ...

In reply to che


Put F whe V is pon de igrunt fackah..


What de bird.....yuh killing muh.....

In reply to Walco

You see Holder has been guilty in the recent years with respect to severely under bowling Bishoo....even the commentators point this out over and over....a recent series even Mike Holding was highly annoyed with Holder's treatment of Bishoo...

so it is not difficult to assume Holder is doing the same with Paul...another muddie...in favour of bajan bowlers

It is said to see the insularity of fans who support this team.
Allyuh should all go alone, because after 25 years of losing, people brains seem to be fried.
What giving a bowler a number of over have to do with anything, how many runs did SL scored?

In reply to anthonyp... and would still be if Roach was fit.

In reply to openning.. SL? The man the rattle you cage.

In reply to Narper

To be honest, Bishoo is among the worst International wrist spinners in the game, he is limited in variation.
Thats the way I see this wrist spinner.

In reply to openning

Is that your spin and justification????

If he is selected to play in the playing XI then the fcukin cappo has an obligation to bowl him...bottom line

Isn't Holder the worst international captain in the fuckin game...afterall WI is ranked #9....what is Holder's record as a cappo?

Isn't WI #3,#4 #5 and #6....the worst international batsmen in the fcukin game??????

Your argument stinks

In reply to Narper

So what would you say of Hooper, who did not want an Antiguan in his final X1 and refuse to bowl him?
Lara inserting a player, after the coin
You guys should sent your team decisions to Law and company, I've long stop blaming the captain.

In reply to openning

Insularity right????? Only bajans are not insular right?????
Alyuh willing to turn a blind eye to injustices...as long as the cappo is bajan and the team is packed with bajans...

Hold strain....things will change...and I will be here to point out alyuh hypocrisy...when alyyuh start to question non bajan team selections ....and non bajan cappo's tactics....in the future

In reply to Narper

Yuh all de years wunnuh boast bout we haven't produced a players since Haynes. Were we bitching? No. We waited our turn. So haul wunnuh..sk...t and wait

In reply to openning

You were here on this board right....Hopper was condemned for no bowling Jeremy....Lara was condemned for inserted crack finder Dillon

Why is it only bajans can't see Holder deliberately underbowl Bishoo

The international comms see it and comment on it

he is obviously trying to break Bishoo's confidence and spirit....I can't see any other reason

And this has NOTHING to do with whether Bishoo is international class or not....he DID NOT select himself...if he doesn't get to bowl he can't be assessed...if he can't be assessed then his place in the team is questioned...then he is dropped....good riddance... cappo happy...another spot open for another bajan

In reply to Narper
I was born in Barbados, get cussed by Bajans more so than anyone.
Bro, I will not come on this MB, and support a player, because he is bajan, man I live in Calgary, and don't have any close West Indian friends.

Narp, I will call a spade a spade, thats the way I've alway been

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Yeah...and a set of mediocre bajan players have replaced Haynes et al....by imposing a bajan head selector to fast track them...and retain them regardless of performance or challengers around...

and alyuh bajans happy and beating alyuh chests

In reply to Narper

Those mediocre Bajans have put performed all the others making them what? ....shoite hounds?

In reply to Narper

The last top batsman the region has produced are, Lara, Shiv, Sarwan and Gayle
We have not produced a great fast bowler since Walsh and Ambrose
Lance was the last great spinner
I like the attitude of Rutherford and Hetmyer , I am a total fan of Springer from Barbados, solely base on what I saw at the U19 World Cup, but I put Springs in the category of a number of people without a voice or is privileged

Otis..Brung..Jase...disya xeno Narper crotch plaster gots probs wid Bimmers..wunna haffi tell he KYS n repeat!!!

Knock up some centuries. Knock out Black from this board!

In reply to tc1

In reply to openning

Springer went to Combermere.

In reply to Narper

Yes, Bishoo has been under-bowled by Holder in the past, but not during these home series. And I don't get how you go from under-bowling to Holder being anti-Guyanese. The more likely reason for Bishoo's underuse is that his captain lacks confidence in him. Also, I don't think it is a fair criticism that Holder has under-bowled Bishoo recently. The pace-friendly wickets and low scores have pretty much rendered the spinners unnecessary except for the Trinidad test. Plus I don't see Bishoo sulking on the field or otherwise showing signs of not being one of the boys around his teammates.


It may not be difficult to assume but your assumption is pure speculation. Remember when Jaggernauth played one test for WI when Sarwan was captain. He bowled several overs in the first innings, but only got a few overs in the second innings, and never played for WI again. Was Sarwan anti-Trini because he underused Jaggernauth and then discarded him? Or did Sarwan lose confidence in Jags after he went for runs in the first few overs of the second innings?
