The backward thinking of Bim's selectors...young quick sitting and a dart thrower more suited for the shorter format is playing rolleyes

Yup, Carter is still there as he should be. Brooks captained when Kraigg was there last round too, no need to change in my opinion.

 
Norm 2019-01-04 09:20:02 

Roach bowling with 3 slips. At least Brooks is showing intent as a cappo.

Norm 2019-01-04 09:23:44 

Hemraj trying to play cautiously. Has he learnt something from his recent stint in India and Bdesh?

Miguel pitches short on Hemraj's leg stump and Hemraj promptly hooks him past square leg for 4! Then he drives a half volley past point, all along the ground, for 4 more!!!

Jags 23-0 in 6 overs. TC 8, CH 14.

Nurse to bowl. Field fairly defensive. Only a short leg and 1st slip close to the wicket.

Comms about that Nurse over: "The line was wrong, length was wrong!"

Oilah 2019-01-04 09:39:36 

Perfect example why our cricket is going nowhere. Less than 10 overs and Bim already got an ordinary 'spinner' bowling. Bim got pacers and this is the the regular process. These ordinary spinners will continue to take the most wickets in regional cricket but can't buy a wicket at international level. What makes it worse is that Bim sent in Guyana rolleyes

 
Norm 2019-01-04 09:42:18 

In reply to Ray123

Nurse's line and length terrible in his 2nd over. H's lucky that Hemraj isn't quite settled in yet.

In reply to Oilah

Same thought crossed my mind. Captain Brooks does not seem to have a bowling strategy here. He is "playing it by ear".

He could have easily tried Jason Holder if Miguel went for a few. In any case, Miguel was bowling a few good ones in between.

Holder comes on now. He's looking very stiff. Driven straight back by Hemraj for 4! Then thru mid on for 4 more!

 
seaegg99 2019-01-04 09:44:40 

In reply to Oilah

these selectors are doing their part in destroying B'dos cricket. Nurse is a one day cricketer yet is played ahead of a young quick. All medium to fast. The only one who could generate pace is sitting watching. Bunch of idiots really. You have Chase and Warrican what is the need for Nurse also. Fellas calling the game talking of the slowness of pitch yet none of those selected have any to begin with. Youngsters like Thomas, Holder and Harding needs to be pushed and on any wickets. Let the fellas learn the game in different conditions not just selective wickets.

 
Norm 2019-01-04 09:47:16 

Jags 34-0 in 11 overs. Hemraj 23(33). TC 10(33)

Jags 34-0 in 12 overs. Good middle-off line and length by Nurse in that over, to Tage.

Jags 40-0 in 17 overs. Maiden from Holder, but he is looking very rusty and far from his best. Makes you wonder why Cummins was taken off so quickly.

I am her thinking of going down to Bim for the test match but these selectors in Bim and CWI have such poor judgement I am rethinking my plans. When you can select Nurse and sit Holder and Harding it makes you pause. A nothing cricketer over a young pacer how do you rationalize that. West Indies cricket is dying for young pacers and you have two watching for?

 
Norm 2019-01-04 10:15:46 

In reply to seaegg99

True. Regional selectors need to keep an eye on the future. Sometimes you have to play the young players, even if they seem not entirely ready. Young Rishbah Pant came well with the bat yesterday for India, despite his relative inexperience at the senior level.

 
Norm 2019-01-04 10:22:16 

Cummins back. Spraying it all over now. Driven thru the covers by Hemraj for 4! Then edged thru the slips, but not carrying, for 4 more!

Jags 49-0 in 19 overs.

Jags 49-0 in 20 overs. Quick maiden by Nurse.

Cummins again, to Hemraj. Edges to Nurse at 2nd slip, who juggles it and puts it down!

Some are developed and some are not. We are doing a piss poor job of developing talent. I would fire all of Bim's selectors. Blocking development of young talent should be the focus of losing teams. Game day you sit and watch retreads with no path forward blocking progress. Young talent find something else to do and drift away. Cricket is not the only show in town these days.

 
Norm 2019-01-04 10:36:13 

Warrican to bowl, to Tage. Maiden.

Jags 64-0 in 24 overs.

 
seaegg99 2019-01-04 10:39:48 

In reply to Norm

My focus is on Nurse, who really have no path for the longer versions of the game, playing while Holder and Harding sit. You already have Chase and Warrican (test spinners) playing. West Indies test team is begging for fast bowlers yet we sit two of the more promising in the region to play three spinners. Nurse getting all 20 wickets does nothing to move the game of cricket forward in the WI.

Carty and Alzarri doing well for Leewards

Springer and Holder.. de other stand out players from that batch of U19 cant get a chance..

The way Carty batting he might make the senior team soon.. The way Barbados treating Springer and Holder their careers might end soon..

Is a good thing Archer went to England.. He woulda probably be an unknown if he remained in Bim ..

At Kensington Oval, I cannot disagree.

Some of the comms are saying the same thing too.

Warrican to Hemraj, who drives him thru the covers for 4 more!!! 52 to Hemraj.

Hemraj drives it thru the covers to 4 more!!!! Goes to 56.

Hemraj hits another Warrican delivery straight back over long on for SIX!!! Goes to 62.

Jag 79-0 in 28 overs. CH 62(86), TC 14(85)

Chase to bowl. Short on leg and driven to the long on boundary by Tage for 4!

Jags 83-0 in 29 overs.

 
Norm 2019-01-04 10:58:10

There you have it!

Jags 83-0 off 30 overs. Lunch!

 
Norm 2019-01-04 11:03:15 

Pride not looking very competitive here. Cummins is spraying it all over, Nurse is unsteady and Holder is very rusty. Roach and Warrican are ok, but not threatening.

On the other hand, Hemraj looks in ominous form, and he has learned to be a bit cautious as well.

This looks like a long haul for the Pride.

On a Kensington pitch on the first day of a match before lunch your spinners bowled as many overs as your quickies.
Thats what cricket in Barbados has come to.

The Cricket minded people in the Island, missed the plot with the performance of young players at the U19 WC.
We send our best young players to represent us, then the outstanding performers are left out of regional teams.
Youngsters like Pant and Shaw and others, return home and settle in the County, State and Shield clubs.
Regional cricket is at the same level as the same level as county cricket, that's why I believe, youngsters like Springer and Holder performance merit a starting position

Big problem across the region. It's good to have past cricketers involved in cricket administration, but then you have to deal with nepotism, as they give in to pressure from their clubs and friends, at the expense of territorial or regional cricket.

There is such a thing as batting too slowly. One...it eases the pressure on the bowlers. Two...an error will eventually occur...out with little runs for your team. A positive approach with no increase in risk will always yield better returns.

I am profoundly disappointed ,notwithstanding the fact that my countrymen had a good day in Barbados today. Normally an opening batsman from Guyana scoring a big ton at Kensington is a big deal since he would have negotiated successfully a searching examination from a few express fast bowlers on a pitch which has some pace and bounce.Instead from over # 10 our opener was facing Ashley Nurse's tepid off spinners.This innings tells us very little about the youngster's readiness for test cricket but a whole lot about the Bajan selectors.

imusic 2019-01-04 19:03:07 

People vexed that Barbados played 2 front line, experienced spinners in this match at the apparent expense of playing 2 young fast bowling prospects.

All selectors try to pick the team they deem best to get a positive result.

The selectors jobs on a franchise team in a regional competition is not to select players who have potential.

The PCL is supposed to be a professional franchise league. Each feanchisee’s goal is to win. “Development”, is secondary. That’s how it is in Pro sports unless you’re a team with no hope of winning and you play your youngsters with a view to the future.

Barbados Pride franchise is not in that position.

So forgive their selectors for picking a team that they will has the best chance of WINNING

And if in the process it means Ashley Nurse comes in to bowl at over #10, so be it.

Besides, what proof is there that Harding &/or Chemar Holder would have done any better than Nurse and Warrican? Suppose they played and served up half volleys, wayward with line and length and get catered all over the field? Not uncommon for inexperienced bowlers by the way. People would have felt better because they bowl fast?

People vex when the regional 4 day competition sucks. They say our players don’t play enough cricket and cricket is not their full time job. That has now been addressed.

People still vex, but for another reason. Just goes to show...you can’t please anyone.

Later this year you will be selecting your draft choices in the NBA and who should be traded.
I look at these franchises the same way, the top level for our youngsters is the U19 wc, performance at that level is about any local club cricket.
The top performers from the U19 WC, should be among the thirteen selected by the franchises.
Jimmy Anderson, Kohli and others made their country state or county teams, right after the wc.
We have players like Carter, Nurse Brooks who has been in the system for over 10 years, with the Pride not winning the trophy.

You’re not going to play a team with all youngsters. nbA doesn’t do it.

Springer came out of the WC as one of the top performers, he like Joseph and Hetty should be starters in the regional competition.

Hype, Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope are all young players that have been given their opportunity. You might include Dowrich and Warrican as well

This group is now the seniors, Springer's performance out of the wc, got him drafted into the Trident and Pride 50 overs team.
He was among the top performers for the Pride in the Regional 50 overs and the CWI B team in Canada tournament.
Barbados selectors, don't understand talent.
Springer get my pick as an allrounderto start for all Pride teams, after Jason Holder.

youngsters like Springer and holder have not performed to that level to be given a play, the last group of bim u19 that performed and merit a play at the national level were KB, chase, holder and Dowrich.

Our wi u19 players are not in the same class as the Indians players , who played at the national level even before going to the world cup.

Do you actually followed U19 WC?
Shamar Springer was the talk by the world, after his performance, he should not be sitting for any other allrounder, if JH is not around.
Dude playing local cricket right now in him, is not as competitive as it has been, young Holder got a 5 wicket haul a few years ago, in a regional competition.

Does the above make sense to you, do you know how many Aussie, Indians and SA youth have dominated the u19 world cup before.
Springer was draft as a franchise player what was his return.
Greaves has outperformed Springer as a allrounder, even Primus has done so. Springer is a good player but he needs to produce at a higher level.

Springer was the top Pride performer after this year 50 overs completion, winning player of the match a couple times, he was injured in 2017.
He and Greaves performed well for the CWI B team squad as openers, in the Canadian competition.
We've seen Primus at the regional level

Along with the ton he scored in the competition and his bowling, this article speaks for itself.
West Indies Under-19s ended up stunning over 10,000 fans at the Shere Bangla Stadium by chasing down 227, with three wickets in hand, in an anxious fashion against Bangladesh Under-19s in the semi-final of the Under-19 World Cup. West Indies were cruising at 147 for 3 and seemed to be buckle under pressure after captain Shimron Hetmyer fell for 60. They lost two more wickets for 34 runs but were salvaged by Shamar Springer's unbeaten 62 after his incisive spell of 10-0-36-2. West Indies will make their second appearance in an Under-19 World Cup final when they take on India Under-19s in Mirpur on Sunday.

Shamar Springer had plenty to dance about after an incisive spell with the ball and a match-winning unbeaten 62

It folks with this talk that will continue to kill WI cricket with the lack of foresight talk. Springer could make this team on his batting alone. Idiots just focus on him as an allrounder. Chase and KB bowl offspin. The extra pace of Harding or Holder is more needed than Nurse. Nurse is not needed in the longer versions of the game. How are these fellas going to develop sitting on the sidelines. Others will come and pass because they are given a chance to produce. Bim though would not allow them to be drafted by other teams I would bet. Good OLE boy network got Nurse in there. Selectors should be fired. If Archer didn't show you why WI stagnate then nothing would.

Springer has not put forward the numbers, as well as Chemar , every youngster that played an inning , we wish to place on the team.When you are on the squad you outplay your teammates to make the team in the nets.

who is the good olde boy network- Springer and Harding went to Cmere.

I would be one of the first to say play Springer if his numbers were outstanding. his numbers are avg.

Archer failed to make the wc12 team, the pick was between him or his team mate Jones, both bowled crap in the series against Bangladesh, the last game Jones came thru.
Bim u19 class of 10, KB, Dowrich, Holder, Warrican demonstrated and put forth numbers and advance to the national team . Chase who did not go to the WC, . performed and made it to the international team

 
Maispwi 2019-01-05 08:03:42 

The Board has to revive its A Team, B Team, U23 Team or whatever they want to call it if promising cricketers are to be prevented from falling thru the cracks.

Its a shame dat players like Moti, Hemraj, Greaves, to name a few, all around 24 - 25 have played 26 or less FC or List A matches. Den we cuss dem when dey get exposed at the higher level.

The franchises are paying lip service to the system and with exceptions that you can count one one hand and still have digits remaining, have failed us thus far.

They doh release promising talent but have dem riding the bench and pick marginal players to fullfil the two man quota who are then easily benched.

That is why the Board should pick a developmental team each year and have them play in the tournament.

If you or the selectors have not seen that Cummings and Nurse have reached their ceilings then they should not be selectors. You will continue to play under performing players and expect different results (WI). Young talented players will always have inconsistent performances and that is because they are learning a new level. Sitting on the bench with one or two games per year will not help their development.

Right now you have senior players that are inconsistent and will not get better. You also have youngsters who need the time on the field to marry their obvious talent with game experience. Who the hell care what schools they went to. Your job is to develop talent not just put so called name brand players on the pitch. Lucky a player like Fidel was seen by someone outside Bim and not let become average.

If you watched any of the few matches the past two years you would see that Holder and Harding looked way better than Cummings. Nurse is a one day player and should not take a youth play.

I agree with the and additional team to get more players and more games played. We play way too little competitive cricket for some of these fellas to get better. We are forcing the better players to learn at the international level instead of prior to getting to that level. My point is you have to be able to allow for talent to flourish not stagnate and be lost. Nurse and Cummings are not on an upward trend in production injured or otherwise. You have to be able to see that Harding, Holder and Springer are.

You keep that WI U-19 team intact and playing in the regional tournament might have been the best thing for West Indies cricket. They all need to get as much game time experience. Enough of the name brand cricket.

It's a hard call between youth and performance in cricket. Do we give the promising young players a chance to develop, at the expense of seasoned players who may be good enough for regional cricket, but with no future at a higher level?

If you don't give the promising young players a chance, you will slump after the good-enough players fade away. On the other hand, if you give the young players their breaks too easily, they take their breaks for granted and never develop. Or, they fail because they were simply not good enough.

It is disrespectful to the regional competition and players for some players to use these matches mainly to prepare for West Indies duties. This lowers the quality of the competition, robs young prospects of valuable opportunities and lowers interest in the game overall.

If West Indies players play in the regional competition, they should play solely for their regional team. I think the problems associated with this situation were clearly visible in the performance of the Pride team in this match.

Pride 106-1 in 29 overs. KB 41(85) SB 34(48 ).

Shepherd continues his long spell.

 
Norm 2019-01-06 09:39:25 

Brooks edges a flighted delivery from Permaul, just outside off that bounced a bit, to Leon Johnson at 2nd slip and he's caught, for 34 off 52 balls!

Pride 106-2 in 30.2 overs. KB 41(91)

Carter in.

Shepherd determined to get KB.

Pride 108-2 in 32 overs. KB 41(95) JC 2(3). Drinks.

 
Norm 2019-01-06 09:58:43 

Pride 110-2 in 34 overs. KB 43(102) JC 2(9).

Permaul continues.

Comms: Rakeen Cornwall, who currently has 4 wickets against Red Force, should be allowed to play for WI, despite his inability to make fitness standards.

Carter drives Permaul beautifully thru the covers for 4! Edges between keeper and 1st slip for 4 more!

Pride 118-2 in 35 overs. KB 43(102) JC 10(15).

 
Norm 2019-01-06 10:03:44 

KB gone lbw to Pestano, for 43 off 103 deliveries! Ball pitched on off and cut sharply to leg. KB walked before the ump slowly raised his finger.

118-3 in 35.1 overs.

Cornwall's performances so far...94 runs @ an average of 31.33, and just six wickets - the following spinners have taken more: Shillingford (17), Warrican (13), Imran (13), Permaul (12), Miller (11), Walsh (7).

Why should Cornwall be allowed to leapfrog others who have performed better than him in the PCL?

Talking about under-performers...Kraigg is way down the list of opening batsmen in this PCL so far.

"taken"? You mean "pelt out", right?

Warrican (13), Imran (13), Permaul (12), Miller (11), Walsh (7).

These were "taken". Your point is taken tho. Rakeem still has a long way to go to match these guys as a bowler, thus far in this tournament. Plus, Rakeem is a huge problem in the field.

 
Norm 2019-01-06 10:11:04 

Carter looks like he will be dismissed at any moment. Chase looks calm enough.

Pestano working up some pace here. Smooth run up and bowling action.

Pride 122-3 in 38 overs. JC 10(21) RC 0(11)

Permaul continues, to Carter, with forward and backward short legs. Permaul pitching it on Carter's pads.

 
Norm 2019-01-06 10:21:13 

Pride 122-3 in 39 overs. JC 10(27) RC 0(11)

Pestano to Chase. Raps him painfully on the glove with one that cuts back and bounces from off to leg. Chase shakes his hand vigorously.

Pride 123-3 in 40 overs. JC 10(29) RC 1(15)

Permaul to Chase. Flighted outside off. Chase tries to cut and edges to the lone slip, Johnson, and he's caught!!!! He did not look like he wanted to stay in there after being hit on the glove by Pestano.

Pride 123-4 in 40.5 overs. JC 10(29). Dowrich in, needing to rescue his team yet again!

Pestano to Carter. Drives nicely thru extra cover for 4! Carter drives far away from his body, thru the covers now, for 4 more! Dangerous shot.

Pride 131-4 in 42 overs. JC 18(35) SD 0(1)

Permaul to Dowrich. Lifts it over mid on for 4. Strange aggression from Dowrich, this early in his innings. Flighted ball to Carter driven, again away from his body, to point for 4 more!

Pride 140-4 in 43 overs. JC 22(37) SD 5(5)

 
Norm 2019-01-06 10:36:37 

Barnwell replaces Pestano. Bowling a full length. Short one outside off sits up and is cut hard past point by Dowrich for 4!

An old Guyanese bloke told me that in the late 50s or could have been 60s that Guyana was playing Bim,needless to say the Bim commentators were sure that Bim would cut the Guyana bowlers to bits.Anyway a young Lance Gibbs start cutting through the Bim Batsmen and a Bim commentator was heard saying,"oh skunt Weeks clean bowled",Gibbs was the bowler.I don't know if it is a true story.The bloke's name was Clarke and he said he knew Lloyd as a lil boy.

Hahahahaha! I don't know if that was true, but that fits the profile of some Bajans - assuming "superiority" over other West Indians!

 
Norm 2019-01-06 10:41:09 

Rutherford to bowl. His bowling looks rusty. He hasn't bowled in a while, because of an injury.

Pride 145-4 in 45 overs. JC 22(43) SD 9(11)

Barnwell to Dowrich. Pulls a short ball from outside off to mid wicket and is nearly caught by Reifer. Goes for 4!

Carter settling in, Dowrich seems determined to be caught somewhere on the leg side.

Pride 150-4 in 45 overs. JC 22(46) SD 14(14)

 
Norm 2019-01-06 10:48:45 

Rutherford again. Bowling way too short, and just at medium. Pulled away to square leg for 4 by Dowrich! A couple of quicker bouncers played confidently.

Pride 154-4 in 47 overs. JC 22(47) SD 18(18 )

 
Norm 2019-01-06 10:53:27 

Barnwell again to Dowrich. Short outside off and bouncing. Dowrich slap thru the covers for 4 more!

Pride 164-4 in 48 overs. JC 27(49) SD 23(24)

In reply to anthonyp

Did Barnwell kick the stumps and knock off the bails after Dowrich Square cut him for four?

Nah! He turned around quickly in disgust and hurried back to his bowling mark. Johnson was having a word with the square leg ump at one point tho. Maybe Barnwell did something he wasn't supposed to, but I did not see it.

It's playing the same way it did on Day 1, but Shepherd and Pestano are bowling with a lot more intent than the Pride pacers, except Roach.

Jags came here to win this match. Half the Pride team seems to have showed up only because they were told to.

 
Norm 2019-01-06 11:47:16 

Play resumes after lunch. Shepherd to bowl.

Pride 169-4 in 50 overs. JC 28(50) SD 27(34).

Permaul from the other end.

 
Norm 2019-01-06 12:04:08 

Permaul to Dowrich. Hit straight back over long off for SIX!!! Dowrich goes to 41, and is showing positive intent.

Pride 189-4 in 56 overs. SD 43(59) JC 32(62). Jags were 179-3 in 56 overs.

50 to Dowrich. He continues to bat well for his teams, especially in crises.

Rutherford bounces to Dowrich, who pulls to Permaul at mid on and he's caught on the second attempt!!!

Norm 2019-01-06 13:31:09 

Good knock by Dowrich. He continues to show his immense value as a batsman to his teams. His keeping keeps improving too, as his lightning fast stumping of Rutherford showed, in the Jaguars' innings.

Holder edges well away from Barnwell at 2nd slip and it runs down to 3rd man for 4!
