Jofra Archer being set up?

 
Larr Pullo 2019-03-03 12:20:26 

Heads will roll after their WI sojourn ended in a tied 50 over series

So they're lining up Jofra for the WC. Wait until they all find out that international cricket is a different kettle of fish to all the *PLs. You know how England treat their immigrants...ask Chris Jordan... cool cool

REAL talk ask any non white player how quick the English media was to throw them under the bus as soon as they lose some form. If he thinks West Indies is ungrateful wait until hes shine wears off and there is a brand new (white) shiny thing for the ECB to fawn over.

His excuse to abandoned his rightful place to play his cricket on the international stage is PATHETIC.
Compare it with likes of Robin Smith, Alan Lamb,Geraint Jones and you will understand.

How about the gentleman presenting a case where the west indies could somehow gain Archer's services not wishing injuries on the youngster. I've said things about other players based on performance but never would i wish an injury on any. cool

What abandoned you dealing with we're talking about a young man in his early twenties who just wanted to play cricket. He was given an opportunity in England and he took advantage of it.

It amaze me that you're unable to understand the dynamics of the entire Caribbean.

Archer made his choice.

But ppl are disappointed in Archer's choice knowing that as a West Indian player he would at present be fully immersed in all the formats of WI int'l cricket. In the English set-up he would be used and discarded like all the others in the past of his ilk.

Look at Jordan. He started out as a new ball opening partner for Barbados with Miguel Cummins. He was ahead of Cummins at that time.

After Jordan left for England, Cummins was Barbados No.2 bowler after Roach.

Didn't he play for WI in tests and ODIs? Jordan when he last played For Barbados was the NO.2 bowler after Roach.

He would easily have been penned in every team before guys like Greaves,Stoute and the same Cummins....also the same goes for List A and CPL.

I REALLY WONDER WHAT THESE GUYS WERE THINKING IN EXPECTING SHELTER FROM THE COLONIAL MASTER?

Chris Jordan was ahead of Cummins.

When Jordan left him and Cummins were the leading fast bowlers in the WI regional tournament.

2012-2013 bowling stats

Barbados bowling stats 2012-2013


Cummins proceeded to be the leading fast bowler in the tournament for the next two seasons prompting a pick in WI tests and ODIs.

Jordan went on to be picked for England ODI squad.

Right now Jofra Archer is ahead of Chris Jordan in int'l cricket. Need I say more.

Kid, Thousand of us will be celebrating Barbados next year, a number of West Indian cricketers, left our shores to play county cricket, which gave opportunity to others.
Both Jordan and Archer, not in competition for a West Indies slot, which will give other youngsters less competition.
I cannot understand the reason for people like us, that is making a living away from our place of birth, can come out against any other human, that is doing the same.

There are two arguments going on here in this thread,

Myself and others arguing their made a poor choice as West Indians to opt to play for racist colonial England who would discard them easily.

Actually the two arguments dont meet. Good luck to Archer and Jordan for their career choices

 
TheTrail 2019-03-03 16:15:25 

CWI have done the same of what you all are accusing England of doing with WIndian players.

Lionel Baker was about to sign a county contract with Leicestershire and eventually play for England; the WI step in and fast track him into the West Indies teams. He failed in two formats. Instead of working with him, they dumped him to the fishing industry, forever. At that time he was only 24 years old.

When some of you guys are talking of what England will do to Archer, think of what these same West Indies selectors have done to a promising fast bowler, Lionel Baker.

Most of you here full of shite.

I remember this very blog posting re
Jordon contract pay with Hingland.

He had a contract worth 675 thousand pounds.
That's about 1 million US bucks.
That's about 6 years of Wondies A contracts.
Please forgive me if my maths is wrong.
Memory is not what is used to be.

Archer played Wondies Youth cricket.
Go injured an discarded.
His step-dad worked tireless with him.
His father give him a Hinglish passport.
He had family support.

He was given a chance in county cricket
for half of a season.
He impressed and was given long contracts.
Hingland picked him for a tour game
versus the touring Paks.
He took 5 wickets (2 and 3) in the game.

His county works with him tireless.
He consulted his family about his future
He chose to stay with the place
that showed him respect.

He will play county cricket till he choose
Injuries permitting of course.
He will be paid throughout his career.
He will be respected even if
Hingland drops him from national duty.
1 Hingland contract will out-pay
him for versus playing for Wondies.

What peeps here need to do is,
Wish the youth well and show the
same respect they gave to
Gayle, Bravo, Narine, Pollard
and all those who chose T20 leagues
over Wondies representation.

The real demon here is the WICBored
who failed to develop Archer's talent
Archer is not the only one they failed.
But how short is peep memory.

Archer, I wish you the best.
I wish you longevity
I wish you long earnings
I wish you prosperity
I wish you perform against all save Wondies
I wish you a long successful GREAT career.

Blessed.

Raheem Sterling brought up in Trench Town ent

Raheem Sterling was neither born nor brought up in Trench Town.

Sterling moved, with his family, from Jamaica to Britain when he was about 5 or 6 years old and, as a toddler at the time, he had no say in the matter. He was therefore "brought up" in England.

Just thought I would interject a factual correction; other than that I have no interest nor opinion in this subject, one way or the other.

The economies of scale are also different. Sure the English contract is bigger than in the west indies but isn't it far more expensive to live in London? Also I don't believe Caribbean players pay taxes, while we know how that works in England. the value of the contracts may be closer than we think.

The fact that you refer to yourself as “no one”....and not in a GOT context either....is telling. Your prerogative though

I suspect that among the many things Dwayne Bravo will be remembered for, he will be most remembered as being a premier all rounder in T20 cricket, a champion many times over in that format of the game, and a pioneer of the abbreviated form of the game.

But Bravo doesn’t need me or anyone else to advocate for him. His body of work speaks for itself.

In reply to Raggs

My position.

I don’t give Archer wrong at all. While there are no guarantees regarding selection, too many circumstances outside of a players control dictate who gets selected. It’s not even down to the selectors but often to the forces outside of even those who supposed to be responsible for the cricketing matters.

If Archer feels he has more opportunity somewhere else, by all means,...go for it and best of luck to him. If he happens to “poison” the West Indies team in the process.....so be it

Jason Bennett, Andrew Richardson, more recently Darren Bravo are all examples of the petty and vindictive mind set that exists in WI cricket. I don’t blame any player for seeking what they consider to be “greener pastures”

Ah hope di skunt bruk him foot beyond repair when he tek the field fah de three lions.

You then explained your extra-territorial tribal tirade by stating that sports are tribal not financial, and then when that lame justification for your hypocrisy is challenged you claim that closed minds cannot read the creativity between the lines. Okay, so sportsmen should stick to their tribes, but no one else smile And if your tribe rejects you then just suck it up and try to win them back. Meanwhile you (Raggs) are free to abandon your tribe and join another one, but condemn sportsmen who try to abandon the same tribe you abandoned and join the tribe you joined. Get off that high grade dat yuh smoking Raggs because it killing off yuh brain cells

By the way, there is nothing more tribal than feeding yourself and your family.

saw a documentary with Viv and you know what? that's why Viv was Viv. How he talked about the region and people and the apartheid issue, money offered to him, blank cheque for him to fill in his magic figure to sell out, those he reps, home and abroad, give me an Antiguan/Jamaican anyday

i have been to Antigua numerous times and Antiguans didnt like the JAs that invaded their country, played loud musics constantly and were a general nuisance and then cussed out PM Spencer.

in addition when it comes to selling out as you put it- i guess Rowe, Germs and Chang were not Jamaicans.

every tourist destination is a sellout. everyone who runs from their native land to foreign is a sell out and every time you consume goods not from your native land you are a sell out.

in short we are all sell outs in one way or the other. we just chose which sell outs to cuss.

is that a serious question? did holding/croft/richards/patterson/chanderpaul...etc..etc..work in England? who did they rep?
in fact Viv Richards and Andy Roberts worked, played their professional cricket in the UK before international call ups and Antigua was not an independent country still under Britain rule...who did they rep again?
