Is he a better all round cricketer than Carlos, Dre Russ and holder?

In reply to Banner
Better bowler than Dre Russ, Carlos not in that, Holder? no.

In reply to number09

I think Jofra is seen to be superior to Carlos in all disciplines.

Seems that Jofra will be far more trusted than Russell with the ball and maybe edges him on fielding. The way Andre's smashing his bat around of late I think batting edge is no contest.

Jofra over Holder in the field, batting in this format maybe a toss-up? Bowling edge to Holder, although Jofra has more weapons.

A HUGE loss to we cricket.

Indeed. I'm happy for the him and I hope he keeps up his good performances (not against us though)

I see him surpassing all of them with the ball. Dre Russ and J Ho will probably remain better batsmen

Question is..will he get a real opportunity for England

And if he does get an opportunity....can he survive the english dressing room environment

How did we all survive in the work place, after leaving the region?
Jofra is an athlete, many West Indians have pave the way for this youngster, in the English county
He also has Chris by his side, for support.

Whether or not he plays for any country side (like a boring underpaid Gov't job anyhow) is immaterial now.

There is brand name recognition for his very marketable commodity which will place him among the top pros in the world. Yes, in professional cricket, like work in the well compensated private sector.

Jofra wants to play for England, and will play T20 league, when not selected for England.
I am very happy for the young man.

In 50 overs & T20 cricket, i'll say Jofra is already a better bowler than the Carlos, Russell & Holder. As far as batting, not better than Russell, Holder.

Test Cricket will remain to be seen. Right now, Holder will be hard to surpass with bat or ball.

He is indeed a very gifted player. I am vey saddened that he is not representing us,but the sky seems to be the limit with his immence gifts.I will be rooting for him once he is not playing against us.

Seriously, Jofra is not better allrounder than Holder or Dre Russel. He is as good as Brathwaite. He is an unwise young man for not choosing WI over England.
