Isn't Fabian Allen in the World Cup squad?

 
DIEHARD 2019-05-05 13:04:42 

What's the point in playing Chase, Ambris and Carter here today?

Shouldn't Allen be getting match practise

Good thinking. Dese forkers are not strategic.

The line up would be a batsman short, but, Allen I would think is really in need of some match time to build his confidence should he need to play.

This makes no sense to me.

I thought it was a given that we'd just play a team with Holder batting 6, so we could give all our World Cup guys some time in the middle

Your thinking is strategic. I concur. You want to give the players in the World Cup as much exposure as possible.

Maybe Chase will replace him, a better choice IMO! wink

That must be the thinking, I don't see the point in having the man in the squad, if you going to have him on the bench here.

Guess it's an early message to him really

I have just been reliably informed that Fabian Allen arrived in Ireland only yesterday. So the brains trust of West Indies cricket can be excused.

Fabian Allen arrived yesterday in Ireland. It's posted on this thread after some of us ran our mouths and with very good reason.

big grin

Cool. Thanks

 
DIEHARD 2019-05-07 09:57:08 

Still... No Fabian, but Dowrich, Carter, Chase and Ambris playing.

Smh. Madness

Chase making most of his chances! His strike rate is as good as Hope’s!

 
DIEHARD 2019-05-07 12:16:17 

In reply to StumpCam

That's not saying much.

Lol

We have a batting line-up of Chase, Carter and Dowrich...none of whom are in the World Cup squad.

 
DIEHARD 2019-05-07 13:00:13 

In reply to mikesiva

And what have Carter and Dowrich contributed so far in this game that Fabian Allen couldn't?

What's the thinking here?

Reifer is a skunt

In reply to DIEHARD … I guess he arriving in Ireland just yesterday don't count?

Wouldn't be the first time, we put someone on the park jetlagged evil

In reply to DIEHARD could be we learning our lesson?

 
DIEHARD 2019-05-07 13:24:09 

In reply to natty_forever

And he arrived in Ireland on Saturday, not Monday.

Now what?

 
natty_forever 2019-05-07 13:27:14 

In reply to DIEHARD … has a niggle.

Fabian said his fingers are too cold to grip a bat or a ball smile toes cold too so he cannot run ...

In reply to DIEHARD

Well said. Maybe they think that Fakebian does not deserve his place but they should still play him as he did not select himself. I mean if he cant cash in against the likes of Ireland and Bangladesh away from home then he salt.
