SHAI HOPE AND CHRIS GAYLE NAMED AS VICE CAPTAINS
I am sure someone here mentioned that Gayle should be the VC for the WC. CWI listening to us.
good for Gayle, he deserve this
In reply to natty_forever
Actually, it was suggested that Gayle be the captain
Jason Holders record, both as player and captain in ODIs, is mediocre
In fact, hes lucky to have a place in the first XI in ODI cricket.
Sammyesque.
Except, Sammy was a better captain.

I concur

lawd
back up please
so far all indications tell me hes the best odi all rounder we've had for awhile
higher batting average that dwayne, pollard and sammy
bowling the only thing dwayne has on him which is just 29 compared to his 33
he is better than all his previous odi predecessors
In reply to conman
Best based on what?
Please expand
In reply to imusic
numbers
i gave them to u
In reply to imusic
Lord, please help Jason to be a better captain. Lord please let him know that he can use his bowlers in short and even very short rotations. Remind him dear Lord that there is no rule limiting the number of bowlers he can use. Amen
For the record both Gayle and Sammy like Jason have lost more ODIs than they have won. Indeed no modern windies captain is over 50%

In reply to natty_forever
Hence my statement........Sammyesque
In reply to conman
You might want to review those numbers
In reply to imusic however, he is improving unlike ...
In reply to natty_forever
He did well in the recent test series against England
Remains to be seen if he has improved as a captain IMO
Remember, he was also captain against England in the T20 series
If hope have a good run in this series and the world cup I could see him taking over as captain of the ODI team.
In reply to imusic
How much better a captain was Sammy given the relative strengths of the teams dey had if Sammy's ODI win % is 37% compared with Holder's 30% and dere loss % are 59 and 61
In reply to Maispwi
What's the quality of the opposition?
I'd bet Sammy played more against major nations, none against Afghanistan, and less Vs Ireland, Scotland and the like
In reply to imusic
What?
U not in that much disbelieve that holder got better numbers that bravo and polly, right?
A quick check on cricinfo will confirm the stats
In reply to Headley
Which pray did you use for Gayle when he was captain, it is the same pray for VC .
In reply to conman
Stat does not matter, On sunday Shai every minister at the 'Church of What happening now ' read praises to Shai, tomorrow the same congregation will be nailing him to the cross along with Jason.

For you every issue is an insular comparison. It must be a heavy weight to bear everyday.
In reply to imusic
"In fact, hes lucky to have a place in the first XI in ODI cricket"
IMO he is more than able to command a place in the odi team. He's developed into a world class allrounder.
His overall batting and bowLing stats FYI...

It's not too bad and he's improving
In reply to 90mph
Who said anything about overall?
I said ODI
Hes improving in ODI?
In reply to Headley
I did not hear you pray when Gayle was at the helm, you 'born again christian'or a caribbean baptist
In reply to imusic
Pardners check the link
These are his overall odi batting and bowling stats.
You stated that he's lucky to have a place on the odi xi...I am of the view that he does merit a place
In reply to 90mph
Itito bias hard
I guarantee he got no interest in doing the research
In reply to conman
1 - I never brought up either Bravo or Pollard. You did that all in your own. Which says everything about you and YOUR projection of YOUR bias by ascribing it to me.
2 - Since YOU brought it up, in ODIs Holder has a 26.26 batting average and a 33.05 bowling average.with36 catches
In ODIs Bravo has a 25.36 batting average and a 29.52 bowling average with 73 catches
So in YOUR world, one in which only you inhabit, Holders 90 edge in batting average is enough to surpass a deficit of 3.53 in bowling average compared to Bravo and half of the catches Bravo has taken
Dont know if your slip can go any higher, but yuh neck and all expose
But BOTH Bravo and Pollard are moot points.
Bravo has retired from international cricket. Pollard was not in consideration for a place in the West Indies World Cup squad so bringing up their names in this discussion is just a red herring on your part and only serves to demonstrate your ignorance
I maintain. Holder has been a poor captain in ODIs. As an all rounder, hes been so so. And hes lucky to be in the first XI in my opinion.
In reply to imusic
Having stated the above , who would you pick in the team before Holder?
In reply to imusic
Bro, why you lying?
Holders Batting average is 25.82 higher than bravo, pollard and sammy
and i brought those 3 up because you claim that holder doesnt deserve a place in the XI, yet he has better numbers that the 3 most would say were our better all rounders in the past decade
bold statement without merit
In reply to tc1
I am praying silently today.
