I believe he ate someone's white fowl in the selection board, because I do not understand why someone so talented has not been given the same opportunities as Pooran, Hope and Dowrich, especially when he is a better batsman and wicketskeeper than those three mediocre players.

FYI Players from the Windward Islands
always get the Feces end of the Stick .
The WICBC relishes making them Invisible .

If You are in any doubt of what I have stated , check out how Kenroy Peters was treated .

The Windward Islands Board never ever
suggest that their Players should be
selected . Shallow is a Vincentian ,
Ambris is also a Vincentian , but as
I have stated that is meaningless regarding the Selection Process .

Other Boards recommend their Players , however the Windward Islands Cricket Board refuses to do that . BTW the Windwards Cricket Board mandates that the Windward Islands Cricket Tournament has a duration of
2 Freaking days to determine the best
Team in the Windard Islands , and also select the Windward Islands Team
to compete in the Regional Tournament.

In essence to prepare to compete in
the Regional 4 days Tournament , the
Windward Islands Tournament consists
of having Players play 4 freaking Innings in 2 Freakings days , to select a Team to play in a 4 days Regional Tournament .

What the Hell is Shallow doing to correct this B.S ????
This is why I will always insist that
the current Members of the WICBC &
the Regional Cricket Boards must be
removed if the goal is to make All
Our Players fully competitive in the
International Cricket Arena .

The freaking fact is that the Windward
Islands Tournment used to have a duration of 4 days . ALL the Present
& Past Members of the Windward Islands
Cricket Board know this freaking Fact .

Obviously this 2 days B.S Tangibly
demonstrates that Cricket in the Windward Islands has regressed rather
than progressed . BTW This aint a
Figment of my imagination either .

I have not heard that the Members of the Windwards Cricket Boards have been prohibited from soliciting Funds
from Businesses in Grenada ; St. Vincent ; St. Lucia & Dominica to
ensure that the Windward Islands Tournament have a duration of 4 days.

How could you or anyone talk about Ambris wicketkeeping when he does not wicket-keep for the Windward Islands.
In the recent A-team series, Dorwich got hurt and they sent out an APB for Hamilton.

Get real, and come again about Ambris's talent.

Is an absolute waste of time

Some Years ago , as I stated , the Windward Islands Tournament had a duration of 4 days , Today in preparation to compete in the Regional
Cricket Tournament , the Tournament has a duration of 2 freaking days .

No One in the Windward Islands can dispute this Freaking fact . Not even
Shallow the Vice President of the WICBC can refute this .

As I have stated , Cricket in the
Windward Islands has seriously regressed rather than Progressed .
Quite frankly the Members of the
Windward Islands Cricket Board are
shallow thinkers , no pun intended .

Same thing I have been asking

This is the player who has the dubious record of stepping back on his wicket twice in consecutive test matches. this is what happens regularly in the two day tournament? Have the shytehounds Pooran, Hope, Dowrich ever been dismissed by stepping on their own wicket?

I too feel that, in some respects, Ambris has not been given his due.

That said , I really see no evidence that Ambris is better than Hope, Dowrich or Pooran. The best we can see if that he is no more mediocre than some who have been given multiple opportunities, despite failing

Not too long ago, I remember squealing from a certain quarter that Ambris should not be asked to bat at #3 in international cricket "lest he be set up to fail". If that was not a tacit admission that there are doubts that Ambris is up to the task, I don't know what!

I remember pointing out that the young man was either a batman, or he was not, and went further in pointing out a number of young West Indies debutants, who have been asked to bat at #3 in their first test, including the most recent example of Hetymyer.

His due? How much due he have?

In reply to Star

I generally deal in Facts , not Fiction
Shallow et al ,cannot write in this Forum that what I have stated is a figment of my Imagination .

For years now the Windward Islands
Cricket Board has been getting away with this B.S . I get the impression
that the Windward Islands Cricket Board
has absolutely no intention of fixing
this B.S .

The sad thing is that as far as I am
aware the Sports Media in the Region
have been silent about this freaking
Travesty .

I have not heard or read anyone in the Sports Media in Grenada ; St.Vincent ; St. Lucia or Dominica
being critical of this B.S .

In reply to POINT

The Windwards setup is it's own worse enemy.


A lot of bias and insularity in selection.

If islands could play individually that would be better for WI cricket

My take

In reply to Barry

The same amount allotted to Dorwich and others.

In reply to grugru

Yes, that same player.

What do those unfortunate incidents have to do with the issue at hand??

In reply to Ragga007

I feel your pain.

In reply to InHindsight

Your comment does not take into consideration the enormity of the money
it would take a lot of money to do what you have suggested .

In essence what You have suggested is not feasible from a monetary perspective . This is why I have suggested that the Cricket Boards in each of the Windward Islands solicit
funds from Buisnesses in each of the 4 Islands to ensure that the Windward
Islands Tournament have a duration of 4 days to select a Windward Islands
Team to participate in the Regional
4 days Tournament .

The Windward Islands in my opinion
cannot produce credible evidence that
this is an impossible task . I stated
the fact that the Windward Islands
Tournament used to have a duration of
4 days .

The veryfact that it is now 2 days illustrates that Cricket in the Windward Islands has not only seriously regressed , those currently
in the Stewardship of Windward Islands Cricket just do not care or give a Damn.

To walk on to your wicket in your first test in both innings is something he seemingly has come away from. A talented batsman against medium-fast and anything slower it would seem.

In reply to Ragga007

You would swear that Ambris is the only player ever to have been dismissed in that fashion. Either that, or some posters only started following cricket from two years ago. Just imagine if he had been dismissed "handling the ball" a la Desmond Haynes.
