brians_da_best 2019-10-16 12:33:53 

All other selections are fine. But picking skunt ramdin is pure skuntery

 
Barry 2019-10-16 12:38:19 

It is also skuntery to slander Ramdin in that way.... confused

Captain needs a right hand man, one he trusts to say "watch de knife coming"!

plus Rammo deserves lil send off money, he might even find a second wind like Simmo!

Trini friend pick. But on a positive note, he is still the best keeper in the Caribbean.

Best keeper in the Caribbean

Young enough to make the next t20 world cup

A useful power hitter

Every captain needs a lieutenant

No young un putting there hands up

Dowrich have to watch out, if he keeps on getting injured Ramdin might make it back in the Test team.

Who is the best keeper? not Ramdin. Did you see the straight forward drop of Johnson Charles in the Trini B'dos match first over, Standing way back to Javon Searles bowling at 65-70 mph.

It happens to the best. That was shocking.. you don't expect that from Ramdin, he's usually pretty sure behind the stumps.

For me he is still one of the best if not the best with the gloves.

carl0002 2019-10-16 15:48:43 

Why is is it shocking. Pollard is captain of a WI team and A Trini is the coach. In his first stint as coach Simmonds had promised all the Trini players a place in the team and got upset when he could not fulfill promises he made. That helped in his first departure. So now we see all kinds of promises being kept on the second stint. Good luck WI cricket.

Exactly!

Which is why Bravo got dropped from all 3 formats, Hetmeyer retained his place in all 3 formats, and not a single Trini named to the test team.

Those trinis I tell you..........

Well, I have news for you. Simmo was unofficially appointed coach as soon as Skerrit became president. Unless you believe that sham of a hiring process that just went down. Simmo announced before the WC that he was not renewing his contract after the World cup. Who gives up a coaching gig without having another job in hand. So There...

Here's a little espn article of international wicketkeepers that dropped 10% plus of their chances 2010-2015

Note

Denesh Ramdin not on the list

cool

Guy drops 1 catch in 50 his last 50 games

Don't see that passion for Hope when he misses one chance every other game or Dowrich when he misses every test innings
lol

Listen, the only thing that can justify firing Pybos and hiring Reifer 2 weeks before the worldcup make sense, is that
Skerrit could not afford for WI team to do good under Pybos at the WC and he had to find a scapegoat coach that guaranteed they did horrible at said worldcup. And in the wings was waiting Simmo to save the day, behind a scam of a hiring process.

Music man, I never said u all were stupid. But in these things there is a always give and take. Swap out a Trini here and there to not make it look too obvious. Bravo will be back quicker than you think, then what will u say. Not sure of the point you are making re Hetmeyer.

Wicketkeeper banned on the principle of cheating:

RIDLEY JACOBS, the West Indies wicketkeeper, has been suspended for "cheating and sharp practice" during the international triangular one-day series in Zimbabwe on Wednesday while India were batting, it was revealed yesterday.

Jacobs never appealed so am not sure why he was banned. De umpire had to be a joker to give out a batsman stumped when the keeper did not appeal. And de Board just accepted de verdict

Here is some data on the miss rates, including stumpings, of various wicketkeepers of the 21st century. Not all are listed, but those with particularly low or high drop rates are given.


Does the above statement suggest dat Ramdin was not evaluated or dat his rate was not particularly low or high but somewhere between 13 and 19%

It was based on keepers that played most matches for their respected teams, the ones that didn't drop 10% of chances were not included in the list


The article shows stats of windies
Drop misses
2003-2009 at 30%
2009-2015 at 25%

Do the math, West Indies had one of the highest drop % in test during 2003-2015.

Darren Bravo was probably most guilty in that list

Where in the article is the bolded part expressed? And if Ramdin did not play the most matches as a keeper in the period under review, who did?

Dowrich is the best wk-batsman in the WI, Ramy is Simmo pick.

Dowrich is a bajan turd, Simmons belly is in his brains
Dowrich is so bad he is listed as having dropped the most catches in 2017 though he has gloves
Link Text
The interesting part does not end here because his counterpart Steven Smith is too among the top dropper of catches, who has actually grabbed most catches in the year as a fielder. The only wicketkeeper in the top six of this list is West Indies’ Shane Dowrich.


Ah shame

Ramdin has had his best OD series the last time out hence his selection in that format. Started out well in the CPL but went missing as the tournament went on. Was the cause of TKR dropping out, pun intended. And not reaching the finals. So debatable for that format. Dowrich is our test keeper.
