Why the hell is skunt Ramdin in the team?
It is also skuntery to slander Ramdin in that way....
In reply to brians_da_best
Because yuh not selector anymore.
I was wondering when you were going to show up on the topic.
In reply to brians_da_best
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!
In reply to brians_da_best
Trini friend pick. But on a positive note, he is still the best keeper in the Caribbean.
In reply to Drapsey
u think it heasy watching from the sidelines something yuh fought for just fall down like that
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
In reply to brians_da_best
It is the 1 roti quota
Dowrich have to watch out, if he keeps on getting injured Ramdin might make it back in the Test team.
In reply to Ray123
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.
In reply to dclar301
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.
In reply to dclar301
That cost them the match! This was a shocking decision to return to Ramdin?
what measure is used to judge that ramdin is the best keeper in the west indies?

In reply to brians_da_best
ah...how i've missed you guys...glad to see things haven't changed
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.

all territories from this thing except Guyana under Butts

Bang on, we will dancing Harry part 2 and the pelter very soon.
In reply to tc1
Doewitch and fat belly nurse play-no problem with that?
In reply to conman
I too wanna know.
In reply to carl0002
so carl you would say that requesting pollard's and bravo's placement on the team was worse than having carlose and nurse?
In reply to carl0002
That would have made sense had Simmo been appointed coach before the team was selected. Come again.
In reply to carl0002
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..........
In reply to voiceofreason
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...
In reply to carl0002
You are wide awake.
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
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
In reply to Courtesy
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.
In reply to carl0002
IMHO, all the evidence points to a job in waiting. The process was undertaken only to legitimize the farce.

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.

Ramdin has dropped his fair share of catches. In fact, he's the only wicketkeeper I know who has been banned for claiming a dropped catch, a la, cheating
In reply to Barry
Dowrich is the best wk-batsman in the WI, Ramy is Simmo pick.

Wicketkeeper banned on the principle of cheating:

Brian has anybody suggested that your vendetta is boring just as most of your factual comments are wrong?
Give it a rest.
In reply to Hanover
Banned for claiming a dropped catch, a la, cheating.
Read again.
Jacobs was banned for claiming a stumping, a la, cheating.
Not quite the same
In reply to brians_da_best
Seems a whole lot a Don Quixotes deh bout!
In reply to Hanover
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
In reply to brians_da_best
As see Rammo bring you back to the message board.
In reply to doublecentury
How can something be factual and wrong? Trump has really taken over
In reply to brians_da_best
I certainly have no need to read again. In like manner, I am sure that you have no need to read again, in order for you to comprehend the issue: banned on the principle of cheating!
In reply to brians_da_best
It really hurt you to read that espn article
Almost every international keeper has missed more than 10% of their chances
In reply to Starzz
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%
In reply to brians_da_best
Read again.
Jacobs was banned for claiming a stumping, a la, cheating.
Not quite the same
In reply to carl0002
That is some seriously Trumpesqe spin!!!
Ramdin deserve his spot..he got wrong deal by the previous board in the first place so it's only fair to him to get this call up...hope he grabbed this opportunity because in my opinion he is our best gloveman..all the others are back stoppers
In reply to conman
Yuh facking eyes skunt,way yuh want ah tape measure.
yesterday is yesterday . . . ask yuh . . . .
In reply to Maispwi
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%
The article...
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.
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
In reply to Starzz
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?
In reply to imusic
002 another one of the Quixote clan.
In reply to tc1
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
Ah shame
ramdin has been playing international cricket for over 15 years and all of a sudden we expect him to come good
next please
In reply to navindesigns
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.
In reply to brians_da_best
Hopefully you can now get the haemorrhage you didn't get when he played for the Windies test team,there is some hope that yuh skunt will get it now.
In reply to navindesigns
Wah bout Bramble?
Ramo is given one last chance - runs or you will run to Couva! He's a batting keeper & as such - Runs! Get it haters?
