I saw McCaskie and Joshua Bishop making some runs in domestic cricket...but nuff of those specialist bats besides Carter Walcott and Ottley unproven. Boucher had a good score in one match in the CPL...my starting eleven

Boucher
Ottley
Carter
Kirton
Springer
Walcott
Primus
Mayers
Nurse
Bishop
Cummins/Holder

...with that weak top order I cant see u leaving out allrounders Primus, Springer Mayers Nurse and Bishop, a spin option who can bat a bit.

true...this is a new young team and maybe with great team spirit and performances they will excel.

There are Monday morning QBs, let the selectors pick their teams. 8 seniors players are not available, this is the time for a good youngster to step in and perform.

The team selected is quite young, with Nurse, Carter and Searles older
One can argue the composition of the team, but it is a young team.
Here is the Super Cup stats.

Boucher, Holder, kirton,, Mccaskie,Bishop, Walcott,Springer, Primus, all u25.
The are not an outstanding group , but never the less there are given a chance. Others will be on the CC team and the u25 or what ever it’s called.

Confused about Nicholas Kirton inclusion in the Bajan squad. He's currently playing for Canada in the World t20 qualifiers. Plus Canada is slated to play in the regional tourney. Which team will he play for?

In reply to navindesigns
a whole different format considering how poor regional cricket this might be a good team but
kjorn ottley?
miguel cummins?
javon searles?
why?
do you really need all of these samey its and pieces medium pace all rounders


they could have given harding the fastest bowler in barbados a chance and leave out one of these trundlers

Agreed. Too many bits and pieces cricketers. Missed opp for the development of talented players like Harding and Greaves. How could Kirton get in a Barbados squad before Greaves anyway.

In reply to Logic

Do you know the composite of all the squads?
I am sure that Greaves is in one of the many teams that make up the tournament

You talking about bit and pieces, and yet bringing Greaves into the conversation.
I dont know what roll or balance Springer, Primus or Mayers bring to the team, seem the same to me, Greaves would be the same.
Who are the young batsman in the Island, that should be selected?

CCC is in the tournament, a number of players not selected, played in last year tournament.

 
analyst-kid 2019-10-24 16:06:39 

Harding and Greaves from what I hear are all on that developmental team.

 
analyst-kid 2019-10-24 16:11:11 

In reply to openning

Quality top order List A batsmen are limited thats why so much bits and pieces players.

Selectors are banking that Springer Mayers Primus Searles and Nurse can give you 100-150 runs at the tail end of an innings.

AS for their samey samey bowling...dont medium pace swing bowlers wreak havoc in regional cricket? This has been the case since the 1960s....ewmember they also have Cummins and Holder who can bowl at 80-90mph and Primus who also can deliver at that pace sometimes.

Nicholas Kirton


Conceivably Kirton could play for either in this case - it wouldn't affect his international 'status' although it's a bit of an oddity.

 
seaegg99 2019-10-24 16:59:58 

Clearly some of you can't see that Greaves is one of the better batsmen in BIM. Because he is first listed as a bowler you fail to see that he is a better strokemaker than all the players on the team. He is one of he few who have time to play his shots and isn't afraid of balls above his waist.

Do the regional teams select their teams first because there is no way Harding and Greaves not be on BIM's first team going forward.

How come Shian Brathwaite is also one that should be given a chance to open the batting.

 
analyst-kid 2019-10-24 17:18:09 

In reply to seaegg99

Agreed.
With the others out,
The batting to me is
1. Carter
2. Greaves
3. Walcott

.....thats why I asked ( on facebook with this same topic) where is Greaves? Ottley Kirton and the allrounders must assert themselves this season.

CWI added EMERGING PLAYERS to the teams in the tournament, surely Greaves who played for the B team and did well, will be selected.
