Wasnt there a Pak captain as big as C-Wall? So, arent WIs a bit hard on the big man from Teegwa?

In reply to BeatDball

Big Corn is twice the size if Inzamam.

Keep it real.

In reply to Drapsey 2X?! Nah.

In reply to BeatDball

Allya was so fucking hard on people like Ryan Hinds and others calling them all sorts of names and now talking bout being hard on Cornwall, if that is not being hypocritical then tell me what is, fat is fat however you cut it.....

In reply to BeatDball

Here comes the Secretary of Bajan Defense again. Once a Man performing, I think size is irrelevant.

In reply to voiceofreason

Except for Fatburt.

Ok, I must admit that that is history.

In reply to Drapsey

Ok let us put this baby to rest:

Lambert is a batsman who averaged 28.1 batting in the top 6. How was he supposed to get selected with that average? Lambert benefited from havinga very experienced group of players around him: Hinds, Bernard, Baugh, Gayle etc. so that helped Jamaica's success in the FC arena.

In reply to Drapsey

When did Lambert perform? They shoulda pick him as a specialist captain?

In reply to voiceofreason

C'mon bro, Lambert had an astute cricketing brain.

In reply to cherri The big Cwall's output is maximum!

In reply to voiceofreason

Actually the Jamaican team usually performed better when Hinds, Gayle and a few other were NOT on the team. Tere were a few times when the JA team would be winning and when Hinds returned from tour he would replace Lambert as captain and the team would promptly start losing.

When WI decided to have a specialist captain (Sammy) any way why not the most successful captain in the region was the question then...

Cornwall could benefit from a Bob Kersee maybe ?

" It was during his unexpected vacation that Fuhr hooked up with
Kersee, the husband and coach of Jackie Joyner-Kersee, who holds
the world record in the heptathlon. In addition to prescribing a
stretching and conditioning regimen, Kersee cast a critical eye
on Fuhr's diet. He outlawed fatty foods and instructed his
client to drastically reduce his between-meal snacks: the graham
crackers, the chips and dips, which Fuhr admits he was in the
habit of consuming, usually in front of the boob tube, with
Conehead-like gusto and efficiency.

It worked. Fuhr's face, once cherubic, is much narrower, his
features much sharper. But never mind Fuhr's face--Keenan has
empirical proof of Fuhr's newfound leanness. Like a commodities
broker brandishing a crop report, he holds up a sheet of paper.
It is the latest breakdown of each player's body-fat content.
"Grant has gone from 20 percent to 12.1," says Keenan.

Remember

In reply to Pacy

Let us put this baby to rest too. When Sammy was appointed Captain vs Sri Lanka his bowling average was sub 28 ( 27.7. So to say that he was appointed as a specialist captain is a bit misleading.

In reply to Larr Pullo

Lambert captained the team to 3 straight wins, Hinds came back and lost 3 straight.

In reply to LBW375

By the time Hinds took over they were already over the hill.

In reply to voiceofreason

Cornwall FC average: (bat) 24.07 (bowl) 24.29

Lambert FC average: (bat) 28.12 (bowl) 25.68

If Cornwall can be given a chance on those FC stats, Lambert should've been too....

In reply to BeatDball

No. You many be asking about inzamam ul haq but he was not half the size of Hippo Cornwall.

In reply to mikesiva

Your argument would hold better had it not been for their batting positions. Cornwall bats at 7 while Lambert batted at 5 therefore Cornwall is a bowling allrounder while Lambert is a batting allrounder.

In reply to mikesiva

Post how many FC wickets Lambert has vs Cornwall.

Clearly Cornwall is a bowler who bats while Lambert vice versa. Add to that he is a prolific strike bowler
seventeen 5 wkt hauls, and thirteen 4 wkt hauls.

In reply to voiceofreason

We can hide behind the numbers but fact remains that he was never a frontline bowler or batsman with no captaincy pedigree to speak about when appointed as captain. He had one good outing which skewed his numbers at the time of appointment. He ended with an average of 35 with the ball and 23 with the bat.

Lambert, while similar with numbers at FC level, had a Strong captaincy record.

In reply to LBW375

It does matter

In reply to voiceofreason

Cornwall as a player has produced results with the bat and ball. So I supported him to be included in the WI side.

Lambert as a captain produced results. So when there was a captaincy crisis and there was a need for a captain to lead the WI Side I supported him over Darren Sammy / Reifer who were the choices then.

Both the situations people who were hell bent to deny them an opportunity due to their physical appearance. Cornwall might have his biggest test when he meets better teams still he deserved a look in just as Lambert was then.

Why folks comparing the Wall with all these shythounds before? They all didn't start their careers that size and had the figures of RC. No comparison.

Ravi is a small island shythound?
