Give Jack his jacket. Carlos is one of the hardest working players in West Indies cricket. He never gives less than 150%. I prefer a mediocre player who will be dedicated at all times, to the one match super stars. This type of player is also good for team unity and morale.

HARDEST WORKING? DUDE YOU SERIOUS? Carlos has not worked a day on his cricket since the wt20 final. That is why he has receeded the way he has. He's only motivated when openly challenged about his poor, poor, performances. Before the NZ game, bishop said he doesent come to the party consistently. Scores a hundred versus NZ as if it changes what has taken place before and promptly goes back to mediocrity. Loses captaincy to pollsrd. Almost single handedly beats TKR and goes back to mediocrity. One look at that boy's social media profiles and you will realize he aint serious. Focus too much on speaking well and looking diplomatic. Hadda focus on his cricket

As soon as them get a pick all them does abandon we to play up in India!

Only hard work them players know bout is how hard them could get back home to get a world cup pick lol

Maybe.....but at least we are not reliant on our cricketers for national self esteem. Which is why bajans(im assuming you are) does be so desperate to get their players on the WI team no matter how out of depth or ill prepared they are.......brathwaite, tino best, ryan hinds, patterson thompson(and his gut), roland"smooth and ugly" holder, floyd reifer etc

Sad but true

And we're good at it. Everybody remembers the Red Force teams of the 2009, 2011 and 2013 CLt20 tournaments. Only bajan squads they remember are from 30 years ago

Firstly, im not ramnarine....im not even 30 years old. I've actually been trying to get on here for years but there was problem registering for well over two years.

But, my mum is friends with the ttcb executive, hence why i know all the back stories. And the back stories in WI cricket are more well known than you think

Secondly, i have no interest in the 1970s type dictator the BCB is proud to call their president. He's still suffering from the loss of his patron, the big idiot

Ey like dat sting ya! I'm sorry

In the four day tournament. Certainly, where red force most if the time fielded a second string team....because the best players were in india or playing for the WI. Nobody knows the legendary Bajan four day PCL players......those who rep the WI average in the 20s or 30s. Look, paint averages less than hooper, hope averages less than Dwayne bravo......but anyways, we are in a new dispensation,where those boys dont have uncle dave to cover their mediocrity. And doh forget the regional embarassment, Tino La Bertram Best and the dude responsible for us losing that jamaica test in 1995, Courtney Browne, which ended a 15 year ubeaten streak


Meanwhile, everyone knows and respects bravo and pollard, samuel badree has been used as a coach by cricket australia. The Trinidadian players were the core of the two T20 world cup winning teams.

You and most other bajans it seems. I use the lsst two words deliberately.
I bet you if some trinis went to the world cup, the performance of the team(losing 7 out of 9 matches) would not have been as poor as it was. And all of you guys were blaming andre russell for holde and floyd's overworking an injured man. Nobody would mention that Ashley nurse dropped about 5 catches for the entire tournament, includibg smith in the teens after which he went on to make 80 sumthin. Nobody would mention holder's absurd captaincy in havibg australia 80-5 and then putting on Ashley Nurse, whose role in the team could not be figured out by Einstein. Nobody woukd talk about Reifer's hair brained tactic of trying to bounce out every side, which workedfor two games and failed miserably after.
Only Sheldon, Pooran and Fabien Allen came out of that tournament with their reputations enhanced. But alas, those unregulated days are over, much to your chagrin,but they are over.

10% gayle is better than 200% carlos. I have seen gayle score a hundred with a groin strain in QPO 2009. As i said, carlos only performs when his place in any team he plays for is quedtioned. Sports Max intervieed him after his expected ipl snub. His response is he hopes to come inas a replacement player or work in the media booth. And i was like, homie concentrate on your cricket, at this point he doesent even deserve to be a replacement. But when your place in the tesm is as a result of your board's support for the president, then you think that is best practice all over the world. Total lack of professional pride man

In spite of everything, he nonetheless seems like a decent, earnest fellow and I am rooting for him.

 
hubert 2020-05-07 16:49:07 

Carlos in my view is a good signing. But the environment he will be entering will most likely be toxic.

What I want you to get through your thick skull is that all our players are mediocre. But you jumping up like you got superstars, and wunna is first ones who does abandon us to go play for big money at every opportunity.

You don't see bajans putting IPL teams or any team before West Indies. Abandoning tours and refusing to play. Holding up notes to disrespect our cricketing greats.

And how can I forget. Trinis don't drop catches only Ashley Nurse does.
But your tits are so great they can't win a regional one day title, four day title or even de CPL lol

Ask yourself who holding these titles now? fuh sure not your tits lol lol lol

Not anyone’s fault that few Bajans are called and even fewer are chosen.

and wunna is first ones who does abandon us to go play for big money at every opportunity.

Didn’t Bajans refuse to tour Pakistan when asked?

And talk about abandon.....first ever historic test in the Caribbean against South Africa. A prestigious occasion for WEST INDIES CRICKET. Is wunna that boycott the match over petty bullshit.

Every territory has its issues. Wunna the only ones does carry on like wunna shit doh stink.

True. But Lara is the last truly great West Indian batsman which means the cupboard is not only bare for us,its bare for everybody else. And Darren bravo, despite his inconsistency still has the highest average of any test batsman currently playing for the west indies.

Maybe....but maybe West indies would have never set that record of 11 straight test match wins if Larry Gomes(an Arimian) hadn't gotten them out of trouble so many times and averaged over 90in the tests that he played which comprised the blackwash and the winter tour to Austrailia.

Maybe we would hsve more players if their weren't other sports we were world class at and the rewards much better than cricket.

Definitely Australia would have been the first team in the history of cricket on these shores to inflict a whitewash on us in 1999 if it wasn't for a certain Trinidadians heroics.

Up to now, you cant answer if barbados has produced a great player since the retirement of desmond haynes in 1995.

Shucks, i forgot. You have. Anderson Cummings was a world class bowler. Such was the chagrin at his nonselection for the SA test that you led an entire boycott. Surely the country that worships cricket would not go to war with the rest of the west indies over an average player.

on the t20 team. which is the only success the big WI seeing right now so you should thank us


There were not many trinis when the WI were great. but as i said, larry gomes was an indispensable member of that squad. IF and when the top 4 stars failed, larry was the man to get us to scores like 350 and 400 with either lloyd or dujon. Also, the last star to come out of the west indies is in fact.....dum dum dum.....a trinidadian. Marinate on that. The last two, and from what appears likely, the final two batting greats from the WI don't come from the cricketing valhalla of barbados. They come from Trinidad and Guyana.

Marinate on what?

That you are attempting to evelate Gnomes to superstar status?

The greatest success Windies achieved in T20 came at the ICC World T20 tournament.

2016 - 4 Trinis, 3 Yardies, 2 Bajans and 2 Lucians. MOM was Yardie.
2012 - 6 Trinis, 3 Yardies, 2 Lucians. MOM was Yardie.

Looks like Yardies are far more important.

But yea, you are the one who looked into history. Little impact when Windies were great. Great impact when Windies were poor. Coincidence? lol

now you're just being stupid. better quit before you cause yourself more embarrassment

who was the man of the match in the semi final......lendl simmons....how much the finals specialist(Marlon 32 Samuels) made......8. Which final would the west indies have made if not for Lendl's 82. The semi final is before the final....just clearing that up. WI made only 137 in the 2012 final. As great as Marlon's innings was.. on difficult pitches that is still not a par score. Narine took 3 for 9, two of those wickets were Sangakara and Jayawardene. Trinis dismissed the best batsmen on the SL side

In the 2012 semi final.....both bravo and pollard made 30s, together with gayle's 70 odd

Also, who was stopping tilekaratne dilshan, one of the greatest t20 players in the history of the format, if ravi rampaul had not bowled him an unplayable delivery in the first over?

Also, son....if larry wasn't there, there is no way the WI would have lasted 15 years as world champions. In fact, after 1991, the team became less and less reliant on Bajan players. Only one could make the team Desmond Haynes. Anderson Cummimngs was a quota pick....to pacify the island.
