Rayad Emrit would be a reserve on my team!

Rayad Emrit??

Naveen was better


Emrit's average, economy rate AND strike rate is better, plus Emrit can bat a bit. In which way was Naveen better?

Well Simmons has topped the run charts this year... maybe he should make the team now.

Chase and Munro would be in my reserve!

I am not picking any team without Pooran! Nevertheless, your take cannot be faulted!

In reply to XDFIX

Unfortunately Pooran was inconsistent. He averaged less than 30 this season.

That's an area where he has room for improvement.

 
cricket_jumbie 2020-09-18 14:54:50 

No Dre Russ??? shock

Even if he had a batting average of 10.0, Dre plays.

In reply to cricket_jumbie

Yeah, gross error on the part of the commentators!

Injured.

 
imusic 2020-09-18 18:45:48 

Simmons made runs in 2 of the 10 matches

Otherwise, he had a pretty poor CPL.

But those 2 innings were massive......especially in the final

I wouldn’t pick him in my CPL XI

I wouldn’t have Emrit either. Chase probably deserved it more.

Can’t argue with the rest much

Normally you would be right. But selection is based on performance in the tournament.

Dre Russ was rightfully not selected on that point
