Hopefully some of the young players took Kraigg through the batting drills too.. he need it more than them..

i would hope they would dream to average more than 40 yes. Kraigg could dream like that too since he averages under it

It about giving of his time.
I hope he listen to his words, surround himself with people who will look after him, and he should be okay.
Following the BCA I am seeing improvement in his SR, since his last tour.
He is the last person I expected to be among the runs and SR, in any T20 competition, but he is.
Kirk Edwards is a solid person to practice with

cpl is finished....i wasn't talking about the t20 format. Kraigg only plays tests. kraigg scored 179 runs at just under 30.....unacceptable

It was good for the two players to give their time to the young players, hopefully they were inspirational, but hopefully none of the young players copy the batting styles of Kraigg B or K. Edwards, two of the most awkward looking batsmen in modern times.

Lara already taught that to young Trini cricketers..

indeed....you srealize no TT batsman has a weird and faulty technique like brathwaite or edwards. But i liked kirk. should have been given a longer run. At least he had the discippline to stick ity out. Kraigg to me is a totally useless opener. Sucks up balls, if he isn't caught hanging his bat outside off stump....doesn't even make runs, just sits their and its why he averages in the 30s. Edwards averaged 31 from 17 tests. Brathwaite averages 33 from 62.

Man, F..k CPL, I am referring to local cricket in Barbados, from where Barbados players get selected.

What standard is there in the region?
Bro, if you want to talk about T20 league cricket, I am not a follower.
BTW, the last longer version that players like Pollard and Bigb played, you would not want to see their stats posted.

hoss, you really saying that a league that attracts international, world class talent is irrelevant because of the format? lord put a hand.........which international player plays or is rushing to play for spartan or empire. Does rashid khan want to play for pickwick or st catherine?

It is not a format that I follow, bowling 4 overs dont tell me a bowler can be successful bowling 10 or more in a match.
The format reminds me of Sunday cricket I saw as a youth, the only difference, Players are payed tons of money to play.

all well and good but 4 overs facing krenglijn is better than facing ten overs of whoever was playing outside the cpl tournament

Dude, if thats the format you enjoy nothing wrong with that.
As the saying goes, Horses for courses.

Young cricketers should dream big

So they should forget about test cricket and concentrate their efforts on T20 format

Make sense

Bro, that format works for some, but not all.
Is Simmons, LittleB, and many regional T20 stars still sort after?

 
imusic 2020-09-14 22:13:15 

In reply to openning

Simmons done make his money playing T20

Lil B olays all formats

It wasn’t me say cricketers should dream big

Dreaming BIG in the cricket world today is playing IPL and other T20I leagues around the world. That is where cricketers make the most money

That is what “do people dem come fi see”

Is not me invent it. It just is what it is.
