Bimmers?

(1) Who knows anything about this Cricket player Nico Reifer that plays for Surrey Div 2? He is twenty years old. Has he ever played U 19 Cricket in Barbados?
It seems England prefers players from NZ, SA, and Barbados.

Why is that?

1.Chris Jordan

2. Jofra Archer

3. Nico Reifer

4. Zachary McCaskie Bpp -- Opening batsman tutored by the one and only, Dessie. He is a very good judge of a talented Cricketer. I should know, NGH.
Who is next on the Brits "hit" list?

Dominic Drakes, and J Gibson Bpp

Are Cricket West Indies and revengeful Skerritt and his selectors driving these players to rethink the alternatives?
Could Ambrose be right on with his assessment of WI Cricket?

Skerritt was CWI/WICB President when Chris Jordan and Jofra Archer made their decisions to play for England?

Is it that Brits prefer Bajans?

Or is it more that Bajans feel they more English than West Indian? cool

The 18-year-old Knight is in his final year as a student
“Jordan is a big, fiery fast bowler who bowls at express pace and will offer something different to our current playing roster.
“He is a right-arm over slinger and has been clocked at mid to high-80s


touching down at 90 mph at 18?!?

Jofra redux?!?

Oh plzzzzz..........bajan players were jumping ship long before skerrit came on the scene. They have no loyalty to WI cricket. As soon as they are not being babied, they complain and leave. Roach, Chase and especially Kraigg and Shai Hope are notable exceptions. Those guys have real heart. I rate them highly.

Yuh know when players chose the IPL instead of playing for Cameron's windies, you guys called it disloyalty. Anyways, does not mean he's going to play for England, Shai Hope did A levels in England and played cricket there and he is playing for the WI

Yeah I remember that. And after i watched him in a D/N fixture in QPO for CCC and he was pure class. Abd still is pure class. I hooe they are going to play him in the tests. The campbell option has been tried and obviously its not working

The thinking is that K Powell will be selected if he performs and Campbell fails in the two preparation matches. Don't know what will happen if both crack centuries.

They is another opener in the mixed, who scored a ton against NZ A, so whose thinking is it?
