Dont be a skunt Navin....he has had his chances.... NEVER made use of any of them.

If he was any good he would have taken over from Dowrich....De Silva comes years after and became #1 keeper ....but the Jah man still there

Now he is permanent in the set up he doesnt have to perform at the regional level either

Same like Warrican.....they are permanent selections in any WI squad....for life

He won't play anyway, so what's your big problem?

One has to ask, do they need three wicketkeepers in a squad of 17 players?
A player scoring a century is selected, a bowler claiming the most wickets in the last regional series, then leading the attack in the Best vs Best is not selected.
Is this Opiss, Courtney Browne or Kraigg Brathwaite doing?

Hamilton is the best gloves-man in the Caribbean, but his batting is too inconsistent to be the number one keeper. However he must be well liked and a good team man to be included as much as he has been.

So he leapfrog ahead of Ramdin?

Naah its Harper and Big Belly Simmons...they have their own personal agenda.

Seeing some of these posts, I thought the man has played 50 test matches already.

I couldn't believe when I saw he's just played one!

Now skunt Ramdin was someone you should have attacked, the man kept getting picked without doing anything

Hamilton is the best gloves-man in the Caribbean,

The best Gloveman in the Caribbean is Ramdin...by far

Since the tour of England hearing Roger, I have put an X to his name.

Check how many TIMES he has been behind the stumps for WI....and every time he looked cluesless....

 
brians_da_best 2021-08-09 17:06:15 

In reply to Narper

So he's played 1 test and 1 odi. Is that a big sample?

 
Narper 2021-08-09 17:10:39 

In reply to brians_da_best

Look....if you follow the WI cricket closely you will know he has taken the gloves...as a relief keeper....and shit on his tail doing so.....absolutely clueless

I agree, he hasn't covered himself with glory, but usually people get 5-6 games to prove they belong or not.

Hamilton has had 2 across 2 formats.

That's all

After his initial selection to the WI squad, what has he done at the regional level with bat or ball.

Even his most ardent supporter VOR was disappointed time and again.

The fact is this guy id NOT getting better....being in the squad and not playing may have been a disservice to his development.

He should play a full regional season before any future selection

There is no keeper more clueless than DaSilva. I cannot understand the love affair with him. Shai Hope should be the test and ODI keeper, and if Hope is injured or whatever, then the duties should go to Hamilton. DaSilva went to England as part of developmental squad, and due to the mishap with Dowrich found himself having to take the gloves, and since then they are acting like he is some front line keeper. He simply is not!
