COACH SIMMONS D


Good ranking except I would give Coach an F. He was "absent"

Unfair to McCoy. Had a toe injury during CPL, got the impression it never fully healed as he played one game.

The only player deserves passing grade is Hetmyer. Holder “I”, all the rest should be given F.

But, Gayle TOP SCORED in one match! razz

Maybe wrong thread, but I need to point out the following superlative.

We have the distinction of posting the lowest score of the group round.

Our 55 posted in the opening game is still standing.

How Hetmyer get B after amassing 46 runs in 4 innings

The most you can get for one good score out of 5 possible chances is a C-...looks like bias to me..idk cool


Matter of fact..removing Pollard's 44 and Hetmyer's 81...their stats are identical, their best innings is the difference between a B and and F?? evil

Polly should get a B for hitting the 6 we won by

In reply to DIEHARD

Have you forgotten that Hetty came in at # 7 after Russell was dismissed on the second ball of the 19th over.He had to slog the first ball he got and on the second ball did the same and in trying to get back for 2 he was run out.You seriously want to count that against him?

In any event arguing with you is a waste of time so you can continue to utilize your powers of observation to analyze data and come up with your own conclusions.

U know in advance it's a waste of time because you've presented facts and I'm unable to adjust my views accordingly?

Ok lol

U can admit to a little bias, no analysis of Pollard's dismissals as well then?

If we looking at how people got out to put their numbers in context

Read this


Kieron Pollard is one of the greatest T20 players ever, having played as many as 518 T20s for various franchises across leagues. He has been a star all-rounder for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, and has played an instrumental role in the team's all four victorious campaigns. This year as well, he is looking in brilliant form, hitting sixes at will wielding the willow for the Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League.

Now such a great T 20 player averages 14 in 23 World Cup T 20 matches is worth an F grade when he never crosses 50 runs and repeatedly fails when his team needs him.Such an experienced campaigner in T 20 format with more than 500 games under his belt.

There are a few (not many) people on this board who can change their opinion if facts are presented to them that call for a change of opinion.I have not seen any evidence of that in your case.Maybe I need to look harder.I will endeavor to do so in the future!!!

So your grades are relative to expectations and not actual performance then?

If that is so then fair grade, but as an absolute not really
And yes I've actually been accused of being a flip flopper for changing my stance based on new information
