In reply to Narper
exactly..you know many times I hear ppl mess up them two boys...and I caught myself falling for it too.
Is he an all format player or rather should he?
In reply to mkcharles
I told Brandon, thru a good friend that I look forward to one day watching him make a test century at Lords.He is that good.

King is a player, where would you bat him in red ball?
In reply to Dukes
I was sceptical about King and red ball cricket but now Im a believer
In terms of batsmanship, I believe Hetmyer, King, Hope and Brooks (in that order) are the four best batsmen in the Caribbean. Brooks and Hope are not good at T20s though and it baffles me how both struggle so much in red all cricket as well. And saying they are the best batsman, I am not saying so based on stats. Just based on pure batsmanship. Same way Carl Hooper was a better batsman than Chanderpaul in terms of batsmanship but Chanderpaul significantly outperformed Hooper.

How you could leff out West Indies #3 test batsman??


In reply to b4u8me2
Which Hetmyer? I only know one who play cricket and I would not even classify him as promising.
Try King, Hope and Brooks in that order.
In reply to JoeGrine
i am with you on that. As a stylist, Hetmyer is not up there with Hope, Brooks and King. I have posted before that Brooks and King esp are two batsmen I would pay to watch live and I did, all the way to Netherlands in the early summer and neither disappointed. I wish King well and I would bat him at 4 or 5 in the test team if he ever plays enough FC cricket to show that he can handle the rigours of the longest format.

I would say Pooran and King look like a twin, especially under the helmet
In reply to XDFIX
Except for the small matter that one is a left handed and the other a right hander
In reply to powen001

King played a single FC match this season and I believe he got a hundred.
He was doing quite okay in red ball before all of this white ball cricket came along.
The scheduling has affect the likes of Hope, Chase as two examples of only playing a format of cricket that is not the strongest bow in their arrow. If you check and see how many actual FC matches Hope has played since 2018 it is no wonder he struggles in Test Cricket because he has not had a platform to go back and fine tune. You play what is in front of you to earn a living.
But this is about King who is a player. I would bat him in the middle order in red ball and let some of the others look for a spot.

X man you are taking the mickey
King is athletic in appearance Pooran closer to Hetty in girth
King and Hope do look like brothers complexion wise both are of athletic build King is taller
Those two are quality stroke makers along with Brooks all three lack consistency
