Big hitter Andre McCarthy?

Someone asked about Allen's absence. Any news on this player.
Has he retired ? Another one missing is Derval Green . Too old ?

I believe that Odean Smith and Derval Green would be competing for the same spot.

But I have no idea why Fabian Allen is absent.

In reply to LBW375 & Slipfielder

I believe that these two will slot in after Nkruma Bonner and Jermaine

Blackwood depart for the Australian tour.

Thanks.
I expected King to be named in the Test squad.
This WI team needs people who can bat, even a little as playing against Australia in Australia
demands this.
I have not heard of the Test Squad yet so I hope Selector Haynes give King a chance. King has
ability and shows good promise.
I also expect Hope and Brooks to be in the Test squad and to replace Campbell, I would go with
Keiron Powell rather than Tage Chanderpaul for this tour.

The sooner the squad get to OZ the better..they need to be acclimated to the pitches as soon and as
long as possible before the Tests.

I would go with Tage. We need to find a way to protect the middle order from the new ball

I also believe King could make the trip.

 
Yadi 2022-10-26 16:26:48 

In reply to Baje

Both Tage Chanderpaul and Brandon King could go together.

In reply to Baje

Agree. However I think South Africa is better for him to start his career.He will get more cricket by then..hopefully
some domestic FC games.. as there is nothing going on now and he will be going to OZ cold..That could be tragic.

Tage is in the squad.

 
hubert 2022-10-26 17:27:54 

In reply to buds

Good then. What is the Squad ?

 
Yadi 2022-10-26 17:33:05 

In reply to buds

Rahkeem Cornwall is also in the squad to Australia.

In reply to Yadi

Why?

 
bird 2022-10-26 17:48:02 

In reply to hubert
so you would bring in an absolute or bona fide failure in Powell, the guy has never shown any aptitude or commonsense, rather than giving Tage a shot, what deference whether SA or Aus same condition same relentless fast bowlers, WI need some new blood whether for bad or good, Ganga was taken to SA at age 19 against the most brutal pace attack in the world at that time

 
Yadi 2022-10-26 17:55:12 

In reply to VoopsandOut

Because of his height and the potential EXTRA-BOUNCE of those pitches.

His hitting in the recently concluded T-20's would also have contributed.

 
hubert 2022-10-26 18:19:12 

In reply to bird
Yes. He is also one of the few WI players playing who is an immortal. He knows how to get runs
and has got runs before. I would prefer his experience in Australia.

But I don't think he is in the squad ..some people are talking about the squad..But can't or won't
release it. It's top secret. Shouldn't be..we at the bottom right now
lol lol lol

Check out Aldaine Thomas.

Good Glove man and plays spin well. I think he scored a century against Guyana last tournament.
