DOWRICH AND HOPE IN FOR BARBADOS PRIDE SQUAD

 
openning 2022-11-08 17:59:28 

Barbadian players Kraigg Brathwaite and Roston Chase have been selected to play on the West Indies team for the Australia Tour. As a result, Shane Dowrich will be replacing Kraigg Brathwaite, and Kyle Hope will be replacing Roston Chase in the CG United Super 50 tournament.

No wonder Barbados cricket has become the laughing stock.

Why Kyle?
What has he done to get a pick?
Would you not want someone like Chase to replace him, can Dowrich bowl?
Seem to be all friendly picks.

Is the team short of a Wicketkeeper/batsman?
Dowrich replaced Chase, can he bowl?
Name brands is not the way to select players

 
velo 2022-11-08 18:44:34 

In reply to openningdowrich is good enough to play purely as a batsman hisrecord is far superior than many batsmen in the region 7 first centuries at average of 33.00 either him or hope can don the gloves that is the guy you want sitting on a bench ?

Who will bowl Chase ten overs?

 
velo 2022-11-08 19:06:37 

In reply to openningthey might have to split overs between kirton and carter.

Is that the way to select a playing X1?
Our cricket has gone to the dogs.
This reminds me seeing Roland Holder wicketkeeping for Empire, none of the Blues fans saw what was happening to the Blues product.
Continue with the devaluation.

To be honest I would rather Shayne Moseley Leiniko Boucher or Shian Brathwaite over Kyle...

the replacements for CHASE should have started and wreak havoc in the Super50: Joshua Bishop and Comarie Boyce...any of them should have played instead of Warrican

Obviously the selectors have no faith in the youngsters although they have the stats to back them

You once said Kyle was the better Hope.

In reply to analyst-kid

Shaun Brathwaite yes

Bajan selectors don’t know how to pick a squad for ODIs

The batting is crap, the bowling ordinary and the captaincy unimaginable

And it has been so for a long time now

It would take the whole day, but I try Springer, Dow, warrican and possible Kirton.

Oh I thought you meant selectors

Shian Brathwaite too

I don’t think Kirton big grin

Dont understand why you so fixated on Dowrich having to be a carbon copy of Chase. There is no quality equivalent to Chase. But there is a full squad of players that will have to be shuffled to maintain the balance. The question for me was why Dowrich was not in the squad at the outset. He is still one of Barbados' best batsmen and probably has more runs left in him than Carter

Would you select a player solely by experience, who has not scored runs in some time?

 
Windiesfan78 2022-11-09 01:28:26 

Disgraceful performance by the Pride. Kindly pick a team that can bat 50 overs.

 
velo 2022-11-09 01:33:26 

this is the worst bim side that i have seen

Bulli bull Bim today.

They didn’t get that deep. Will let you know when they get there. lol

 
Judgement 2022-11-09 19:52:12 

Shai Hope feels he is bigger than the Barbados team and it shows in the lack of cohesion in the Bim team this season. Even during Covid, Shai refused to play unless Kyle was included in the squad (and then they both tested positive for Covid) so Kyle Hope coming out of retirement the minute Shai is captain of the Barbados team is no coincidence.

 
Larr Pullo 2022-11-10 12:46:04 

Ashley Nurse wasn't available, or they coulda picked Ryan Hurley...

 
analyst-kid 2022-11-10 17:13:50 

In reply to Larr Pullo

Ashley Nurse or Kenroy Williams could have replaced the allrounder Chase.

Alcindo Holder on twelfth man duty.

In reply to analyst-kid

you were critical of Nurse for many years and now you want him back in the team.

But I would not mind having the 20 yo Rashaad Worrell as the opener with Rasheed Roberts as the all-rounder.

The team is slim on batting and bowling with the reserves.

 
analyst-kid 2022-11-10 23:39:35 

In reply to tc1

I was critical of Nurse esp in the four day format. But the spin options for Barbados are limited with Chase out and Joshua Bishop recruited with the Acadamy.

Replacing Chase you needed a wicket taking spin option who can bat. To me that could only be Nurse or Williams.

I ask whats the difference between Bulli and Nurse?

The Bajan selectors have clearly refused to acknowledge young emerging batters

He was when they were in High school. smile

Shai was 13 at that time. He about 6 years older.

 
tc1 2022-11-11 02:32:38 

In reply to analyst-kid

you are making valid point ,noted,

Nurse is less talented than most cricketers, but he gives his all.

This Bim team is slim in batting and bowling, The youngsters need to step up. Springer, Zach, Jordan, Boyce, Kirton and Simmonds

 
imusic 2022-11-11 07:58:21

On the West Indies team currently in Oz?

Might as well. They’ll probably do better anyway.

This Bajan guy Matthew Forde playing for CCC seems an excellent white ball bowler....he is miserly BOTH in T20 and List A. I recall him in a CPL match with figures 4-0-9-0 or something like that...excellent for a pacer...he has gone on to the Super 50 with miserly figures again.

 
tc1 2022-11-11 14:35:39 

In reply to analyst-kid

he was a key allrounder at wc20 and opened the bowling, this year may help him ascend to the Bimshire team in the near future. He will be competing against Mayers and Holder.

 
TheTrail 2022-11-11 18:54:06 

In reply to TC1

Shai was 13 at that time. He about 6 years older.


Cricket-wise, what does the age difference have to do with it? I am stating what some people in Bim were saying when Shai was around 15,16.
But as usual, some of those distractors don't know any better, but I digress.

I was a fast bowler in Highschool; therefore, I should know the pros and cons of batsmanship because I was coached by some of the best back then.
But heh, Cricket was never my end goal.

 
TheTrail 2022-11-11 18:59:25 

How come there is no love for Kevin Stoute? He is an all-rounder who could easily replace Chase in Bim's team.

 
tc1 2022-11-11 19:25:02 

In reply to TheTrail


I have not lived in Bim for decades, and is not aware of the comparison, but why age may make a difference is that Kyle is at least 5 years older than Shai. At that age difference the younger sibling may outperformed the older over time.

However, you stated this was not the case.


Did Kyle started playing at QC before going to Lodge?

 
Logic 2022-11-11 22:27:57 

In reply to analyst-kid
Ashley Nurse or Kenroy Williams? Smh. Look how you got Imusic making mock sport at you. We at last bury that dud Nurse and you want to resurrect him. Stuupse.

Jokers now go and drop Primus. More evidence that Bim team is an old boys club. Some nuisances you can't get out of the team while other talented players only get a half chance but they get the drop.

For some reason Nicholas Kirton seems to be the new golden boy. Doing sweet FA but cant get drop
