Let us as WI celebrate IPL Pooran

Why did Pooran's price go up from INR 10.75 to 16 crore despite his poor recent form?
Some may have thought that Pooran's IPL stock would have fallen because of his poor recent run: since August this year, Pooran averages only 10.80 from 20 T20 innings with a strike rate of 114.28. Those included his disappointing scores of 13, 7 and 5 in the T20 World Cup after which he resigned as West Indies captain.

But a few things would have worked in Pooran's favour in the auction on Friday. One, his recent scores. He turned his form around by hammering 345 runs in the Abu Dhabi T10 at a staggering strike rate of 234.69 with the help of 25 sixes and 31 fours in just 10 innings. Second, he has impressive strike rates against both spin (152.20 in 31 innings) and pace (151.42 from 39 innings) in the IPL.

Lastly, many teams were looking for a wicketkeeper and Pooran fits into that role. Whether INR 16 crore ($1.95 million) was worth spending on him or not is debatable, but such are the dynamics of a mini-auction.]

If he is fool’s gold and we are paupers, let the rich have their say and shut our luckless mouths… just saying… if Motie is better, his time will come…

Dem de seh de same thing bout Philip Narine....But Philip delivered the goods for dem.....and dem made him big and the dem called him for pelting too as a warning....that he navel string buried with IPL....and Philip has duly complied...as compliant as a millionaire.

Nicky Poo has been a duck farmer at IPL.....but is capable of delivering ... no question about that...the cleanest hitter in the game today......Even after the WC debacle...Nicky Poo maintained he was not going to give up the WI cappoship ...until the IPL big sahibs spoke to him recently...and made an offer....Poo immediately resigned the WI cappoship....now IPL will come first.... AND I HAVE NO PR0BLEM WITH THAT

BTW.....IPL is preparing two so called FINISHERS for WI

I am celebrating ALL the WI players at IPL

They are bringing the glory to WI people...not like the WI team


big grin

How do you know the IPL wanted Nicholas to resign? Puncheon told you? Alcoholic hallucinations have never revealed the truth on hetmeyer? What about past players in England? What about that hero? Grow up my brother- your hate - tricky as it is- begins to consume you. Nicholas could not take your relentless attacks anymore…so he resigned… He felt relieved…it seems that Nicky Poo’s false god has turned your water into puncheon.z confused

 
Barry 2022-12-25 01:49:33 

So the IPL big wigs knew that Nicholas would win the t10, bat well, and a team would pay so much for him?

How do you know is truth? That is puncheon induced slander- the way only a person like that can do…Pooran’s demise does not mean Hetmeyer’s revival evil

 
Barry 2022-12-25 10:06:10 

Stand with me brothers against this liad puncheon induced slander

Nicky Poo maintained he was not going to give up the WI cappoship ...until the IPL big sahibs spoke to him recently...and made an offer..]


A man hates his own so much he would slander the homeland…when did Pooran receive the bid and when did he resign…. You wanted him to stay so that the short freak from Barbados could slander him some more? Hashtag West Indian naked envy

Pooran is two in one - a batter and wicketkeeper. I think the IPL outfit should have paid more for him!

Here is why this mega deal for Nicky P could be a blessing for WI cricket.This deal hopefully reduces his desire to chase Freanchise deals all over the world and allows him to only play IPL franchise cricket.It should also give him the financial base to now focus on fulfilling all cricketer's innermost desire and that is to be recognized as a great of the game.One can only be recognized as such from one's performances in TEST CRICKET. If he is only playing IPL he is available for 10 months of each year to play TEST CRICKET for the WI.Anybody who is earning over 1 Million dollars from the IPL does not need to play other franchise cricket if there are CWI sanctioned cricket being played at that time.

I think that at least five of the 2016 champion young guns- Pooran, Hetmeyer and Joseph should be the core of the future big grin

unless he performed like he did last year at the IPL.

Nicky Poo has been a duck farmer at IPL.....but is capable of delivering


His big payday is based on promise/potential to perform. However, if he does not deliver, his cork duck! If the pressure of the big payday plays on his mind, he better get some consultant to help guide him....its for his own good.

On the other hand, if he delivers he is set for life...like Narine. Good for him, if that happens.

Envy begins- Genesis 4:1-6


Cain and Abel

4 Adam[a] made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.[b] She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth[c] a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”]
