Tino and the former Maple captain are among the best analysts around.
The stats Tino was able to speak about, shows you, potential has very little value

In reply to TheTrail True true story; agreed. He's good.

cool

He has definitely found a career after playing, and I hope he can continue to develop his skills and get the same passion for it as he did for bowling fast.
He does bring a different and much-needed perspective to the audience. His anecdotes are timely, and the fact that he was a player at the highest level gives him a good point of reference.

Speaks well but must learn to keep his Narcism at bay. I heard him talk about what a handsome fellow he is and for me that's a turnoff. Let others make that observation.

True, but sometimes you know some of these cricketers...

they are at times hesitant to curb their enthusiasm.
lol

Tino is the Donald Trump of Barbados

I do like to listen to him, I mean sometimes he do crack me up especially when he starts about how much he loves the number 69 lol lol
Once he know how and when to speak it (so as not to offend the touchy folks) he'll come good
I must agree with most here he brings a different perspective, and like how he played the game, quite recently too, i think he's able to be a lot more balanced and current with his views on the state of the game.
I really hope he can make it professionally.

And he talks a lot about how he gets a rush when he bowls quick, but gun barrel raw pace has left him with some unflattering stats in test - 57 wickets from 45 innings high average of 40.19.

Think he'll ever figure out that if he was able to get some movement with the pace he would have picked up more test wickets?

Not sure lack od movement was his main problem. Think it was lack of accuracy.

There is only so much self promotion dat one can listen to and Tino has reached the limit for me.
