Keacy Carty should be given a chance

He is a fairly organized young batsman. Number 3 could be a good spot for him

Players are coming from the same defective stock.

"Fix the base" has been touted on here from the time I joined and before.

Sad, really

he has not really pushed on as one would have liked

True, Velo. He needs a dominant season this year to make the push. I would also keep Imlach (also not having a good 2023 so far) and Athanaze in mind. I know some people rate Goolie highly and he played very well in that partnership with Pooran in the last Regional Super50 but for some reason, TT selectors persist with JaMo instead of giving him an opportunity so he really does not get a chance to impress. We need to change the middle order and hopefully before the India series we see some alternatives coming forward who will be available to play.

A chance to mess up the place . . . sad

What chance do you think dat a 26.15 FC average, after 38 games, Carty will have at de highest level? Carty and others shud be contracted to attend full time academies and provided with the opportunity to play more cricket than dey are currently involved in. Otherwise is de same flavour of the month, merry go round of players with not enuff experience and mediocre averages dat will here today and gone tomorrow.

Carty is not ready yet. The man who whould have gone on this tour was King. However they seem to have pigeon holed him, but he was the man who should be looked at to join the test batting lineup. Reifer at number 3? We making mock sport!

Problem is none of them step up and really dominate a season. There is no consistency from none of them. The only player who always seems to be hungry for runs whenever he goes out there is KB. Now you Tage in the same light. All others score one or two good scores then fade away as the season progresses.

It would be nice to see all of them play the regional 4 day tournament. This would increase competition all around. Add a development team for all that are not first choice in their regional team. Managed by Test team Mgr. with his staff. Make them continue to work also.

No one seems to be feeling the pain for this continued decline in standards. Too much laughing and smiling and not enough hard work.
