Why are we playing Brooks

Surely Carty would be a better investment? Brooks is 34 and I don't see him continue for too long

We need to blood some youngsters in.

In reply to brians_da_bestthen carty should start scoring runs because he has done nothing to suggest he should be a automatic starter.

then why take him to SA to warm the bench when he could have played a crucial first class match for his team here. it seems pretty obvious to me that the selection policy is to go for experience so after Brooks would be Chase and Carty was never going to get a match. A shortage of FC cricket and yet you waste one of your better players in this way.

Agreed. At 34 Brooks is a wasted investment.

Not so fast, the WI needs to win a few games and create a winning culture first. Brooks is a good player who had a bad game.

I don't get why you all are clamoring for Carty to play white ball cricket, looking at him bat, I think he is more suited for test cricket

As Doosra pointed out it was none other than Larr Pullo better known for his immaculate whites when he used to play the game bowling his Right arm OPTIMISTICS.

cuz by WI standards, he has a standout 33 ODI average.

Who to put instead?

Brooks makes runs against the Afghanistan’s and Zimbabwe’s of cricket.


Brian’s da best is right. Why continue with Brooks. We don’t know what we cannot do. Give a youth like Carty a chance man.

why do you think that is a problem for Vix? He was here not so long ago telling me how great Kesrick Williams was tho his success was against minnows?

The thing is the Ozzies blood most players in ODIs before going onto test. Worked tremendously well during their run at the top. Therefore, Hope has put his hand up. See anyone else?

 
natty_forever 2023-03-20 19:59:46 

In reply to imusic... before we do (Carty), maybe we need to look at what Brooks did to be selected. Has Carty done the same or better? Reason being if a players has not done better than Brooks at the FC level then he should not be selected as we now know that players at that level will not make it at the higher level. This may have the selection list empty, hence we stay with these bunch of "underachievers" and focus on the A team candidates and work on getting their average above Brooks'?
