Note to selectors of WI A team (South Africa)

Don't pick Raymond Reifer, stop picking these cricketers who have shown they can't cut it at any level
I would name a few more but let's leave it at Reifer for now

Is Corwall in the future for West INdies cricket?

Congratulations to Shamar Joseph, Akeem Jordan, Zachary McCaskie & Jair McAllister on your selection in the West Indies A tour of South Africa

Are you forgetting the golden boy Dasilva, who will probably be cappo.

is there a future with Hamilton

Ditto to Ray re Cornwall

Why not include the yute Jordon Johnson

Why Blackwood; however, I can understand him needing work/practice.

Cornwall
Mindley

JDS is in my squad.

Blackwood should go as it would be better for him to go and bat rather than sitting at home waiting on the Australia tour to come.

Have you seen the South Africa 'A' Squad. Far from inexperienced.

 
TanteMerle 2023-11-10 21:12:41 

In reply to WICFan

On second thoughts, he needs the match practice
cause he sucked in CPL and Super 50

shock

The 'A' Tour overlaps with the ODI Series so I would rather take some guys like Tage, JDS and Seales to get some red-ball cricket ahead of the Australia tour.

In reply to navindesigns

the team has been named?

 
dayne 2023-11-10 22:49:56 

No one over thirty should be in the A team, instead of Hamilton, Blackwood and Cornwall, IMO they should give Imlack, Sinclair, Greaves and Shemar Joseph a try.

 
Speed100 2023-11-11 13:12:12 

Take Nandu, teddy bishop, young and the kid Johnson who score lots of runs recently against Sri Lanka

Agree

 
imusic 2023-11-11 13:30:10 

What formats) of the game is this A team series against SA going to be played?

If it’s 50 over cricket, I seeing names like Tageand Nandu calling. Somebody picking Nackwoood?

To do what exactly?

Blackwood should t be anywhere near any WI team in any format. Neither should Raymon Reifer or Bonner.

In reply to imusic

Bonner maybe not, thinks his problem is psychological.

This tour will be while the odi series is on against England.

Emerging Ireland side touring the Caribbean to play the Academy in red ball and white ball formats this month.

 
dayne 2023-11-12 16:48:01 

Well they selected two players who are about or over thirty, Hodge and Sherman Lewis. IMO they could have used the positions on emerging players. Lewis is injury prone and Hodge is not the future.

 
PalsofMine 2023-11-12 18:01:21 

In reply to dayne

I am surprised at Hodge, not so much at Lewis.

In reply to Onionman0

And you left out Da. Kmt

 
dayne 2023-11-14 13:05:50 

In reply to PalsofMine

I would have picked MacSween or John, in place of Lewis and I would have picked Jeremiah in place of Hodge. The Selectors just keep recycling some players. We know the cupboard is almost empty but both Lewis and Hodge have had several tours and no notable improvements are being seen. Lewis is a good swing bowler, but he is injured a lot

 
Onionman0 2023-11-14 13:19:40 

In reply to natty_forever

Silva already in first XI of test match.....wanted Hope & Dowrich to get some red ball short stuff.....both can simply play as batter....as well keeper...

 
dayne 2023-11-14 14:00:06 

In reply to Onionman0

Hope is captain of the ODI team so he will not be able to play as the England tour of the WI will be going on at the same time

 
PalsofMine 2023-11-14 15:50:42 

I agree that Dowrich would have been a good pick seeing our middle order woes in red ball cricket but I suppose Imlach is second in line behind Silva for the keeper spot. I think that Dowrich still has some good years left in him as a middle order batsman
