Bowl or Bawl???

This is such a sticky situation because it’s so easy to argue both ways but what’s disappointing is that Bravo top the charts 2 years in a row and can’t even make a 15 man squad so what’s the point of Super50 then???

What’s even more sickening is the fact that if they weren’t going to pick him in the ODI’s why the efff is he not in SA then with a chance to be in our Test Team???

Darren Michael Bravo is still the best red ball batsman we have in the region!!!

For two seasons, my brother showcased exceptional talent, becoming the leading run-scorer in the latest tournament with over 400 runs, a batting average of 83.2, and an SR of 92. I usually stay away from these discussions, but the mistreatment, disrespect, and dishonesty towards players over the years demand a voice. When will it stop? When will this BS actually stop? To Mr. Desmond Haynes, your statement didn't surprise me. It feels like another former player singing for his supper. I hoped for trust in the system with figures like you, Sammy, and the new director of cricket, but the system failed again

Could a possible reason be that Haynes see our batters as the best in the world, that the team he picked could stand up against any bowling attack in the world?
That all the others batters he picked is better than Bravo.

DBravo is an overrated scunt but, he deserves a chance after his exploits in the regional. DHaynes and Scammy at it again with their bias.

We dont have the luxury to exclude our best performing players…even if it is expected that Bravo wont be around for the WC in 2027 there is no reason why he cant be in the team now while we build around him….2027 is a long way away - there is no guarantee that the younger players will perform….if we are going to reset every 2 years it is difficult to build a winning culture….
I’ve said it a number of times the horse trading selection policy has been a millstone around the neck of West Indies cricket for decades….then to add insult to injury we are also saddled with an unqualified coach….

Ah who retire Shiv again? Not sure this is right but until administrative mentality changes are made by CWI, we will be talking about this for years to come.
