Stop the foolish posts and just be happy we won,it's nothing to do with Bravo,the fact that he should have played is open to discussion but he wasn't even selected in the squad.Hetty just about got hhis head above water.Dem Titties in allyh every walk of life,keep it down will you.

T&T gets the most abuse on this site

It matter not whether its makes up lies or not..

Its just the first game, lets wait till the series is over than praise the team.

We haven't learnt from pass experiences...

In the interim lets wish the team the best.cool

If hety applies his mind, and he showed some traces of that today, and priorities west indies cricket, he's a way better prospect than Darren bravo ever has been

i don't think Trinis get that much abuse, but that is subjective, but I do think Bravo should have been selected, he may have wasted the better part of his career, but there is enough left in him to make a worthwhile contribution

Results matter...they won with the team they have!

In reply to hawk

But between hety and bravo at their respective stages of their careers, why would you pick bravo over hety?

The wise ones at CWI makes such decisions

Polly showed potential in 4 day games ...he was determined to be not.
Benaud noted he would have progressed to the Aussies Test team.

Now we have lil b who knows where they will decide his future if he still has one .

Pollard played 27 first class ganes. This over 8 years. Averaging 3 and a half games a year.

Had he seriously wanted a red ball career, he needed to play 2-3 full seasons and perform consistently. He very quickly gravitates to white ball cricket, only making sporadic appearance for Trinidad 'when he had time'

How can you say he should have been selected for tests?

 
sgtdjones 2023-12-03 22:08:21 

Did you read what Richie Benaud said when Polly was playing in Australia?

he needed to play 2-3 full seasons and perform consistently.


I reckon lil b didn't achieve such?

me tinks a trini did some thing to this individual brians_da_best, his constant belittling and negativity is not healthy.

Commentators praise players all the time. A certain very famous commentator claimed hety would be the next big thing in West Indies cricket. So far, he hasn't even come close.

How many commentators had the skill on the cricket filed as Benaud?

He gets into the test team after some decent FC performances and then fails. Similar to Devon smith. He can't complain about not getting chances, he just hasn't done enough to feel entitled to an automatic pick in the team

What runs?

 
Brerzerk 2023-12-03 23:14:31 

I'm glad the boys win except that it will always cover up the problems.
But one has to wonder if dem men on here have Ooman. Dem 'run cum' quick-quick.
And, if the series is lost they'll run n hide quick-quick. WI cricket deserves better on here.
Please also bear in mind that from 1930 odd (except form the early 2000's) WI has always
done reasonably well vs. WI at home.
