Sorry, but these are mostly bowlers and not batsmen .....

In reply to anthonyp

Nonsense! It's called "de over cover"

In reply to Kay

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the headline. .
And Keith Atherton and Stuart Williams names came up right away!

In reply to Kay

some levity to our current predicament

I thought bowlers were batsmen who bowled better.

In reply to anthonyp

The worst batsman has to be Lance Gibbs.

Ganga.

In reply to anthonyp

For me, it's a toss up between Suruj Ragoonath and Floyd Reifer.

Nkrumah Eljego Bonner

Oops, sorry. Just noticed that he has a test batting average of 38.23 over his 15 matches, way better than Jermaine Blackwood's 30.18 over his 56 matches.

Floyd Reifer

Lance Gibbs takes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd

The man couldn't hold on so captain Worrell was left N.O. on 98 in 1962 series against India. That would have been Worrell's last century. Was a little lad listening on the radio. Never forgot the moment and at the time was pretty mad with Val.

In reply to anthonyp

ah mean..

lol

talk about a GLARING OMISSION

But to be fair-

You should compare TEST batsmen to TEST Batsmen...and then the stats would speak loudest.

most guys who are abysmal get dropped...

it may be those who are first class bullies and then never perform at the highest level.

Twinkle toes
Bravo
Brooks
Hetmyer

man...we got nuff o them from our region...I dont know the failures from other teams.

yes ... I have Bravo in there and Hety...

I await the knives lol

In reply to powen001

Your test captain has a lower batting average than Darren Bravo but he not on your list?

Got to be my favorite batsman Lincoln Roberts, followed by Reifer, Raj Chandrika and Chattergoon.

In reply to powen001

Bravo got a better average than Kraigg... Hety got a better average than Shai Hope in test too.

Having seen Fidel bat almost an entire day against India in partnership with Chanderpaul for a draw...and seen him help windies draw other matches..I would withdraw him from that last

In reply to anthonyp

Agreed. But Kraigg's average is trending slightly upwards (34) whereas Bravo average has significantly dropped from after being comparable to Lara's at one point (36).
