Here are a few names/changes that y'all should consider after the break...

WI Academy...
1. Rivaldo Clarke for Tuckett
2. Simmons (young Bajan left arm pacer) for one of the current pacers
3. Junior Sinclair (off-spin and strengthen the batting)

CCC
1. Nathan Edwards
2. Sealey (left arm spin)
3. Pascal to replace one of Ganga boys that he pushing.

Jamaica should also consider pulling in Wedderburn as a replacement for one of their pensioners.

Got too many guys with potential on the outside watching... Gotta get them in somehow.

Sealy is a better spinner that Romario Greaves
Edwards better than Blades

Give them a chance.

Wish could have gotten more games in a regional.season .....soon play hit form.the season end n they get no more FC experience till next year

You have 5 or 6 games to do all you can ...a player on the bench might seat an entire FC season and don't get a looking

How long were the old Red Stripe Cup competition in terms of games played?

But back then our guys used to go over and play county cricket. Not any more.

Before Red Stripe was the Shell Shield.The first two years 66 and 67 had all the best players on show.
There was Combined Islands along with the Foundation big 4 and each team only had 4 Games.
But the quality was better than most Test matches today.
Sobers led Bim to the first two Titles.
When the best are involved, quality talks.
The same was true even when Inter Colonial matches were the fare.Most of those game involved were
of 5 Days duration. Tough cricket among the Big4.
Times have changed and most on show now would not even make a second Eleven back in those days.
It is what it is and we have to live with it although it is painful watching on a large scale. smile

Sylus Tyndall if he gets over his injury...not sure what is wrong with him but I read he is REAL quick that boy. If the likes of him, Pascal, Edwards can be brought into the red ball rounds that remain, it can only be good for their long term development.

Edwards is already with Leewards. I suggest Hayden Walsh Jr instead.

Well that's the reason we should play more regional games ...

No county

Alzarri might be returning after the break for LI... Hard for Nathan to get into the final XI.

Better off starting his career with CCC... Gonna get more opportunities. Think he was training with CCC during the super50 too.
