Only pure badmind will stop Mikyle Louis

From touring with the west indies to England later this year .

A tour. He has had a great season but does this justify a test call??

In reply to PalsofMine

I think if Chanderpaul fails again in the last round of matches, he may well be under serious pressure for his slot opening with Captain Braffit.

Louis will surely be in the conversation. The area outside off stump is a concern with him but anything straight and he looks solid. Plus, he hits that ball hard...which is a good thing when the other opener is poking it around all day

In reply to 4REALQUICKS

He is definitely in the conversation.

Tough squad to make at this time though.

Let's debate after the last round.

Hey Bro I disagree. Let him get a couple A team tours. Jewel Andrew too. His time will come.

In reply to voiceofreason Boi, I like likkle AJ. Actually, all of those fellas from the recent WIU19.

How come the bigger island guys can jump from net practice straight in to west indies senior team ? What happened small island will continue to think small just because they are the smaller islands ? That's really low minded and bad . Sometimes you all keep yourself down and blame others , VOR am really disappointed in hearing that from you please don't let them brainwashed you ok .

Am also calling out browskin girl on this topic here to .

This is his first year performing for the Leewards, an A team opening position is what this youngster earned at this time.

In reply to cricketfreakHey Bro reason with me a little bit. England is a very tough tour for any batsman, worse yet an opening batsman who would have played only 7 FC matches by that time. We have a young opening batsman who has scored 549 runs, 45.75 ave in only 6 matches and we don't want to mess that up by destroying his confidence. Let him play some more FC cricket at A Team level then get ready for the South African series. What is the rush here?

Why are you not pushing for his Brother Jerimiah who is the leading pacer this season and whose bowling skillset is ideal for English conditions. He also plays league cricket there in England so is familiar with those conditions and he has played. Good allround skill too as he is good with bat and in the field.

Allyuh carryin on like if Louis is a Baje or something.

Dat does only happen with them

Bet yuh wickham make de squad. He doh have any more time than Louis but same people that insisting Louis need to wait and play A team cricket, advocating for wickham to tour

You like gossip, who are the bajan that said that K Wick should tour England.

I can understand why people say, so and so is too young...needs more experience etc...do not expose him too early...but...what if his form dips next season..? You would then discard him. He would think, well I made runs and they ignored me...what more can I do? No, better take the iron while it is hot and give him a chance.

And this England tour will be played later, with the first test not starting until mid-July. The wickets are harder and the weather is much better by then. Long gone are the chilly conditions of April and May. These factors should certainly help the West Indies test team later this year.

Not just gossip..very selective in his target

In reply to tc1

When I looked at the performances of Holder and Chase in the few regional matches played, it shows their experience, it is dumb to continue to go after Barbados cricketers.
I have come to believe that cricket is to Barbadians as T&F to Jamaicans, the BCA just has to get modern structures in place, to develop top International cricketers.

In reply to Baje

Mention any thing about a bajan and the musicman gone crazy.

In reply to openning

Bim seems to have a good youth program which will serve them well in the future.

It's nice to see excitement for the FC competition not just the CPL

Louis will get a few A team games for sure, England is rough and probably not the best place to blood new talent

But eyes are on him and the test captain got a good look at him in the last game

Exciting times

In reply to voiceofreason

Well tell me what is the reason of the regional tournament and preforming well ? Well if you think certain countries are hard to play in well don't do well and you will not be selected then . I thought you perform to do well to get a call up to play for west indies no matter against which team and no matter where in the world so VOR am sorry but i for one don't buy what you are selling .

In reply to cricketfreak

The primary objective of the regional tournament is to identify talent based on their performances. Once identified that talent would be selected to represent West Indies Senior, West Indies A teams and some may attend the academy. Don't rush Mikyle Bro this kid is special. Those innings vs Barbados were contrasting as in 1st innings was a gritty, attritional one where he fought his way back into form and then the 2nd innings he capitalised, and batted with more aggression. This youth is developing well, don't want to rush and spoil him.

Is this the last year for Powell and Hamilton?

In reply to openning

Name your squad to England please

In reply to openning

No. We still need their experience.

If mykyle louis scores heavilly in the next round you cant leave him out the conversation especially since the current incumbent and the other openers have done less to advance their cause
