Why Was McKenzie Dropped?

In reply to natty_forever

Take a look at the batting average for the SA series and tell me if McKenzie doesn’t belong, thanks!

His would be far inferior to those.

majority on this board are very happy that there are no yardies on the WI team

ostracizing jamaica from Wi cricket with the consent of JCA

Does the JCA really get US10 to 12 millions from the CWI coffers?

I told allyuh McKenzie was a dude to keep. We have not had a batsman since Samuels who can consistently hit straight. And he has changed that trend.The dude has talent.

This shouldn't even warrant a conversation....Mckenzie was rightfully dropped after England series ....now with the benefit of hindsight ppl are saying he shouldn't have been dropped cause subsequently others have proved to be just as bad or worse in the series against SA is just nonsense ... an how is "talent" defined by a pretty 20 or 30 something?....i fed up hearing about talent i wanna see runs on the board i wanna see batsmen working hard an selling their wickets dearly an i dnt mind how ugly it looks it's called test cricket!!

and he wasnt even that pretty in England for his 1s and 5s and 11. He has talent but he is just not ready and keeping him in the test team when he is not ready is as harmful to him as it is to the entire team and those who may marginally more deserve a chance to play. There are no Grenadians, Vincentians, Lucians etc, Montserratians etc in the team and we do not get the complaint on their behalf from these posters. Things that make you go hmmmmmm!

The coach lost confidence in him

Let's organize a boycott to get some Justice for young Mckenzie who was unfairly dropped after shouldering our batting one series ago. DWL

mckenzie has one thing that many wi batsmen or recent vintage don't have...talent. kraigg brathwaite does not have talent and has been given an inexplicably long rope as a batsman and a captain. if kb reaches 100 tests, he will probably be the worst batsman in terms of average to achieve the mark. secondly, mckenzie went to play in england, where many, many players struggle. kohli, after the pomp and pagentry of his australia success, was embarrassed by james anderson in his first proper visit there in 2014. In 2014, Kohli registered scores of 1, 8, 25, 0, 39, 28, 0, 7, 6, and 20 in five Tests at an average of 13.50 in 10 innings. i did not see india drop him

The guy was the most successful WI batsman in Australia, second most for either team, went to England and struggled, came back and not even warrant a try in the warmup match of SA tour?

I would say that is clear sign of confused management.

McKenzie avg 5.00 against England, he recorded 1 fifty during the domestic season, imagine him facing KG on these even tracks.

Let him work on his game and come back a better player.

You watched him bat or you going off stats?

Is it a trend Yaadies do well early in their careers in Ozland, then shyt after?

Wow...what a terrible comparison you cant be serious!!!...surely i dnt need to tell you that when ur a great player goin thru a lean spell ur given a lot more leeway (an so yuh should!!) than an unproven rookie who's only claim to fame is having "talent" (yes that much over used word again!!)....i suggest you go an check how many 100's Kohli had under his belt prior to the lean spell yuh dig out ...as they say form is temporary class is permanent.....at this point yuh bai Mac has neither!!!
