Well Sherfane lost his father (to Covid) and mother (just before the t20 WC) in the past two years... he's doing decent.

Odean around for a long time and yet you can't see any improvement.

He’s lost quite a bit of pace with his bowling. I remember him being able to bowl 90mph deliveries a couple of years ago.

Then you have his abysmal fielding and batting.

Just not a thinking cricketer.

Pollard was trying to bully him into a management deal allegedly…….odean is rubbish. That’s why his career is where it is. Pollard was right to have him warming those benches. He clearly ain’t good at cricket

Few seasons back....Oshane Thomas bust into scene...express...wicket- taker..good international career.....Faded.....

Odean....few seasons back.... bowling above 140 km....batting.... clubbing sixes...even has good , short international ODI career....Fading....

Fading is infectious.....CWI contagious....stay away...stay safe....

Most players....stay away ...ply trade world wide.... with very limited.... interaction with CWI....

I feel very sad when I see Odean on the field. something is not right with him and I hope that he is getting help to sort it out. He is still a very young man

oshane's career was destroyed by cwi incompetence and neglect. im not saying he didn't put on weight(which he worked very hard on) but there wasn't the sort of attention given to him that someone of that talent deserved.

That is how i remember him when he burst onto the scene,I thought ,we now have a genuine allrounder for the test team.All I have to ask is why has he lost that ability,I would love to see him back to his old self.

Not sure why Sliippery fella and his crew keep slipping these outcasts our way but we will have to talk. Jerimiah Louis can do no worse than Odean Brown.

you can see the logic that Odean and Romario are both expected to play the Dre Russ role. However, Odean has fallen so far behind that you have to fear whether he can ever come back.

Why Jeremiah Louis any stats to back up your argument?

I'm no fan of Odean but he was an U19 WC winner, moved through the ranks for Jamaica capable of bowling over 90mph & hitting the ball a long way and won the CPL in 2023 obviously he's out of sorts now but I'm just curious what Jeremiah brings to the table!!!

A Dottie passport.

I just cannot understand the arguments for J. Louis in any form for Windies.

Similar to when McKenzie scored a double and people had orgasms.


Leave Smith alone.
We do not know what is his mental state or anything.
This guy will bounce back.

Odean's omission from yesterday's starting XI resulted in a win for his team.

All's good.

Insularity at it's best......

How a player like Mohsin gets chance to play in CPL......ahead of West Indies player......

As for Odean......be assured the young man is in tangle..... surely bounce back in later matches...meet you then......
