King always looks good for a half century and finds a way to give it away. Stop it!

I can’t remember the last time I saw him in whites.
It’s the ‘lickit’ mentality that stifled what could’ve been a decent test opener.

Several injuries over the last two years.

He also missed red ball competition because of Windies tours.

He’s approaching 30yo
He has to make everything count going forward.
WI cricket is still in the hunt for a red ball opener.

He and Hope so pleasing on the eye!

Most of us cuss Windies, but...

Critical injuries over the years.
Bad or no governance by the board
Bad tournaments planning over the years.
Extremely poor choices of captains and retention of them.
Not taking care of welfare of injured players.

Just a whole smorgasbord of silliness hampering Windies.

Imagine the best 15 in a test squad.
Windies would climb the rankings.

Shai did his best work for Guyana
Odean did…
The list goes on

Remember when AlJo was injured in India?
Could’ve been career ending.
They fixed him and he’s been playing all formats.
Nobody talks about these things.

King opens for Jamaica in R4D? You think opening in Test is the same as T20I? Send help.

King is a middle order batsman who scored a century opening in a franchise T20 match as a certain former President would say "one day he just turned into an opener". I would love to see King in whites but he will be challenging Athas or Hodge for that middle order place if he reaches international level in red ball cricket.

Shai did his best work for Guyana


Be careful with half-truths.

It may be partly correct to state 'Shai did his best work for Guyana' in T20;
However, he started to develop as a T20 player in the BPL about 3 years ago.
He made West indies team n T20 before lat year's CPL for Mudland.

It is more accurate to say that Shai had his best CPL season last year playing for Mudland,
where he denonstrated leadership.
I said all last year that he was the captain, more than Tahir.

Tahir not even listd as Cappo

Even misinfo.com knows that Hope is de real cappo.

lol lol lol

BTW: I am a Mudland follower, in case you don't know.
