I would like to hear Curly Ambrose's take on Aljo today.
It is common knowledge Ambrose took him under his wings especially after the 2016 WC which was won by WI.
Years after Ambrose it seemed Ambrose was still his mentor.
Aljo may have lost his way and is trying too hard.... trying to make up quickly the lost years due to injury

He did share that story on commentary. He said that he was bowling in Trinidad in a regional game and was doing well when the UMP called him. He was selected for WI and met the same UMP at a Test Match in Jamaica I believe who asked him how he was doing and he answered I am still here as you can see or something of the sort.

That is what I recalled from his story.

If Aljo wanted he could opt to freelance on the T20 circuit. He just got a million for RCB so he has value.

Thanks for the information. Perhaps Aljo can take a page out of Ambi's book on how to overcome adversity.

Just a few quesions for you VOR.

1. How many games did he play last IPL?
2. How many Franchise rounds did he turn down to play for Windies?
3. How much he will get in this year's IPL auction?

You always defending Aljo and bringing stats.
Now bring some to answer these questions.

I am not saying that Aljo is not a good player,
I'm saying that he is a great disappointment.
Further, you need to stop defending him until he turns up.
All you doing is, making yourself look stupid with your stubborn defending of him.

Although know that you will cuss me now,
Let me go on record and say, I do not think that you are stupid,
Note I said, making yourself look stupid
I believe that you are blinded by bias.

I keep hearing people talk about Alzarri having anger issues and needing anger management. That's bull. How is walking off a cricket field a sign of needing ultra anger management. Isn't him walking off a sign of him choosing a way to control his anger rather than throwing the ball at the batsman, punching a glass or kicking over the wickets as some players have done before. What he demonstrated was indiscipline. Not anger issues. A more disciplined player would have handled it differently.
