My Bonner went over the mountain...My Bonner went over the sea...My Bonner went over the ocean ...Oh bring back my bonner to me... Bring back...Bring back...

Allegedly: Bonner left Jamaica to play "Curry-Goat" Cricket in America,

after he had been asked to remain in Jamaica.

This situation led to his exclusion from the 50 overs Squad ...

I am not certain if this action is related to that breakdown in communication.

It appears to be OVER.

Hope this Redwood better than Blackwood .....

Redwood is an 18-year-old leg spinner.

Mansingh was a good man (but he doesn't get wickets regularly).

He does bat a bit but does not score centuries.

Jamaica needs an attacking spinner in order to limit the runs we must chase.

Jamaica has Marquino Mindley as a fast bowler.

We need at least one more threatening fast bowler.

One of the contenders is FAST & FOOLISH ...

And the other one, Gordon Bryan, is coming back off injury.

In reply to Kay

If the fast and foolish bowler could bowl a steady fourth-stump line ...

with a few inswingers ... a few outswingers ... and an occasional straight ball, he would be a WI candidate ...

But once the fast ... all they do is bowl SHORT - fih try fih lick-down batsman. He reminds me of Leverage.

Mih nuh feel say him head too good doh.

I cannot understand how any cricketer could WASTE such a WONDERFUL talent.

Jamaica is the land of Woods and water.

Yuh talking about some simple instructions,surely O'Shane Thomas could understand those simple words,don't anyone of interest talk to the fella,we are wasting a great potential.I still hope that he comes good.

So, was Shields selected? He seems to be an economical consistent bowler, Mansingh seems to be an average player, his batting and bowling looks ordinary. Hopefully, young Johnson shows what he learned from the India coaching sessions he just returned from.

Let me guess.. they didn't select Jordan Johnson once again... don't know why Jamaica retained him. They should have allowed the youth to go to the WI Academy

Thomas is very valuable asset....went astray.... overweight,unfit....and most unfortunately... Unguided...

His run-up....leap near bowling crease...rare...
He is real match winner....just needs proper overall makeover.... technical and physical...

CWI and Jamaica set up.... as usual.... failed in its basic function...

In reply to Onionman0

Oshane lacks discipline and will-power, he has been around long enough to know what he has to do to be an effective player. That incident last week in which 15 runs was score off of one legal ball says a lot about Oshane, he is a slow thinker.

In reply to dayne

Most express fast bowlers barring few like Marshall , Imran are slow thinkers or no thinkers at all........
Patrick Patterson was one big no thinker...but was guided by Marshall....

With CWI mulling Roach as mentor....hope, he can be good help for young fast bowlers

Layne
Isai & few others..

What's the team? Any new faces? Link please.

In reply to Yadi

I touted Mansingh as best I could to get him over the line for he looked promising when he just started but has not lived up to my expectations. He is young I hope that he can wheel and come again!!

Johnson is expected in the 4-day squad.
