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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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..

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!!

I am surprise to see OShields as a reserve. No Johnson? Just stupid to keep Johson out.

Everybody is back from India a while now... based on the Jamaica cricket tik tok page, Johnson scored 49 in one of the trial matches.

I knew they wouldn't pick him.. which is why I was saying that they should have allowed him to join the WI Academy.

Since he is contracted by Jamaica I don't think he could turn out for another team.. when he represented CCC in the super50 he wasn't a Jamaica contracted player.

Why there is no updates about selection and non selection of players by the teams....

Poor.....CWI should make it mandatory for teams to announce squad and updates...

Yad. Does the suspension of John Campbell extend with the regional 4 day competition? Any clarity of this situation?
