Congrats Blackwood, making 1st Century in this tournament

Congratulations on hitting the first century of the tournament. The player still has a higher test average than many who are currently playing for West Indies, despite been discarded. WI mantra seems to be discard Yardies as soon as they fail in a test, while others are allowed to play with protracted failures, hoping that they will make a big score soon. The double standard continues.

Big up to Blackwood!


What other players you speak of?

Jermaine Blackwood had 56 tests with ana average of 30.18. What other players have been afforded that kind of opportunity with that display of mediocrity?

That is one freeloader for nearly 100 tests are you suggesting we add another for 100?

Great.....many West indies batters were totally messed up by Monty Desai & Riefer......

Toby Radford..did commendable job....under him..Hope, Bonner, Blackwood all prospered.....So much so.....Bonner during particular series called up Rashford to rectify technical flaw and went on to score century...

Allyuh insist on keeping paint because allyuh say there’s no one better, yet hurry to discard Blackwood.

I would take Devon Smith over Paint any day

Blackwood deserves a place, and so too does Campbell

Man whst are you talking about? you would pjck a man who averages 20 something in tests only one century over a man who has 13 and who literally won you a match in england with hope.now both of them are not great but come on at least talk sence and find a better comparison

 
velo 2025-01-30 13:14:09 

If blackwood score runs dont see why he should not be in contention for a place.he still average more than many that toured pakistan

Agreed. Positions 2-6 are in play and everyone is in contention for those spots. An average of 30 now looks good for this WI batting line up

Average 30...
With 3 centuries...
Actually he played a pivotal role in that Hope- Brathwaite victory against England in 2016.....scored 50+ in chasing down target...hitting Anderson huge sixes....

He is a match winner.....needs proper batting coach....as almost all West Indies batters do......

Are you too suggesting we add another freeloader?

Dotties speak with fork tongue.

I have time for Greaves. I think he could hold his place in the team soon.

Conditions in Pak didn't help him or any batter for that matter.

His bowling is useful with some good performances at times - I expect

VOD just recently I was thinking that you have changed from your insular self with maturity but I might be wrong. Imagine you are considering to retain consistently failed players over a player with a much higher test average and looking like he could bowl a few too.
