In reply to openning

Are you asking for a rematch?
I can make some phone calls.

In reply to Raskil

LOL!

Ease up on my brother openning please

In reply to imusic

Fella resorted to name dropping

The West Indies skipper…
Spreading fear.

Sorry I’m making a mountain out of the Barbados team.
Apologies once again.

In reply to Raskil

Here is Guyana squad for the second round.... yuh think they stand a chance with the greatest opener in WI history is in the Bim squad?

Imlach, Sinclair and Shamar in...

In reply to Raskil

The Caribbean champion never asks for a rematch.
We win more than we lose.

We have won 11 more titles than Guyana.

In reply to anthonyp

The next game is a soft target. Is anyone brave enough to drop Tage, shift the order to bring in Junior Sinclair into the setup?

In reply to imusic

How can any West Indian not respect Barbados cricket.
23 win and I tie
If we were as cocky as the Dallas Cowboys fans, we would call ourselves the Caribbean Regional Champions.

In reply to openning

Hard luck for Chemar Holder.....bowled with pace but...

Thank you Reifer....

Great Brathwaite back.....love to see him bat at 3 or 4 and control the inning...

For me...Jhamar and Shaquille sits...
Forde
McAllister
Raymond
Javed
Warrican

good and potent....

Whether Jason Holder plays regional after S.A. 20....waiting for it....Holder has good 4 years red ball left..

In reply to anthonyp

Very strong team...bowling wise...
Batting is weak...
If Tage goes early, collapse waiting....

In reply to Onionman0

Chemar injury is the reason for him not playing every match.
I check Raymond Reifer stats today, the guy scored one ton in 101 FC games, can you believe someone had the balls, to bat him at #3?

In reply to openning

Absolutely....

Reifer prospered as effective player playing at 6-7 for Guyana.....his performance got him selected for West Indies.... subject to correction.....it was in test cricket, he was promoted to bat at no.3. ....... madness at its peak...failed....but same tactics by Barbados management......

As for Reifer, he is hard working, whole hearted player...tried to grab, whatever opportunities he got..at 3 or else....but with Greaves, Holder and few others....his maroon days are over....

In reply to Onionman0

Here's the correction.

Reifer never made Windies team while representing Mudland.
Although I will argue that his best days were while playing for Mudland,
the Selectors overlooked him then.

He returned to Bim and batted at #3 for Bim, scoring runs.
That's when he made Windies team and failed miserably.

Please stop mentioning his name.

He is dunnn and rightfully so.

In reply to TanteMerle

Reifer had outstanding year 2016-17....guyana....36 wickets @21 & 445 runs @ 37.... Selected for England tour 2016.... did debut but made debit against N.Z. 2017... He played continued with Guyana till season 2019-20.... Since, Holder was captain & playing as all rounder...Reifer was didn't get much chance....



Thanks.....I stand corrected.....after returning to Bim....2021-22.......he for first time batted in few innings at no.3 & scored runs & against Bangladesh he batted at 3... Sheer madness...

The Guyanese Selectors will have an interesting choice to make, will they select both Sinclair and Looknauth for the match, also, what is Junior Sinclair specialty, the last match he did not bowl.

In reply to dayne

Junior Sinclair did not play in the last match so how will he bat or bowl?

Kevin and Looknauth will play in the same XI.

The only concern is Nial Smith with a toe injury. If they choose not to risk him, Lovell will make his debut.

These will be the changes

Imlach in for Nandu (Tage and Perez will open)
Shamar for Thorne
Sinclair for Adams
Lovell for Smith (if he doesn't recover)

In reply to anthonyp

Interesting....

Tage & Nandu did well...
Perez scored 70...

Very tough decisions to be made..

In reply to Onionman0

that was tongue in cheek, right? With Anderson, Imlach, Savory and Sinclair, Guyana have a very solid middle order. That said, a re-match between Bim and Guy would be enjoyable.

In reply to Onionman0

In Perez last three innings at the FC level he scored two 50s and a 40+.

Perform of be dropped... Nandu numbers aren't that good. So unfortunately he will have to sit this one out.

In reply to PalsofMine

The Guyana middle order ...all stroke makers....In the match against Bim...Tage & Nandu blunted the new ball...with Perez...top three batted nearly 50 overs...making it much easier for stroke makers....

It would be interesting to see, how Guyana handles, if top orders get out early.......

In reply to Onionman0

Dude there's more than enough batting in the Guyana lineup.

This will most likely be the XI

1. Tage
2. Perez
3. Imlach
4. Anderson
5. Savory
6. Kevin
7. Looknauth
8. AliMohammed
9. Lovell
10. Permaul
11. Shamar

From 7 to 11 are more than capable with the bat... young Lovell is a good all-rounder in the making. Similar to guys like Keemo and Shepy.

In reply to openning

But wasnt his one ton when he batted at 3 or fairly high up the order?

In reply to openning

I hope you are right about managing Chemar's workload because it would be short sighted to drop him dor perfor.ance. Stats aside he was one of the better bowlers and beat or took the edge frequently. He is a much better option than MacAllister. Glad to see Simmonds may get a chance though. He needs to play before he loses interest

In reply to Logic

The same happened last year, I am only assuming that is the reason.

In reply to anthonyp

in which world Tage plays in front of Nandu, Tage needs to be drop from this team it will be a much better squad

In reply to openning

Unstoppable
