I am convinced the Jamaican Selectors have no clue..

Jordan Johnson toured Sri Lanka with WI U19..
149 in youth test.. scored a 100 in the youth ODI

He came through the youth ranks from U 15..
but he cant make a weak Jamaican team.

Picking a guy because of his age makes absolutely no sense, have you checked his scores in the matches he played the last few years?

If he is that talented his scores should show us.

He is not even at the Academy, that should tell you where he is in the order.

I suggest they replace O-bean with O-shame. One O for the Other. Oh what a brilliant suggestion!

Who said he should be picked because of his age?

I pointed out performances at the lower level, that clearly indicate we have something to work with; coupled with the weak Jamaican line up

You say that Oh pening ( to keep VORs joke going)

but he was available and he has not done badly...

I dont agree with the Permanent Molds some fans and sadly some selectors use across the board for every player.

Oh boy look what you started. It is my honest Opinion that Jamaica made an obvious blunder in omitting Oshame from their ordinary bowling lineup.

Is there a better player in Jamaica to take Odean 's place? If no, Odean should play, he made a fifty in the match, he still has something to bring

Sometimes you see a player and you know he/she got something to offer in a big way,Odean Smith is one,we seen players like that before,they suddenly hit all the right notes,Jamaica should pick him in all formats because he is capable.Is there a better fast bowler with his batting capabilities,tell us I would like to know.I liked him from the first time I saw him and Ihope he comes good soon.

The new Everton Weekes has scored 4 centuries at age 21 . You will not find any WI batsman with these stats.
You could continue with your sarcasm on the youngster.
