...Sammy thinks so.

In reply to natty_forever

Calling Marlon Samuels
He is probably our best technical batter

In reply to allan

What would make you think Marlon or anyone without coaching experience will make a good coach?

Reifer has been the HC with CCC for a decade, he is also part of Sammy's coaches in the CPL, they is a history with the two guys.

In reply to openning



the curent batting quality is of Reifesque mediocrity

In reply to allan

But can he transfer knowledge?

In reply to openning

Still don't mean he any good.

Eat a food Boi, eat a food! Expertise and results "irregardless" Doan matter if one reason We might have lost 2019 WC was because you conspired with Holder to pick Nurse and not Marlon! And it is the same mentality that has Opening trying to justify " unjustifiables" How many CCC FC/List A players have gone on to have stellar international careers?

sammy right hand man. i knew he was coming

In reply to Narper


clearly you don't watch cricket.........floyd couldn't make runs against that first class team from bangladesh.......the current lot have made runs against the best pace attack in the world on a rubbish wicket under lights. shamar would not have had the opportunity to make his mark at brisbane if da silva, hodge and sinclair(on debut) did not score half centuries. i don't even think reifer could last ten balls against starc or cummins at the ARG

In reply to natty_forever

Not comparing Marlon to Gary Sobers or Brian Lara
But i would rather a great batter or talented batter be my coach than Pretty Boy Reifer

In reply to openning

Ask Brian or Gary Sobers the same question. You dont need a certificate to show someone how to bat

What about Rayon Griffith?

De man got that assistant coache wuk for life?

At this point ah don't think WI cricket could survive without Reifer and Griffith... that explains why they keep retaining dem

In reply to Jumpstart

Reifer has a FC of 31 wid 13 x100s and 41x50s


What are their career averages?????....that is what counts....not a good innings here and there every 10 innings

In reply to Narper


better than floyd's i can guarantee you


shows how poor our fc tournament was then......while floyd was battering the colin stuarts, nagamootoos and kerry benjamin's of this region, the best players were in county cricket....walsh was with Gloucestershire until 98, bishop had retired and while ambrose had ended his relationship with Northants by then, i would be shocked if he allowed floyd to score a half century against him. What on earth possessed the WI to allow this dude to play in that 98 sa series against those bowlers. even by the low standards of the post 2009 west indian batsman, floyd was atrocious.........talentless and talentless batsmen should then focus on a sound technique instead of looking pretty. floyd had the reflexes of a dead cow and compounded by batting like he was sitting on a toilet

In reply to openning

Floyd Reifer has been WI batting coach for ODI and test formats plus the teams you mentioned.

he’s responsible for the batsmen on the test and OdI teams for the past 5 years or so.

What an endorsement

In reply to imusic

Yeah, remember your comments on Young Jacob Bethell?

In reply to allan

Just saying they most times do not go together. Shiv has coaching certification...would have enjoyed a better analogy.

In reply to tc1

You have to resort to claimin a Englishman in a desperate attempt to have some kind of cricketing relevance

SMH

In reply to tc1

When Jacob, Jofra and Chris Jordan and Salt fail music man and jumpstart yell they are Bajan. When they succeed the two most honest tits in the world label them Englishmen. You cant win against tit rascals.

Nearly half the English team was Bajan in recent times. KYS to imusic
