Chase as WI Test captain 'odd'..Sir Clive Lloyd

In reply to natty_forever



Yes.... It is, he called for Hope on the Mason Show this past Tuesday. Ironically, it was already made public that Hope did not want the job..

Elsie thanks, though partially incorrect you've reminded me that Lloyd played vs. NZ '72, Oz and England '73. '72 he came in for injured Rowe.
'73 he did not play the full series vs. Oz. but made very good runs when he played. Because I remember him as an outstanding 12th man in the covers
at Sabina I forgot he did play in the series. Lloyd mentioned that when The Dashing Freddo made an unusually slow 160+ (Headingly?) '73 as the senior
player at the presser he informed them that WI is now playing to a different rhythm...no longer calypso but reggae.

And there you have it why Yaadies are failing. Trying to play calypso cricket when we built for Reggae!

In reply to natty_forever

Hahahaha. Reggae on brother

In reply to googley

The only team that plays "Reggae" has consistently ranked in the top 5 in the world.

In reply to Elsie



Lloyd said no to Chase because he’s been in and out of the side but is saying yes to Hope who is an abject failure in tests and who has been out of the side for years? Make that make sense.

If Jamaica had gone alone and taken cricket as seriously as track and field and football, we would have long surpassed WI in world rankings but since we are blamed for destroying Federation, we continue to link ourselves with one the last vestiges of colonialism, much to the embarrassment of many Jamaicans.

In reply to Slipfeeler

Jamaica takes football seriously?
Jamaican track and field is about coaches and managers investing in the sport, not administrators.

The greatest captain, but not the greatest comment. Who are the permanent players in that team to choose from besides the one who resigned, and Roach? Not even one of those on the short list have been permanent. Roach at 36 is on his way out, and a bit injury prone recently. So, ask the great Clive Lloyd, who is the permanent player he recommends?

Is Lloyd part of the decision making committee???
Why the obsession with a sound bite of one who is not part of the process???
