By sending Jewel to do a man's job?

Why have an established batter sitting in the hutch and playing a debutant?

Dungheap cricket cannot be used to judge international standards!

Because he is a Certified CLAPPA . Who in their right mind select a youth with no experience to tour England .

I wonder if some here think he is the next Lara or tendulkar.

It’s not like this kid Dominated his age group or Domestic cricket .
If he wanted to play him it should’ve been against Ireland.

Jewel Andrew should be playing against S A. In the Caribbean.

I get both sides.

Jewel Andrew is a talent.

Is he better served playing against South Africa A in the Caribbean?

Or touring Ireland and England with the senior team, being in that environment, being mentored by senior players, practicing with the best in the region in those conditions, learning what it takes to be a pro, etc?

Both are beneficial and I have no problem with him being in either scenario.

Yall leave fat boy Hetty outta this.. he is a replacement player in the squad.

Jewel was a first choice pick so he deserves to play ahead of him.

Plus on a side note... Hetty seh he fed up getting blame, so its time the others tek some lol

Don't know the past won't learn in the present for the future. Why did Lloyd call up Winnie Davis from county cricket to replace an injured senior instead of debuting Young Cuddy Walsh? Why did Viv call up Clayton Lambert from league cricket instead of debuting Lara? Why did Lara take Clappa to Pomland but not play him? For us Blooding must stil bel a thing because we are a weak entity.

Probably after Sammy saw Hetmyer size, he decided Hetmyer was not fit for an ODI.

Potential talent needs exposure....Jewel has been to Sri Lanka...He is in this Ireland and England tour.... getting feeling of international cricket....playing against best...when Rutherford and Pooran returns, Jewel will find very difficult to get in the squad....CWI and management grooming him....

As far as Hety...The man, who missed the flight from Guyana to Australia, caught flight from India to England.....this fact itself speaks, that players are getting respect, which they very well deserved.....He will be in ODI in next match....surely in T-20....

Jewel should be playing in the SA-A series; youth is in his favor! No need to rush him!

The youth is where he should be. West Indies is always so late in investing in true talent. They got this one right. He will come good - very good.

Hetty batted too early. Should have been at 6 or 7 to voop.

Come on.. de dude got 5 ODI tons in his first two years at the international level. One of the fastest to 5 ODI tons.

If he couldn't bat how did he achieve that?

IPL is the reason for his downfall.. quick money got to his head.

Is Hetty's role as the finisher abandoned by Sammy?
