Yes let’s get rid of Pooran, I’ll sing to that.

Who needs him when we have Charles and Chase.

This is the team that humble Buttler’s England only last October, right?

Make it make sense...

Player A - almost 34.

Matches - 59
Batting avg. - 25.75
Bowling avg. 47.80

Player B - turned 30 the other day.

Matches- 29
Batting avg. 26.90
Bowling - 30.88

Why is player A worth persisting with but player B needs to be out the team completely?

Brandon King in his last 10 ODIs scored a ton and 2 fifties.

Evin Lewis in his last 10 ODIs scored 1 ton and a 50.

Yet one is considered a 'keeper' and the other needs to be replaced completely.

Make it make sense...

We’ve seen Andrew twice in International cricket. He hasn’t done anything.

So he should be persisted with because AlJo says he’s the best batter in the Caribbean and Sammy likes him?

But forget that….Jewel is a talent even though he’s being force riped.

But why the hate for King and Motie?

That’s the VOR theory based entirely on insularity, discard one not based on runs but on off-field basis. Motie should be a top order batsman, he has the runs to prove it but VOR must be the only one in the entire region who would consider dropping Motie, just because the guy is not from his Dottie region, this is very low, even for VOR.

Atupes.
Sounds to you like Pooran want to play for WI?
Ah u got these man starting to feel like they bigger than the team. Pooran just doing what Gayle ans Bravo before him do. Put WI Cricket on back burner till they were ready. And others as well but Pooran no really wanna ply for Wai so he should be leftist the equation.

Yes or no please!!! Prior to Hilaire's appointment as CWI CEO did Gayle or Bravo ever missed a game for WI unless injured or having a family emergency?

"If a man sics a dog on you and you don't shoot that dog then you're irresponsible"
Malcolm X paraphrased.
Hilaire tried to drastically reduce men's earning capabilities so they refused contracts and did their thing. While WI was trying to restrict players from franchised other boards were negotiating compromises.
