Anyway, I did predict that Campbell and King will be opening for WI, not because they wanted Yardies but opening against Australia is a career-ending position, both Braithwaite and Chanderpaul averaged under 8.0 runs during that tour. Many thought that I was just slipping. big grinbig grin


Campbell and King won't be opening......
Campbell
Brathwaite/ Louis
Carty
King/ Anderson...

As for McKenzie...Bro , he average @5, after 3 test..6 innings... before being dropped.... Going by your theory.... Remember My Name...Carlos....batted 6 innings, scored 3 fifties...@45. Vs Australia... Should have played all games against Aus

You do.know that 3 tests at 5 avg can be many things right?
Inadequate sample size
Inexperienced
Lack of Form
Bad Patch
Lack of Luck
Jus' nuh good enough
So, using that as a rationale makes you as disingenuous as the worst of dem all

You guys are still missing the point, West Indies is preparing to play Australia, just last year when WI played against them McKenzie topped the batting, while Braithwaite averaged 8.0, with all things been equal, which batsman is better capable of handling Australian bowlers? You guys are talking about irrelevant stats, let’s talk our opponents Australia. For we know in the past stats became irrelevant to you guys whenever the issue of Blackwood comes up, with his superior test average than many on the current test team. Hypocritically, now all of a sudden stats become relevant when we should assessing players based on their recent performances against Australia, that’s the only rational yard stick we have, anything else is irrelevant, including scores in dung heap cricket. Why is that so difficult to understand? Your belligerence cannot change the facts.

There can't be any questions regarding selection of Brathwaite.... it's absolutely wrong and biased.....but McKenzie......Bro I give it up!!!!

Blackwood.....left his natural attacking game.... became blocker.....that destroyed...he still has time....he no doubt won few with bat...is surely a talent....

Simple. Das why I don't get why Onionman believes I'm advocating for Kirk even when I indicated I'm not. Just saying use stats judiciously
