ICC World Cricket Championship game
Or any other t20 star ( Dre, Hety )
It’s the ultimate game and test of character

All of them know they don't have the skill to play at that level.

I doubt that
Hety and Poo were some of the best under 19 players in the world
They had great talent

Even if they may have had the talent back then, they don't have the skill now to play at this the very highest level.

PooPoo couldn't even perform in international lickit and you think he could perform in this type of Test Match?

Give me a break.

Hety won us an u19 championship
Poo was at the top of those youngsters
Don’t see how they could be Markham or Stubbs or Bavuma

I recall Tony Powell beat Shane Warne in u19 and dominate him

It's more temperament than skill. To get Test match temperament, you have to play 4day cricket not t20.

Good point on temperament.

But even if they had the proper temperament, at present they play so much junk cricket that it's compromised their techniques to play at this level.

Dre Russ could also have been one of the WI top allrounders. A Flintoff or Stokes of his time but it just was not to be. We accept, regret and move on.

All pooran fid for WI cricket, is catapult them to the bottom of ICC ranking, as captain.wI made him. Current players, JC and Dre, took WI to the top twice, We should be thankful for their service.
