Forget regional first class cricket - dungheap

just play A team tours instead to make final decision to pick any test team

In reply to allan
ironically most of these guys did not perform well in the fc tournament. Of the top four run getters this season, only one has played a test. i told you hope would not make after the two innings he played against tt which was also an all pace attack. chase as well struggled in that game. kraig, well....

the time after pakistan (multan victory was)

Louis
Kraigg
Carty/Jangoo - #3
Hodge
Athanaze

why was Jangoo, Hodge and Athanaze dropped for Hope, Chase, Anderson
Motie and Kevin Sinclair dropped for Chase and Warrican .

Jump high and jump low and it will make no difference. Change as much as you like it will make no difference. There is NOT ONE technically proficient batsman in the West Indies. Playing more will not solve this problem These are hard stone and hardheaded men. And none of them are prepared to do the hard work like Kohli did to completely change his diet and exercise programme which he kept to 366 days per year or Shiv who spent 8 hours in the hit sun, batting with his personally bought bowling machine. The cupboard is empty never to be restocked. Few in the Caribbean really care and we oldsters in the diaspora must stop clinging to the glorious past of our youth.

There is a lot, too much wrong with the Regional FC season and matches.
Will go in more details in due time. I hope.
But consider this one fact. When the Academy team or teams beat up on a
Regional team or one of the Big 6, it speaks volumes.

In reply to bobby

I could not say it any better. It's always the ones not in the starting eleven who are the better options. Like you said, there is not one proficient test batsman in the region. We can call for all of the flavor of the Month homeboys all we want, it will not change a thing.

In reply to allan

are you for real except for jangoo the rest of them are proven failures at test level and fc level to many insularists in here

In reply to bobby

the same guys made runs in Australia and a century in England (Hodge)

In reply to allan

Flash in the pan. On a good day anything can happen. I played first class cricket and rarely made runs. But every now and then the ball would just hit the middle of the bat. But that did not make me a batsman.

In reply to bobby

bobby you talking rubbish

is athanaze a flash in the pan
Hodge is a flash in the pan

Sure sign is USA under 19 beating regional under 19 teams. Ours days are very dark ahead.

how could you say that when the 4 top batsmen regionally never got a chance??

In reply to PalsofMine

the top regional batter ? Anderson
how did he do?

In reply to allan

Anderson was not at the top. Mohammed, Silva, Imlach and Hamilton were all ahead of him but none fell within Coach Sammy's plans for the series.

In reply to PalsofMine

he had the highest average after the rounds
Jos DaSilva and Imlach should have been both in the 11
