For the 2nd consecutive test series against Australia, a Yardie tops the batting average, although King’s 21.5 average is a far cry from Kirk McKenzie’s 34.5 average.

All top order batters failed in the last series on both sides. I think it could only get better moving forward for the WI.

yeah of course.,..because sammy at the helm ent....h gorm allyuh...have an ounce of shame

This exercise of futility is to demonstrate by use of stats my consistent argument even before a ball was bowled in this series that the selectors made a huge mistake by not selecting Kirk McKenzie for this series against Australia. In fact, the error is significant, considering that just a few months ago Kirk McKenzie topped the batting average against one of the most lethal bowling attack in the world with 34.5 average. The stats here demonstrated that no West Indies batsmen in this series even came close to his average, while folks are using dungheap cricket scores to disqualify the youth, when it’s very clear to everyone that their dungheap bullies are unable to buy a run against Australia, then folks wondering WI is playing so poorly, frankly insularity and bad mind has ruined West Indies cricket. They rather select inexperienced and immature young players and destroy their careers and psychological motivation than select a youth who had already proven that he is capable of dominating the Australian bowlers. Travesty of selection incompetence.

This the stats that the many insular fans will be hiding from because it demonstrates their favourite batsmen are piss poor, despite the insular favouritism handed to them.

I really admire Shamar Joseph’s batting ability, he certainly outperformed and put many WI batsmen to shame, he is quite a cricketer.

In reply to Slipfeeler

Yeah, 21.5 at the top is shamefully very impressive in your part of the world.

I wish all of our top 6 batsmen had averaged 21.5, then we would guarantee a score of at least 120 every time at bat ...

in reply to Kay


bro i am assuming you were in a hurry but the math aint mathing

if all our batsmen avg 21.5 we would score how much?

In reply to Slipfeeler

Few months ago? It was 19 months back and Kirk has done nothing since then

Stop trying to spin facts

De man did say all of de top six

In reply to ponderiver

Man either you are deliberately missing the point or too blinded by insularity to see the plain truth in front of you, if King topped the batting average with a mere 21.5, what is the average of your favourite player given the tremendous amount of investment from CWI into his career? Thus is King’s first real series, obviously it’s nothing in comparison to Kirk McKenzie’s 34.5 average against Australia in the previous series but we have nothing else to rely on but the reality of the stats. The point is that they are all piss poor, so why use insularity to include some and exclude others? If Kirk was from B’dos, he would have been playing, case in point, Braithwaite averaged about 5 runs for the entire previous series against Australia, yet he made the team, while they couldn’t find a position for player who topped the average against the same team. Yet you guys refusing to see my point or the stupidity of CWI selectors. Just look at Warrican stats of 0.75, are you guys so insular and brain dead, that you would prefer a player with less than one run average for the entire series over another player who has already proven himself with 34.5? In that case we deserve to be where we are in cricket.

In reply to Slipfeeler

Wasn't it Sinclair who topped the averages in Australia?

In reply to Kay

Dude gets more tribal with each passing day with his yardie rants. Imagine celebrating a 21 batting average as though it is a great accomplishment. We have now reached an alltime low.

In reply to NYCGURU

No one is celebrating 21.0, on the contrary I am very disappointed in all WI batsmen, again you are either deliberately missing the point or too blinded by insularity to see my point.

In reply to Maispwi

No he did not, I could post those stats again for your information.

Ah still waiting, but let me help u

In reply to Slipfeeler

Doh change it to agregate runs now, you spoke of averages.

In reply to Slipfeeler

At least you are frank with your Yardie insularity unlike Joe the Wino, Nutty Budhead etc.

Hate to break it to you but Kirk would not have made a difference. Btw he was dropped after OZ.

If the great Steve Smith struggled then it is fair to say that all batsmen would have struggled.

In reply to voiceofreason

Check the stats again and compare it to the stats of the just completed test series, no batsman even came close to his stats and he competed well against Australian batsmen, I know it’s hard to swallow but that’s just the facts

In reply to Kay

Then why are you guys ignoring this stats, I guess it does not correlate with your highly touted batsmen.

In reply to Maispwi

Wtf, Kirk didn’t even top the stats,m

In reply to brians_da_best

Kirk averaged 34.5 while Sinclair average was 32.0, di the maths. If any case, why was Sinclair not reselected but failures like Braithwaite and Warrican selected.
