Is he retiring at 32 or can he work at his game an return??....seems to me at this point we can completely ill afford to discard a man with 12 test 100's not to mention having the best test ave ....yes he's had a bad run but he's patently better than some of the alternatives....some will see it as a backward but we are going nowhere an hence for the time being have to scrape the barrel until these youngsters step up an prove worthy of the maroon cap!

no doubt he had poor series an he's had a poor run ....the difference is he's been successful at the highest level some of the alternatives never have an never will ...you dnt score 12 test 100's by being completely useless....how about dropping him down the order an see how he goes in the hope he can recapture some kind of form!

what standards do Windies possess right now....apart from an outstanding pace attack that will not last long due to being overbowled cause our batsmen are not doing their job an allowing dem to catch their breath!!!

So since you are calling for Brathwaite, why stop there? Continue the stupidity by calling for Blackwood and Bonner and Devon Smith.

What have Barbadian cricketers done to you?
This is a personal vendetta, unrelated to the current group of players.

About 25 years ago, a friend who had just returned to South Africa from Barbados as manager of a junior South Africa team told me that the standard of youth cricket and school cricket in Barbados was disappointingly low and that a decline in West Indies cricket would inevitably follow.

what did bajan cricketers do Dr Rudi Webster...quoted above

I do feel a bit sorry for Kraigg as I think Sammy wanted him to play in a more aggressive style which is just not him.
He ended up not really knowing what his role was as previously it would have been just to see our the new ball.
