He bowled some good spells in the Emerging league. Let's see if he could offer anything at the international level.

He will also add something different to the bowling attack... don't think he will do worse than the usual runs trucks.

Nice name for a cricketer. The word 'Blades' sounds so attacking.

Hope he makes out better than his namesake Colin Blades the Bajan who showed lots of promise in the 70s but was never able to break into international cricket.

He never played a T20 for WI.

Since his ODI debut he looks like he gained a bit of pace and is doing something with the ball... well at least he was in the Emerging league.

Definitely worth a try... as I said he won't do worse than the usual runs trucks.

De man could surprise us with a match winning spell and Sammy supporters will be out praising the genius move by their dear leader lol

Guess we’ll see.

What I saw of him in his WI appearance…….nothing to write home about.

But it was his debut. May have been nervous.
