There is absolutely no cricketing logic, or validation to explain why Rovman Powell is on the team, when you have a competent up and coming bowler/ batsman, like, the skillful, Mathew forde, sitting on the bench. Make it make sense.
There is also a young talented batsman, name Jewel, also sitting on the bench.
Motie has regressed significantly, he lacks the cricketing Iq, to adjust his bowling, to suit, the game, and playing conditions. Sammy we beg of you, to pease, “Right, the wrong”.
For the sake of West Indies cricket and the fans.

In the meantime, the absurdity of the tail wagging the dog continues.

I just saw a graphic saying that Powell is 2nd to Pooran on the list of most runs scored for West Indies in T20Is.

He has now pushed the Legend Chris Gayle into 3rd place.

I did mention your meds, didn't I?

I happen to like Rovman as he is a good leader to have around the locker room. Admittedly his scores in his last 10 T20IS have not been good so hopefully we can see him improve:

60, 6 ,2 , 13, 34 79*, 2 ,1 12, 9, 28.

Finally figured out this Edrich.

He's no Dottie like some of us suspected (/opined), but a Yardie trying to get Rovman kicked off the team so that he wouldn't have the chance to displace the UB as the 2nd highest T20I runs scorer for the West Indies.

Sorry Edrich, you'll just have to live with reality.

Chris Gayle's record broken! Rovman Powell becomes West Indies' second-highest T20I run-getter

Dem Yardies don't seem to be governed by the same set of rules that dictate absolute support for their countrymen.

I'll agree that they should emulate the Dotties in this context.

I hope this is tongue firmly in cheek. Just last week the slippery one was busy posting stats hailing his countryman leading the averages in the just concluded test series with a 21 average. You are excused if you missed that gem.

You appear to be mixing apples and oranges here, so to speak.

Slippy hailed up his countryman for being the best even it's with a 21 average. The Dotties on the other hand remain unphased by the fact that their Dear Leader $ammy, as West Indies Head Coach, just led his charges to the second lowest test inning score on record, 27.

And that's even without considering that the Dear Leader has just been swept (/white-washed) 0-2 in the test series, and is now on the brink of a 0-5 sweep (/white wash) in T20I. All this while playing at home.

Yes, the Dotties stand behind their Dear Leader even if it means the end of the West Indies as a cricket playing entity.

Yuh too effing gullible letting Drapsey ketch yuh yuh with even rotten cornlol Edrich love the logic of a part-time slow-bowling cappo and a sla deputy in a squad with 4 avg to good quicks in a series where pitches favor quicks. Did I mention that VC took no wkts, no catches, scored only 3 runs in 4 innings and was dropped for one of the tests?
