I had high hopes for him.
I think he should focus on his batting alone.
He’s very capable with the bat.

Halftime he’s talking about bowling when he won a match with his batting.

Don’t be your fathers Dominick and Tage, it has so far been your downfall.

By now his bowling should have improved and probably he is worried about this. Maybe he needs cricket playing activity at this level as was the case with Roach and Chemar...they need to play to get in form.

I think Johann Layne is superior bowling talent but exposure in this fomat might lead to a demoralising punishing attack....his strength is red ball and List A.

I was introduced to his dad at the Mecca, a game against T&T, he did not play, and some fans were questioning why.
The person who introduced me to his dad had no filter, raw Bajan, but he was my mentor.
The person said, ya know, nothing wrong with you, ya resting to get back to South Africa.
My mentor was the scorer for Barbados, Vasper said to me later, The Captain of his team in SA lost his contract by returning to the team out of shape and overweight, he cannot lose his contract.
Dominic runs from league to league. When is he working on his game?
Chemar's injury slowed his progress; we really cannot compare him to anyone.
Let's hope he can get strong and fit again.
tc1, a young fast bowler from Maple, learned he was replacing Vasbert the morning of the match, he vomited on the people field when given the ball to bowl.
All nerves.
