Sampson..raw talent.. powerful...Gayle- like...

Auguste.... Very talented...just came back from Chennai spin training camp...

Gaston.... although not that successful........has great wrist.. .like Indian Sreesanth and Pak Asif..can swing , add on some pace, can be lethal..

Any Others???

What makes Bidiasee the best find?

Subjective

Don't see the hype behind this Gaston fella...

Simmonds and Edwards look far better in this tournament. When I checked the stats for Gaston its similar to Oshane Thomas, so how de rass is he amongst the best finds for the tournament?

In my opinion, the best find of this tournament is Akeem Auguste.

In reply to anthonyp

Me neither...Simmons look good IMO

Simmonds not West Indian?

In reply to anthonyp

I can understand you argument. You went based on hid stats in thid his inaugural CPL. But he is a fine/skilled young talent.

Bookmark. As time passes you may well have a different opinion

Simmonds looks like the leftarm seamer were looking for.

Ackeem Auguste I am well acquainted with his skills and talent and won't be surprised if he turns out to be a top WI batter. The find of the tournament

In reply to Onionman0

In all honesty none of the other Leggies have been given a fair try and same goes for the left arm pacers.

Ackeem Auguste
Ramon Simmons

These two players have exhibited consistency and skill.

Sampson had one good inning, want to see more.

In reply to voiceofreason

Sampson has good hands and a good ball striker.

Since he is plucked put from tape ball cricket I want to see more of him against different types of bowlers and conditions to decide

Example, can he play genuine pace or on more tricky surfaces?

The key will be who goes to Nepal let’s see where Sammy is thinking!!!

Just got out to a bouncer from Rutherford. I am not convinced about his onside play. He will be tested going forward.

True ..

But Bidiasee...as all rounder...bat middle order...bowl leggie ..rare in international cricket...

In reply to InHindsight

People need to relax with this whole plucked out of tape ball nonsense.

Sampson playing hard ball cricket in Guyana years now. Before this CPL he even made his debut for Guyana in the super50.

He represented Essequibo at the senior inter-county level for the past 5+ years. Plays first division cricket for Police in G/town where he scored a number of tons.

He's not an unknown.

Auguste is already in CWI investment list..... Academy, training in Chennai.....

Bidiasee played just one match for T&T....did commendable job....then in cpl...hardly anyone expect him to notch up nearly 150 runs and 7 wickets... that's why he's best find..
Similarly,Sampson.... nobody put money on him before cpl....now he blasted himself into CWI list..

Gaston.. can't argue about him...but I like his wrist position,seam...need to add some pace... tremendous potential....
