Tage and Athanaze selected but what about McKenzie?

Thu, Oct 2, '25 at 9:21 AM
How comes Tage and Athanaze can get selected after their poor performances and failures but Kirk McKenzie who shouldered the batting against the best test team in the world cannot get back after his failures? Another example of CWI failing young players.

Will Kirk even make JA first class team???

Slips is faithful to his position that McKenzie deserves to play for WI. Unfortunately, I dont even think that McKenzie supports his position

Not batting for anyone but you realize yuh using skewed stats?;3 matches vs almost full season on the assumption that but for injury batsman B's season would have continued on par or better. Neither should be there

Bredren give it a rest!

You are now challenging VOR for lack of credibility. Kirk McKenzie has no one to blame for not grasping his opportunity when he got it.

I am sure if you spoke to his father Kurk "Jelly" McKenzie, Sr, he would tell you that young Kirk's performance was less than inspiring and he was rightly dropped from the West Indies team.

You sure Jelly is not slippy?
