HOPE IT WORKS OUT FOR HIM

Hopefully you’re not doomed to repeat the past. Like when Darren Bravo declined selection to the WI t20 World Cup team to “focus on red ball cricket” and got fucked.

Maybe this CWI leopard will change its spots

Once he stays away from Pollard, Bravo, Pooran and the Trini mercenaries he will be fine.


Love this Kid.

Can he not develop his red ball skills and, as he grows, add the white ball skills to his repertoire?


Our young players are chasing after white ball money without understanding the fundamentals of the game. Young Jewel should be preparing for the U19 championship, yet we see him opening against Nepal.

T20 cricket requires a different practice approach compared to Test or ODI cricket due to the limited number of overs..

He had a stellar FC and A team career/experience before playing international cricket. That's the facilitation needed. Physical structure facility without commitment and funds doan mean squat.

Most ofYour’ll evil ways, and bitterness, has consumed you’ll heart and soul.

It has nothing to do with cricket, and the management of cricket.
it has everything to do, with the image of the officials in management.

It's exactly this foolish mindset that has caused the precipitous decline in WI cricket.


Words to describe:

Selfishness, myopism, insularity, greed.

What facility is there to MEANINGFULLY develop this ‘red ball’ game

The same facility that developed our former greats.
How was Chanderpaul developed?
I used to watch Charles Griffith bowling 4-5 hours every Sunday morning at Pebbles. Did he have other facilities?
Seymour Macdonald Nurse prepared for Australia, but practiced from dawn until dusk.
233 runs later, Bobby Simpson, in his book, wrote, "I felt sorry for the youngster when he walked to the wicket, as his inning progressed, I felt sorrier for my bowlers".
Seymour scored two doubles in his short career, one against Australia and the other in New Zealand.
We were all surprised when he retired after scoring that double.

It can be done; it will take a youngster like Jacob Bethell
He has the same mindset and dedication, his mother stated many mornings, she believes it will be a time of rest, there Jacob dressed and ready to attend the Franklyn Stephenson academy.
He did the same when he arrived before the English tour.
I am a fan of Seales, he brings something new every series he plays.

Nuh bother. Those people are projectionists

Yaad has 41 schools participating in school boy cricket. 451 students at least. We cannot establish a program for the best U17s and U19s?

30 students at each level. Sad
