Play Auguste and stick with him

Wed, Oct 29, '25 at 12:09 PM

we need to develop batsmen. Stick with Athanaze too.

Should Auguste play before Jangoo who has a ODI century and a TwoI unbeaten half century? I dont think so. Auguste has had one good CPL innings and all of a sudden he is wonder boy. He has not even had one good season like the wonder boys before him: Mykyle and Athanaze. He certainly appears to have some talent and so should be developed like Jewel, Layne, Bowen Tuckett and others of a similar age rather than rushed to full international level long before he is ready.

I don't know, he has a touch of class that the rest don't have except Athanaze or Bidasse. I like Jangoo as a test batsman in the mold of Gomes

@methodic

Jangoo should have been in the ODIs


I see him play in New Zealand

The definition of insanity:

continuing to make the same mistakes yet expecting different results each time.

As if Mykyle Louis, Jewel Andrew, Kevlon Anderson, Xavier Marshall, haven’t been lessons enough.

Go ahead. Force ripe Auguste. Let his confidence be shattered. Put him in positions to fail. That’s exactly what he needs.

@PalsofMine


The way I look at it, the fact that Jangoo hasn't featured so far is not bad for him


Firstly his image wasn't sullied by the poor showings thus far. Secondly it takes pressure off of him knowing that he can come in after one had been persisted with and failed.


So he expects to get an extended run and surely can't perform as poorly has Rutherford has recently.


Remember Lara who turned out to be one of thr best batters in the game took bench for quite a bit before making his debut

@InHindsight

maybe so but I will still play Auguste

Wed, Oct 29, '25 at 12:59 PM

@methodic

Both Jangoo and Athanaze can play:


Hope

Athanaze

Auguste need to try him out see what he has to offer.

Jangoo- can take the gloves from Hope.

Chase- Leave him in as we do not have another allrounder - type to fit in.

Powell

Shepherd

Holder

Motie- Need him to regain confidence. Still a better bowler than Kahary.

Hosein

Simmons- Give him some playing time. Rest Seales as we cannot afford for him to get injured with Aljo and Shamar out.

It would seem unfair to bring in Auguste ahead of Jangoo but I'd do just that in the T20Is. However in the coming one dryers I'd start with Jangoo.


Ackeem it could be a toss up. But definitely wouldn't be a bad pick


There isn't a situation of force ripe thus far with Auguste

@imusic

Samuels, Sarwan, Sobers were all very young players. We have the same or more experienced batsmen failing.

The hypocrisy, twist n turn, change positions to suit narratives 'bout here rotten an' stink;das all

Wed, Oct 29, '25 at 3:22 PM

@methodic

and we expect Auguste, who has shown no real ability apart from one good CPL innings to be compared to Sobers, Sarwan or even Samuels? Doh make joke. I have nothing against giving opportunities to the youth but dont make him out to be what he isnt.
