Some fans always critiquing but West Indies best batsman are usually the ones who are not on the field.

King should be helping with hurricane cleanup and give up professional cricket. Mediocre.

LMAO, this respond would stop a reasonable poster from posting shoite, but Slippy would continue to post more to overflow the system.

Your post seem somewhat full of elation Jangoo didn't perform
King wasn't drop after one failure and it is not a career ending drop so Tek it easy

100% agreed. Not taking anything away from Jango — he definitely deserves his chance — but I think what we fail to realise is that our system just hasn’t produced many top-class cricketers in recent times.
Someone like King, while not necessarily top notch, forms the core of our white-ball setup. He’s going through a rough patch, but make no mistake — King is still our number one opener in white-ball cricket right now. Hopefully, Lewis can get his body right so they can continue their partnership at the top.

I knew this post would have taken you out of church today, as you couldn’t resist the urge to respond 😀

Slippy how come you didn't post McKenzie scores from the Jamaica Scorpions warm up match?

jangoo didn’t exactly cover himself in glory nor give the fans something to hope in, during that innings last nite. Full of streaky shots and nervous bat work. He has batter better than that before. Is a seaming track his kryptonite?

King started out with a bang see Duke's post. West Indies pushed him for Whitehall formats, instead of letting him continue to develop his skills, but once he is not yours, why be rational.

King was deservedly dropped after a run of low scores. This is professional cricket where there should be one standard; MAKE RUNS OR MAKE WAY!!
King should be held to higher standard, so there is no point in trying to excuse or rationalise mediocrity. .Let's leave that to the apologists for the unqualified, inept and inexperienced homeboys being foisted on us as potential saviors
