Early signs of King vs Auguste

Fri, Nov 14, '25 at 1:46 PM

Dont get me wrong, I am all for youths getting an opportunity on the big stage but although I would encourage his inclusion, he has not yet put up any numbers for us to be excited about, see his averages below:

Auguste ODI 8.50 and T20 23.42

King has 27.3 in ODI and 25.8 in T20, I am sure that VOD and posse were still not excited about his performance, so why be excited about a player with significantly less average? I still support youth getting a run and it’s still early days for him but the double standards are stinking up the place.

@Slipfeeler

This shouldn't even be a comparison... Auguste did nothing to even be near an ODI team.


Yet to score a ton at the List A and FC level but he's apparently the new savior.


Yes he got some talent.. but why are they forcing it? Let him develop and earn his spot...


All that being said.. King was rightfully dropped. Stinking up the place long now.
