Early signs of King vs Auguste

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.

If Auguste starts ill be even more shocked. Cause no way he's going to be an opener, and he cant replace Carty nor Hope. And number 6 will be Chase ans he doesn't bat lower down. So dont get too hyped up on him getting a call up like his call up was to replace King. King was poor and deserved to be dropped ans his place will be taken by Campbelle his fellow countryman seeing you want to make it about island vs island.

A brethren told me King, is excellent at packing hurricane supplies, he found his calling

King is just like the other WI players, so if you diss him then you are basically dissing the entire team.

Fri, Nov 14, '25 at 7:50 PM

King will be in the Test squad. Top scorer in the last Test series vs OZ. He has been struggling at ODI recently.

I will send you a pic of her burial spot, since you asked.

@Slippery Fella

The mere fact that you are comparing a batsman with 2 ODIS and one with 58 ODIS shows how flawed and desperate your argument is. Brandon King's list Average after 94 matches is 27.85., while Ackeem has only played 24 LIST A matches.


We gave you Campbell for King ( no pun intended) but you still not happy.

Hey Bro ease up on that rhetoric. Hurricane is no joke. You better than that. Don't go down there.

@voiceofreason

VOD I am in agree with your hurricane stance because the rich, middle class and poor have all suffered devastating losses.


Anyway, pertaining to Auguste, I believe that any player can be replaced as there are no entitled players currently on any WI teams. However, we should hope that the replacement player as least as good if not better than the incumbent player, which so far is not the case with Auguste.

They are players who have earned the right to be considered permanent fixtures in the team based on their good performances over a long period of time. King is not one of them, at least not any more.


However, we should hope that the replacement player as least as good if not better than the incumbent player, which so far is not the case with Auguste.


Auguste has played only two ODIS how can you arrive at such a conclusion? Should he not be given a long run like King who had 54 matches?
