they will drop him for a less talented player with a lower average.

Well with an ODI average of 23.50 and a strike rate of 80 I’m interested to see who would be worse 🫠

He has only played 16 ODIS stop/start Matches so singling him out is a bit harsh and unecessary. This is just his 2nd series and 4th game if he plays tonight.
He played 9 mtahces between September 23 and February 24 then he was dropped. Then 3 games october to December 24, then dropped. now just returned for 3 games vs Bangladesh.

For a player thst people say has so much talent he really dont score a lot of runs at any level even in a poor fc west indies tournament.

Point. He is the poor man's Hooper of this era. the man had one good season. Similarly with Auguste, who just had one good match.

Bro don’t disrespect Sir Carl Hooper like that please he certainly was an unfulfilled talent but he’s a cricketing God compared to guys WI have now lol
I would more use a Devon Smith or Kieron Powell comparison!!!

Bro when you are talented, you are judged differently. Trinidad dropped Barath for lesser talented players.

Athanaze and Carty lost us this match.
Too many dot balls.
29 from 58.
32 from 67.
Not good enough.
