Enough is enough. Time to right the wrong that was done this young Man with one test in his career. Josh had 33 tests and failed. Imlach 6 tests @ 15.4 just not ready.

121 big knock that!

Young, the man is like 35+

I concur.

that’s why, earlier, I called him, today’s Irvin Shillingford.

He too, played 1 test, scored a century,

Sobers, still dropped him.

Did you see that De Silva scored a double hundred?

@Trex

i actually think da silva has earned his place as a pure batsman as well so there may be space. only hope and greaves did decently on the nz tour and hope is hopeless against short pitched bowling. he should never be batting at 3

@voiceofreason

If that’s the case please bring back Darren Bravo as well he’s still our best batsman 🫠

That was some hitting, 9 sixes. Hamilton became consistent with the bat too late in his career. although he should have gotten more chances in Test cricket. He might top the batting average for the LWI 2 years consecutively

The two insular 'Islanders' only see what they want' Watch Vor ignore Jumpy's post re 'The Liming Sammy' Di odder one him won't remember Irving's ton was on a dead Bourda and if memory serves he came in for an injured player.Wasn't Dessi Lewis dropped and Findlay recalled before Deryk Murray returned?

@Brerzerk

Dessie Lewis averaged something like 72 runs in his brief 3-test career and never played for West Indies again.. Irving Shillingford never played under Sobers but did score a century and did play more than a single test.

Irving Shillingford was a very good batsmen who just happen to be born at the wrong time, not unlike Renford Pinnock from Jamaica.
