Joshua the great Trini hype vs Devon Smith

Thu, May 28, '26 at 5:30 PM

Devon Smith was a regional FC bully who couldn't transition. Chances are Josh maybe the same. Discuss.

BTW Josh not in the class of Devon Twinkle toes Smith!

Did the selecta give Josh the numerous opportunities that were given to Smith?🤔

@sgtdjones

Josh got 33 consecutive Tests! Deon Smith was dropped every 5 tests.

Yea mehson you’ve lost the plot take a sabbatical and come back if Sammy win some games!!!

I’m no Da Silva fan but to compare the man to Devon Smith is low even for you lol

@WIfan26

Devon Smith averaged around 40 in FC cricket, Josh 35. Both failed miserably in Tests, except one had 33 consecutive tests of futility 24.72 while the other played sporadically.

Yes you are right I was wrong to compare Josh with Devon Smith. Devon was better.

Devon Smith played 43 Test matches for the West Indies, scoring 1,760 runs at a batting average of 23.78.

Joshua Da Silva has played 33 Test matches for the West Indies, holding a batting average of 24.76

Who played on the better team?

Devon Smith had the luxury of sharing a dressing room with generational batting icons.

Da Silva has Jewel?

So in your opinion Smith is better?😳

33 consecutive tests of futility 24.72- Joshua. Devon Smith was dropped fiver times in span of 42 matches. This is the same WI that got bowled out for 47 at Sabina , Devin scored a ton in the first innings.

Has Jewel played a test match?

Come on Sarge you can't be this daft or I will give you credit for being disingenuous.

I say give Josh another 33 tests to improve on his futility.
