Explain Cornwall?

He’s the best off spinner in the region. Has been for some time.

I believe the reason he’s not in the WI team anymore is precisely because of those fitness requirements.

More reason to question why it’s not applied everywhere in WI cricket….at the youth level, women’s cricket, everywhere.

@CCW

has anybody seen fat unfit looking women from other countries apart from Windies??.....just asking!!

I haven’t seen any but I doh watch all the matches.

One that comes to mind is a South African, Lizelle Lee, who opens the batting and wicket keeps for Trinbago Knight Riders women’s team. She’s a big woman. Don’t know if she’s playing for South Africa in this World Cup.

Its not uncommon to see overweight players in T20 franchise cricket….in men’s and women’s matches.

@imusic

However, I feel he was dropped because of performance not fitness.

@natty_forever

However, I feel he was dropped because of performance not fitness.

He was dropped right after the cameras repeatedly showing him fielding at slip, the ball edged along the ground through the slips, and the keeper running back to the boundary, in pads, to retrieve the ball because he would get there much faster than Cornwall.

CWI…..far less the team…..couldn’t deal with that optics and reality

What CWI needs to do is starting with the next generation (8yrs old up), develop firm fitness/nutrition guidelines in training programs. Fund those guidelines, give kids role models to emulate while understanding that there'll always be an exception ala Cornwall. Qiana, Afy n dem should look at MOMS such as Shelly-Ann Miller-Uebo and Chicken-legs came back even fitter than dem young days.
