Why are they hell bent on force ripin Auguste?

Like Dey on a mission to destroy de yute.

He’s obviously been identified as a special talent.

Fine. So your only option is to throw him in the fire?

They doing the same with Jewel Andrew

On top of all that, they determined to make him an opening batter. Has Auguste always been an opener? Or they just looking to fill a need?

Is it in Auguste’s best interests to pursue that path? Or like others before him, eager to take whatever comes his way as a pathway to making the team, even if it’s to his detriment?

They done fork up Alick Athanaze & Kevlon Anderson. Is like they focused on doing the same to Auguste and this next crop of “can’t missers”.

Everton Weekes Jr soon come.

Our “development” truly SUCKS!

@imusic

tour games and the like are good to develop him. If he cant succeed then he gotta go back regional.Jewel looks even less prepared.Both are talents, also Shakere looks promising. I say groom them strictly for t20

First we say they should be playing more cricket and then when they do get to play we say they are being force riped. He scored twin 90's as an opener vs Guyana so why not let him play in a warmup game vs Lanka?

In this rum shop too many drunk from contradictions.
