Skip,

Not sure if you can read but I said he averages 40 in his 4 tests which is good by any standards but especially West Indian standards so why?

I am not an elector either.

A question is a question and neither a statement of fact nor conclusion.

I do not see Leon as rubbish. He showed some flaws in SA but it was his 2nd, 3rd and 4th tests where he performed credibly.

So he should be given a run hence my confusion why he was left out for that year and not played against India when the opening position is an issue?

rhetorical in this case with your reputation of being Disingenuous.

we already note your thread title and view of 19 yr.old Guyanan "incompetent" Hetmeyer

I am here to discuss cricket and I believe with Johnson's initial statistical record he should have been ahead of the queue.

Not sure what happened to fall out of favour with the selectors especially when the opening position is an issue.

I do not personally like his style but the numbers are just that.

Trini was kind of enough to provide some insights earlier in the week.

Dilly,


That helps.


I usually spend a few months in the Caribbean around the cricket season  and tours but have not spent much time there in the last 3 years so slightly out of touch hence the question.


Thank to both you and Trini.

But there was a Guyanan Chairman of electors before!

Anyway my question was answered by Trini through Dilly....above.

Let us hope he gets a shot tomorrow and have a reasonable run to prove his worth.

So no Johnson!

Ah well the there would only be one Guyanan left standing....Bishoo and he too will be dispensed with back to Vivian's cry. Chandrika's days are numbered.

Shame but Blackwood justified his selection so it is only Samuels to make way and he will be selected until he decides to quit...

Hang in there Leon.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches. This is not about our players, administrators, or any individual; it is an entire system that is failing, and together, all of us must fix it now. This cannot continue into another series; we must not allow it to.(15.07.2025, 14:52)(14:52)0
