Re: A Look at the Squad - mapoui - 04-27-2015
here is a team I would like to play! my purpose is to get Darren to #4 and Samules to #6..and Devon off the team.
we cannot kerry a declining Shive and an incompetent Devon on the same batting side. that has proven to be very unwise. did we get 25 runs from their combined 4 at bats last week?
I would like to see Hoe at #3..not #2..so I have to sacrifice some one who may at least give me a 20-25..stick around with Paint for a 40-50 run partnership. that means Fudadin or Johnson..either would do.
of bite my bullet and take the biggest shot of all...INCLUDE MY FASCINATION PLAY IMRAN KHAN FROM TITTY AND MAKE HIM OPEN WITH PAINT WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE 20-25 AND BAT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS IF HE CAN
now I so look because I do not expect Holder to play. if holder plays then I must open with Hope and play Holder at #3. or still play Khan with Hope at #3, leaving HOPELESS HOLDER AT #8
but I want to leave 4 players off the side completely Smiff, Samules, Holder and Blackwood...all friggin 4
so my side would be
Paint
Khan
Hope
darren
Shive
Johnson
Ramdin
Bishoo
Gabe
Taylor
Roach/Beaton/Barnwell/Cummins...whoever fit and ready
3 pacers at Kensington....2 attacking spinners = 5 bowlers
this side cant do worse than the last one

Agreed ! 8)
Caution on Cotrell : Left arm are creating havoc on those big teams !
Re: A Look at the Squad - biplob - 04-27-2015
Actually Holder is a challenge. Good Promising cricketer but can`t bat at 6/7 & also can`t be your 3rd seamer (wicket taking option). My Team
1. Kraigg
2. Blackwood
3. Bravo
4. Samuels
5. C`paul
6. Holder (if fit)
7. Ramdin
8. Carlos
9. Taylor
10.Bishoo
11. Gabriel

as I have explained my prob with Cott is not left arm..I know all dat. it is dat Cott is ah jackass dat is wat it is.
if deh pik him he wont be ready and he cant bowl for long periods. he has proven that 5 overs per game is his max. get dat skunt outta there

I can't call Holder a fraud. he himself is not perpetrating a fraud on the fan. it is the wicb with all the Holder hype.
lets face it. Holder is not likely ever to become a quality fast bowler. he just does not have the mind of a Zaheer Khan, Chaminder Vass or Glen McGrath as killer 'fast' bowlers who were not really fast.
Holder is a better batsman than he is a bowler... but I looked at his ton not out and I did not really see a quality batsman. he had it going that day in Antigua but he looked just ordinary in Grenada.
Holder has work to do to become a real quality batsman worth his place on the side purely as a batsman/. he wont make it as a bowler.
people here were making fun of Brabits as a player but Holders is nowhere near Brabits as a player. Holder cant bowl as good as Dwayne Bravo and he is nowhere near Bravo as a quality batsman. just looking at them both bat reveals that fact.
That Dwayne Bravo is not on this test side weakens it badly.
I am not a fan of Jason Holder as such. he is a fine young west indian citizen. that I have no quarrell with. but as a cricket player he is just ordinary

Recall Deonarine instead of Imran Khan.
Good SPIN option and can hold a Bat !

there is no way I would do that. there is not a hope of a snowball in hell that I would ever play Deonarine in any team I had anything to do with
know who Deonarine is. and lookit here as you like to say. if I put an ability mark on Deonarine for the many series he has played in, and got an average of lets say 60...which is generous fuh dat skunt.... you don't know how easy that number is to beat, to surpass, so that you can safely bet on the player of 'unknown' ability to come up with a number that would beat that 60!!!
such a horse or sports player does not beat younger horses or players you see. cant! the rookie or unknown ability on the fact that they have not yet played or raced, is bound to be better. there are few if any circumstances in which the rookie wont do better
any average you can give to Deonarine on his career is bound to be low..that can easily be surpassed , beaten any new comer of decent quality.
it is like betting on maiden horses..on horses generally
you compare the averages of horses that have been running often enough. if you get a horse with 10 races and his average is 60..that is what he can do and no better.
against a horse a year younger and 2 races both at 50 what the hell do you think will happen next race between those 2?
that's right..the 2 race horse is going to wallop the 10 race by 60 average horse big time..dropping a 70-75 ability time. he will win by 10-20 lengths ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::
if he can do a 50 in his first race the skunt who has been doing a 60 for his career does not have chance.
between Imran and Deonarine the only fact in Deo's favor is that Khan himself is 30 years old already. that is not good for a rookie.
but deonarine is so wutliss, so ridiculous::LOL:: that I would still bet on Khan before Deo..every friggin time, all ways, every day... to come-up with a higher ability time than whatever the hell is Deonarines average

and I don't like Russell either. he is not a good and smart player. he is just Jason holder at 90 -95mph
and Russell cant bat as well as Jase. 2 of them combined do not make 1 Brabits
