Welcome Back Kieran Powell - zacaroni - 03-20-2016
Quote:And so, former and likely future West Indies opening batsman Kieran Powell has returned to cricket. Representing the Leeward Islands in a recent outing against Guyana in the West Indies’ Premier Cricket League (PCL), the left-hander scored 55 at faster than a run-a-ball. Importantly, he was as upright and as elegant as ever, striking seven fours and a six. It was as if he never left.

zacaroni , For the life of me I cannot understand your pieces.
are you a romance writer or an investigative journalist ???
NOT a single word in your article has mentioned CAUSE :
for Kieran Powell exile to Sri Lanka , subsequent discipline , baseball try out
and the reason thereof.....
Re: Welcome Back Kieran Powell - ketchim - 03-21-2016
Try get an interview with Richard Pybus on Kieran Powell !
no holds barred !
Let him tell us WHY he Ban Powell because he did NOT wanna disclose where
Gangsters were threatening his LIFE :
so he needed to leave the Island for a Bit ....
Re: Welcome Back Kieran Powell - ketchim - 03-21-2016
AND when Powell refuse to disclose , ask him WHY :
he (Richard) was such an arse hole to Banish him
Pybus , slave master mentality from the old colonial masters ...
massah day nah done !
Re: Welcome Back Kieran Powell - zacaroni - 03-21-2016
You seem to have much more knowledge on the subject than me. I was just writing about the difficulty I thought he faced pursuing baseball and that I think he could still be valuable to WI.
And I don't mind the romance writing thing.
Re: Welcome Back Kieran Powell - ketchim - 03-21-2016
Lol ...yeah , your assumption of him " grass is always greener ......"
is indeed a romantic adage of old !
however , it was based on the spitefulness and Nasty of Richard Pybus.
now that you know , maybe you can write a part II
Let me bump my thread for your personal education.
Re: Welcome Back Kieran Powell - ketchim - 03-21-2016
Cant find it BUT there are some quotes from Links posted by Mail.
should give you the reality of his switch to baseball !!
Murli did him a favor and got him a Sri Lanka Club gig

[quote author=ketchim link=topic=95299.msg628266#msg628266 date=1427330599]
[size=10pt]In a lengthy statement outlining his case, Powell claimed the director of cricket Richard Pybus
accused him of “walking off the job†and insisted that unless he provided him with
written details of the personal issue that prompted his decision , his chance of getting back
into the West Indies team would be compromised.[/size]

zac , baseball try out followed after the exile to sri Lanka .
Re: Welcome Back Kieran Powell - zacaroni - 03-21-2016
What I was really trying to say was that his switch to baseball was ill advised since he was unlikely to make it. The fact he is now back in cricket might suggest that cricket was not made unavailable to him. I read of some of the circumstances surrounding his departure from cricket. Very troubling and controversial but also very strange. And since there were two different sides as I remember it, it was hard to get at the undisputed truth.

that what investigative journalism is all about .
get at the TRUTH via an interview with Pybus .
Ask hard questions on this matter.
Dont conduct interview like that "love in" with Ian Bishop
