i KNOW bRABITS AS AN OPENING BATSMAN COMING UP IN tRINIDAD YUH HEAR..SCORING BIG TIME..FIELDING BRILLIANTLY.
I HONESTLY DID NOT KNOW WHERE HIS BOWLING CAME FROM..AND THEN THEY WERE PLAYING HIM AS ALL ROUNDER IN TESTS ::confused:: ::confused::
THAT SPOILED HIS BATTING WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN HIS FOCUS. THEN CAME T20 AND ALL FALL DOWN..BUT NOT BEFORE gAYLE SPOILED THE TEAM PICKIN' 9 SKUNT YARDIES TO REPRESENT WEST INDIES
WHAT YUH WANT FROM bRABITS THEN IN ALL THE COMES' HE HAD TO LOOK OUT FUH HIMSELF. YOU WEREN'T DOING IT FUH WITH all skunt Otis and Hunter were about
I see it as crucial that west indies get rid of Samules. he is a pain in the arse a most unreliable fellow of very iffy constitution. you cant count on him for runs and he is a main batsman in the side..33 years old and full of experience and yet unreliable
he is a bad influence on the team, an all round impse and unfathomable person.
and Devon while nowhere near Samules negatives is kinda stupid as a player. they will play him again but he shud be dropped and Hope included. or if not then Hope for Samules
as Blackwood comes good and Holder too it is time to go to a player like Hope to see what he has. and as Darren is a must at #4 we must find a #3.
so if Hope is included then he goes immediately to #3 and Darren to #4..Shive and B'wood.
and Samules is gorne..for good I hope...leaving the team batting balanced. older still has a lil more time down the order but he can replace Shive at #5 when the great man goes.
by the end of the Oz games I expect Hope and Paint to be top of the order with Holder waiting to move up and a search for a #3. or a search for an opener if Hope makes it at #3
anyway options to meet needs are appearing. very cool!
arrite! I look at the fifth days play twice now..focused on lil Jase.
he is good, has solid batting style, technically sound. and he did beat up on Tredwell which is what I wanted to see. and it sure looks like he has upside, potential to get better.
but he is not yet as fluent a batsman as Brabits. and this is his first ton anywhere.
Brabits has never been a stranger to tons. certainly not by the time he was 23 years old
what is clear is that lil Jase is not Sammy. he is a far better batsman than Sammy. Sammys ton was a lucky thing, an unconventional thing. there is nothing unconventional about lil Jase as a batsman. he is technically correct, a much harder out than Sammy.
Sammy is all heart, hard work and determination, strong character..will never lie down. lil Jase is much more talented, does more with the ball too than Sammy.
we have a better all round player than Sammy in Holder, obviously with still more to him at 23 than I thought. but he is not yet a better player than Brabits, with bat and ball both....even as Brabits declines
