agony relative to Samules..in or out ::confused:: ::confused::

Hardly ::yawn::

but can anyone in my 11 score more than 25-35 ::confused:: ::confused::

sure they can.  deh have done it times before

I pulled out Bravo's numbers and put them together in an easy to read graphic. The numbers are revealing. Bravo is cricket's Jekyll and Hyde.

Bravo has been a below average batsman at home, but an elite batsman in overseas Tests. Since he made his Test debut, his overseas average is higher than the likes of Root, Kohli, Williamson and Warner.

He has scored 764 more runs in 2 less innings overseas. His home average is 22.08 runs lower at home. This is the greatest differential between home and away averages in Test history.

In his career, he has performed marginally better batting at No 3. However, when taking a closer look at these numbers, we see that when playing at home, his numbers are much superior batting at No 4.

Conversely, when playing overseas, he has performed better batting at No 3.

The real question: Why is Bravo so poor at home?

lol. Bravo is now a specialist oversees only batsman.

regardless..Bravo cant be dropped  anywhere in these west indies straits for talent.

I want to see him at 4 next test.  and as batting support emerges I suspect he will get better at home.

Bravo did have a match winning innings against england las' year in thwe west indies

Samuels now averaging a pathetic 14.20 in 15 innings over the last 12 months.

Marlon's average over the last 3 years is trending in the wrong direction:

2014: 30.20
2015: 26.88
2016: 21.71

if samules was a race horse deh wud have turned him out already.  it wud be pointless to race continue racing him.  there is only loss of money in that.  you have to pay to keep up the horse..and he wont be bringing back in any money to cover those expenses.

samules shud have been dropped already..he shud not even have made this series.  he is useless

It is infuriating. There is no logical explanation for it. He doesn't even provide the veteran leadership role as evidenced by his actions on the last tour of Australia. I'd genuinely love to read or hear an explanation from someone within the WICB for his continued selection.

It's almost hard to believe just how bad he has been. Only one batsman (Stiaan van Zyl) has a lower average over the last year. 53% of his Test innings over this period have resulted in single-digit scores, and you have to go all the way back to May 2012 to find the last time Marlon scored multiple fifties in a series. Incredible. Yet instead of sending him out to pasture, he is paraded around like a show pony.

dat is the wicb.  wat are they focused on dat permits this nonsense to go on ::confused::

on keeping the seniors they hate off the team deh keep Samules...

Gaye shud be on the team batting in the middle.  he is the best veteran batting presence we have .

and Ramdin shud be on the team.  the Dowrich selection is not working out in front or behind the stumps with Ramdin sitting
