Googley, you going haffi explain to the illiterate WICB trough-dwellers who Don Quixote was....Googley wrote:We been grooming youngsters and rebuilding since 1995!!!
when will we get to the promised land??
Those youngsers you speak of will get old tomorrow and you will point out another set of youngers and say "Forward" .... sounds familiar? WICB been doing that since 95!
but your chant of "Forward" reminds of someone.... Don Quixote
Let me give you a clue, AfCrow...windmills.
As you point out, Googs, the corrupt WICB have been claiming that they rebuilding for the past 22 years...and we still waiting. So, who are the prospects that afCrow highlighted, and how did they do this season?
Batting - pass mark average 40
Keemo Paul - 207 runs @ 15.92 = FAIL
Cato - 404 runs @ 28.85 = FAIL
Akeem Saunders - 419 runs @ 32.23 = FAIL
Tage Chanderpaul - 423 runs @ 38.45 = CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR
Fabian Allen - 429 runs @ 42.90 = PASS
Tion Webster - 337 runs @ 25.92 = FAIL
Greaves - 384 runs @ 32 = FAIL
Amir Jangoo - 467 runs @ 29.18 = FAIL
Chanderpaul Hemraj - 551 runs @ 34.43 = FAIL
Brandon King - 427 runs @ 26.68 = FAIL
Nicholson - 242 runs @ 22 = FAIL
It's about consistency, afCrow, not one ton in a blue moon...of your much-touted youngsters, only Allen and probably Tage have done enough to earn a place on merit as a batsman in the 'A' team against the England Lions next month. They pale in comparison to....
Devon Smith - 944 runs @ 78.66
Ramdin - 702 runs @ 63.81
Vishal Singh - 539 runs @ 49
None of those youngsters have done enough to merit being picked over those three veterans.
The bowling looks good, because the batting is so poor....
Louis - 38 wkts @ 22.94
Paul - 36 wkts @ 17.52
Lewis - 28 wkts @ 22.85
I don't know why you picked Greaves, because he's been poor with only 14 wickets @ - an expensive average of 33.92. Derval Green was much better with 25 wickets @ 25.52. But then again, you'd never pick a Jamaican when you could pick a less talented Baje, right?
The fact remains that Guyana dominated this season, so they deserve the lion's share of the places in the 'C' team.
1) Guyana - 145.2 points
2) daylight
3) more daylight
4) Barbados 94.6 points
5) Jamaica 91 points
6) Leewards - 85.2 points
7) Windwards - 80.4 points
8) Trinidad - 80 points
