Look Ramdin is struggling with the bat but if you want to compare hin to Fletcher et al... Give him the opening spot..let him get on or get out quickly... This should take the pressure off him coming at the wicket to sort the mess them so-called batsmen couldn't do :)

dat is exactly where ramdin shud be batting to ease up on the selection difficulties. but he cant do the job dats why deh dont put him there.

I am all for tryting him anyway. put him there with the instructions to bat or else.

Are you talking test or ODI?

When are we going to tell our batsmem to bat or else? You want the keeper to bat but not the batsmen? yuh know if them pull em weight the keeper can focus on his keeping ;)

Who should be making runs on the team?

why wont you stop being so sensitive where Ramdin is concerned! whats the point of your defence..what are you defending?

Ramdin has established a level that is not good enough. he scored big against england last yeat but little before or after. its not as if you defendng a great player or something, down on his his luck for a bit, who we know will get back to a customary quality level.

all Ramdin is, is the best of a bad lot! what are you going on about?

Ramdin should open for ODI. thats what we are talking about not so...ODI...50 overs game!

Ramdin should not play T20 at all but somebody with an aptitude to hit big should be recruited for that...maybe simmons!

ramdin should not open in tests matches. it should be obvious I could not possibly mean test matches!

wats wrong with you!? you get up clear-eyed but unable to read right anymore eh!

wow...you pon a rampage eh? :) I'm not sensitive about Ramdin ...He is the best we have. So why the experimenting with the rest? OH I know Windians like to see fair-play and beat a dead horse :lol:

Look at all the keepers batting stats....none better than Ramdin add some so-called batmen in deh too. :)

You play your best keeper! You doh select mediocre ones and have the best pon di bench.. if we want to win...

What if we tek one of the top batsmen and make em a keeper? Who will it be..?

westindies shud make 1 and a half or 2 teams. too much pressure on too few players. deh shud do like the english and rotate at least some of the players
