Where Richie pulled this number from? WI couldn't do it in 15 years and now they will do in 5?

Looks like he looking for long term work

Get Richie here.. we want to know what is his definition of better?

Are we going to see THREE batsmen on the side averaging 40+ in Tests and ODIs? We want details...come Richie ..

How are we going to get there? I wants facts...not fiction...anyone?

Well he's actually RIGHT balloil!!.. and here's why..

Barath
Brathwaite
Darren
Powell
Hughes
Corbin (wk)
Carlos Brathwaite
Russell
Cariah
Roach
Gabriel


WILL ALL BE AT THEIR PEAKS AND UNDER THE AGE OF 27, and that's just a balanced team i've put together!!.. there's plenty more gems such as Holder, Chase, Khan, Bonner, Hope, Alleyne, Permaul, Cotterell, Mcclean, Powell, Athanaze, Hamilton, Vishual Singh, Dorwich, Pascal, Kantasingh etc who will all be more experienced in five years too, believe me WE WILL BE A FORCE AGAIN with this current crop coming through, they are MUCH MORE TALENTED than any crop we've had come through over the past 15 years, there's no doubt about it imo.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA the other day you asked me "how many averaging 40?" and when i named five you ran from it quickly!! , btw Darren averaging over 60 in Tests and Barath 44 in FC cricket!! , and the whole of that top order are averaging around the 40 mark right now anyway so i'd imagine in the next five years they will only get better!!..stop being bitter BallOIL, the FUTURE IS BRIGHT no-matter what you haters think!! .

I want to know what is Richie's definition of better. This way I can measured it when that time comes around. If he can't provide details then he talking out his behing.

I don't think there are any haters... People just have high standards and using that to measured the mediocre WICB.

Last week the boar said that they didn't have a camp next thing you know camp goin on... WTF? is it a secret camp?

Why people are left stranded at airport ?

I have seen enuff to be very watchful. so I will note the concerns about these players here.

Barath has a fitness problem. lets hope he is not like the Oz Taitt who cant stay up for long.

there is a question of who Hughes will opt to play for...westindies or england. england is full of batsmen at the moment but it depends on how good a player is. no matter how many the competiton, if he is good enuff he moves to the head of the class.

I wud wager good money that Hughes will opt for england and English cricket at the expense of westindies cricket..whether he gets pik for england or not. Hughes will prolly make a life in england for himself.


corbin is a prospect I like although I wish he wud have made some runs against Jamaica. it wud have been so much more clarifying had he scored well in the final.

I also like Braithwaite but he has to get into the team first. which brings me to a problem I will mention next post.

cariah and gabriel are unknowns. cariah is at least still a teenager or just 20. gabriel is already 22, the time when he shud be starting his test career...or well into a first class career that has demonstrated already he has it all.... rather than still builidng up.

ok so he is a late developer...not an unusual factor in cricket.

Powell is still an enigmatic figure to me. he shows den disappears..fades. I understand he got injured this season but still....

the 3 most consistent figures in that group are lil Bravo, Braithwaite and Roach...2 already proven good enuff and one with the definite potential to go all the way

Mapoui... A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,even ten.
