Farewell Chris Gayle

[roseboy64]

He's not shown it recently though TBH. The drop should give him some focus again I hope.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Say what? Ramdin's glovework has been as solid as ever unless I'm forgetting something drastic.

 

[roseboy64]

His batting.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

And Baugh is better? Did you read my post at all?

I'll break it down for you:

Ramdin >>>>> all WI wicketkeepers with the gloves.
Ramdin >= all WI wicketkeepers with the bat.

There's is absolutely no evidence that Carlton Baugh is a better batsman than Ramdin. And there's a whole lot of evidence that Ramdin is much better with the gloves.

If Ramdin seriously is at least as good a batsman as any other wicketkeeper in West Indies, then there's real trouble.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

There is a young crop of players without much experience (but with great talent), but if you look at the wicketkeepers with any serious exposure or experience at domestic level, it's difficult to argue that anyone is better.

Baugh for one has a better FC record. Anyway, this isn't the end for Ramdin. HIs batting has been regressing for a while now and hopefully this allows him to gain focus.

Feel really sorry for Ramdin. His wicket-keeping has been flawless lately. Couldn't give a rats about his batting, we all know the talent is there. L4m3.

 

[Perm]

What is Baugh like as a keeper? Can't say I've actually seen him play international cricket, but I don't think it hurts to have competition for the national team. The pressure placed on both of them could improve their performances, as they're both fighting for the same spot.

 

[roseboy64]

AFAIK his keeping has improved since his last foray for the West Indies when it was just mediocre.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The thing is, Carlton Baugh's batting has been worse than Ramdin's in recent seasons. And his wicketkeeping is certainly worse. ITSTL.

He's probably going to tear Canada and Bermuda new ones now.

[roseboy64]

Averaged low last FC season but scored a century against the Aussies in a tour match.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Low is an understatement.

2005-06: 12 inns, 25.45, 1x50, 0x100
2006-07: 9 inns, 14.55, 1x50, 0x100
2007-08: 10 inns, 10.55, 0x50, 0x100

Then he scored 111* and 36 against Australia, as expected.
Yes, this is FC form, but his List-A form has seen him play 6 innings in 2 years and fail to pass 29. He's not scored a List-A fifty in 2 years and only has 2 of them in total.
