He's a young man who showed glimpses of brilliance when he wore the WI shirt both with the bat and in the field, or should his good perfomances be totally written off now just because he went off the rails for a spell?!!at using Xavier Marshall as an example of batting depth.
.
You mean like NZ?.
To be honest the fact that NZ was on Pak's list means we automatically played the tougher fixtures!!.
So drawing in NZ is some sort of "achievement" now?
With some regret I will respond to all of this -And
As the old saying goes!!.. the truth hurts!!
Taylor isn't really fit either tbf.
Pardon me if you're offended, that wasn't my intention, it's just that most of my detractors on this forum happpen to be NZ fans, and when they go out of their way to run down WI i feel inclined to put the facts on the table, as the old saying goes "those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones", i'm sure my fellow WI fans here wouldn't be too pleased about what's being said about our team too but the others don't seem to think about that, in the heat of a debate harsh words can be said but the truth is i've got no problem with NZ really.
Roach when he's fit which is about 70% of the time or so, Rampaul, Shillingford, Bravo and Benn. And that Bess bloke for one Test but I think that was just because he was in the area or something when Roach pulled out. Their attack is quite good in theory but it's a bit of a myth because Edwards is NEVER fit, Taylor's only fit about 20% of the time and they have no depth.
Loads of wasted bowling talent. Benn's probably not even the best spinner we could play.
Another one who hasn't taken the time to read the thread properly!!As clearly shown in this thread
.
And who would our "best spinner" be then RB? Miller?
if we're gonna replace Benn then it has to be someone who is the real deal, yesterday in the t20 cup i saw a young man i was bigging up two years ago show all the tricks in the book for Guyana (i.e googly, flippers, Sliders, top spin etc) and took 3/20 in the process, his name is Devendra Bishoo, he's also done very well in the last couple of FC seasons, i hope Gibbo is watching him because he looks like he might be a bit special, and being only 24 he's bound to get better.
No problem man.
Evidently, if I've missed where you accept Pakistan being clearly better than the West Indies.Another one who hasn't taken the time to read the thread properly!!
Yeah because Pak's "outstanding form" over the last 18 months puts them ahead of WI right?
yeah sure it does!! .
In the last 18 months, they've lost to Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka (which pretty much every side does), drawn in New Zealand, been thumped in Australia and drawn with Australia in England.Yeah because Pak's "outstanding form" over the last 18 months puts them ahead of WI right?
I deliberately didn't name one.And who would our "best spinner" be then RB? Miller?
You may have missed it but they just avoided being whitewashed by Australia when they were missing 2 of the best batsmen around plus had disarray with a change in captain mid-series.Yeah because Pak's "outstanding form" over the last 18 months puts them ahead of WI right?
The fact that you've had the nerve to put Bangladesh on your list makes your whole point futile imo, have we lost games? yep but so have Pak, the only difference is we actually WON A SERIES while they've drawn with NZ and Aus, anyone with an ounce of sense would agree that winning a series is much more impressive.
