Colin Croft didn't hold back here in this article about Shamar Joseph,


Anyway, so, now, after everything in the last five or six months, Shamar Joseph, whose cricketing future had been lauded by all, including me, late in 2023 and in early 2024, has now, already, been dropped and almost nearly fully relegated.

Also, he wants him under his wing,

What is wrong with this picture??
This facade does not look good for the young man.
Shamar Joseph needs severe cricketing help right now. Right now!!
He might even need some psychological profiling and “clearing out processes” now too.
Colin Croft, experienced and fully qualified as a Coach, is always available, if “the powers-that-be” are serious and honest.

Everyone knows how and where to find me if / when they need to do so.
So, I am not that surprised, but I am very seriously disappointed, at the precipitous downward slide of a fast bowling cricketer with so much natural talent.

Shamar Joseph’s future in cricket could already be at the crossroads!

NO SURPRISE!! - Kaieteur News

Kaieteur Sports- You should have noticed that CWI and their selectors - Head Coach Darren Sammy and Captains Rovman Powell (T-20-Is) and Shai Hope (ODIs) - have dropped Guyana and WI supposed fast bowler Shamar Joseph, from their general squad for the last three T-20-Is v England to be played in...

All a bit hysterical. He's just not a very good white ball bowler yet. If he was dropped from the Test squad it'd justify that sort of dramatic reaction more.

It was OTT, there’s much to learn for a bowler like him. Focus on the red ball stuff and not get dismayed by getting licks in curry goat cricket.

Rahkeem Cornwall delivered a stellar all-round performance to secure a four-wicket victory for the Leeward Islands Hurricanes over the Combined Campuses and Colleges. He took six wickets for 20 runs and then scored an unbeaten 84 from just 39 balls, propelling the Hurricanes into the semi-finals.

A week on, let's see how that 50 over tournament finished https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/...finalists-forfeit-rain-affected-final-1461549

Why did the teams refuse to take the field?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

THey waited too long to start, I guess.

AND CWI saved some money by not having a reserve day.

A bunch of our youngsters are in India at the Chennai Super Kings cricket academy on clinic that is focused on playing spin,

That's probably a better top 7 than the current test team.

You’re not wrong, I would take my chances and throw these guys into it and let them go through the motions.

Kraigg is currently approaching 100 tests and he’ll be the worst to get there (currently it’s Carl Hooper, but we’d kill for a cricketer of Carl’s pedigree atm.)

I love this little peanut,

Rutherford struck seven fours and eight sixes as he went from 19 off 29 balls in the 32nd over to score a further 94 runs in 51 balls. He now has five consecutive 50-plus scores in ODIs, becoming the fourth West Indian after Gordon Greenidge, Chris Gayle and Shai Hope, who have six in a row each, to achieve this feat.

Is Teddy Bishop part-Indian?

For that matter, is Brandon King?

Both look like they have South Asian features to go with black/Anglo surnames. I'm guessing they're mixed race.

I have no idea what their ancestry is, but I am certain that they are mixed race.

The names are a result of English colonialism...and religion to an extent.

Looking at our batting for the past 2 years and it is refreshing to see some of the averages and strike-rates,

They are in good hands.

In Chennai, next-gen West Indians take part in spin masterclass

A two-week training camp with the Super Kings academy saw the batters play a variety of spin bowlers, practice on red and black-soil pitches, and also play few games against top locals

and in a great city.
