    Young players who failed to realise their potential

    IMHO Barath was the biggest loss to us. He was a huge talent, dominated at all levels pre-Test, great start and then had a tricky run, but I think with support he would have been a 40+ average test batsman. He walked away so soon. I also raise Devon Smith. I saw him at Under 19 level in the...

    I forgot about SInclair. He can bat six IMHO.

    Alternative side if they don't want to play a spinner (which let's face it they are fond of doing).... Kraigg Tage/Louis McKenzie Athanaze Hodge Imlach/King/Wickham Da Silva (WK) Holder Roach Shamar Seales They could also consider Alzarri for the 6th batter and move everyone one up.

    Really interesting discussion this. He batted at 5 today and scored another 74. He looks as good as any batsman on display this season. I do get Steve Smith vibes from him, though obviously don't expect a test average of 58! I think he could be a middle order batsman for the test side in the...

    Hearing that Holder and Reifer are back for Barbados. They've dropped Kevin Wickham, one of the best players in the tournament so far. Honestly, what's the point in being a young cricketer in the Caribbean? Even if you perform, you get dropped for the likes of Reifer. If someone like Wickham...

    I caught some of the action yesterday evening. The batsmanship is not great, but the pitches at Warner Park and Coolidge, in particular, span a lot for a day-one pitch. Kevin Sinclair was ripping it, and he does not usually give it that much of a rip. Also, yet again, I don't see umpiring...

    Motie will kit it in home conditions. Chase is an option in T20 that I don't mind though, as opposed to his direness in other formats.

    Kirk has never scored runs for Jamaica. As soon as he plays for someone else like the academy or the A team, he scores runs. That Jamaica set up stinks.

    predict your test team in 3 years

    Anyone who is not a fan of Australia, India or England might as well not bother answering this :(. No test team in 3 years.

    Lost of dismissals caugh a few inches inside the largest boundary. I am partially irritated at the lack of cricket smarts, but then I also recognise that we probably win that game if it is in the Caribbean, as those are all sixes. It would be nice to see a little more awareness than that...

    That Jamaica team is so depressing. You have Govasta Edmond running in bowling quick for CCC whilst they have selected aging medium pacers. Jordan Johnson is on the sidelines. Shocking.

    Plus a massive gap between bat and pad. It's painful.

    When Kraigg is out of form he looks almost like a tailender.

    He's a leg spinner, medium fast seamer, off spinner and keeps fairly well. Annoyingly talented.

    It's Wickham's 3rd century in 9 matches. Two hard working hundreds and domination today against a tiring attack. He's adaptable and has all the shots. Praying he carries this on for the rest of the season. He and Kevlon Anderson (2 centuries in 7 matches) are my main batting hopes for this...
