Because you stated that if he didn't merit notice, he wouldn't have been picked for 2 ODIs. And if that's not what you stated, you've failed considerably at the English language.The "merit" quote came from Shivfan first but my point is it's was YOU who brought it up during OUR debate, which is true isn't it?.
So you didn't see Sammy and Roach's name amoungst the dross then?
Well aside from Sammy's woeful ODI record, why mention Tonge and Dowlin at all if you don't rate them? Your intent was to suggest that the squad wasn't as bad as I'd suggested.So you didn't see Sammy and Roach's name amoungst the dross then?
I merely quoted HIS WORDS and ASKED A QUESTION, i didn't make an assumption i simply said if he was "crap" like Mike was suggesting why have the selectors picked him for two one dayers? Jesus Mr M you judge my English and yet you can't even fathom simple sentances? i used to put it down to you distorting my words for the millionth time but now i'm having doubts
.
There you go again putting words in my mouth!!, it's becoming a joke now Mr M
.
And now that I've explained that he was only picked because there were precious few other choices, you've conveniently backed down from your initial assertion. This may come as a shock to you, but not everyone who has played international cricket (and especially ODIs) deserves to have played it. Kieran Powell did not deserve selection, and is not good enough to have played for (a very weak) West Indies.
You're aware that this is an Internet forum and that everyone can see exactly what you said, right? Well, once you're aware with that, don't let me disturb your delusion.There you go again putting words in my mouth!!, it's becoming a joke now Mr M
Whether he "deserved" it or not it doesn't take away the fact that he's got experience at that level, i believe he'll be a good player for WI in the future but no doubt you'll want him to make his debut when he's 35!!.
And people will also be able to see how you've distorted my comments countless amount of times, it works both ways Mr M
.
Yep. Sure thing.And people will also be able to see how you've distorted my comments countless amount of times, it works both ways Mr M
In fairness, he averages 21 with no fifties in 8 innings.Nobody's really knocking at the door, now, is he? Not even Kieran Powell....
I'm glad we agree for once Mr M!!
.
Well as everyone knows i've been backing Kantasingh and with Powell i'm just happy to see him progressing, he's got over 30 runs in his last three or four games since he moved to three and i believe he'll get better, then hopefully he'll be Sarwan's long term replacement.IMHO, anyone who wants to dislodge an incumbent from the WI side has to at least finish in the top ten wickettakers or the top ten run-getters....
