*Official* West Indies In Australia

[WindieWeathers]

Ryan Hinds? The ill-disciplined, persistent international failure? ITSTL. He's never even managed 19 in ODI cricket.

Imran Khan? The guy who's never played an OD match? And is very much a bowling allrounder anyway.

Leon Johnson's last proper cricket was last year. His last OD match was 2 years ago.

So in summation, I agree with all these choices.
Subliminal mockery.

I'm just putting some ideas out there, but as you've already "praised the lord" about Wavell's inclusion no doubt my ideas were never gonna stack up in your book , by the way what has Wavell done in ODI cricket lately? and you have the nerve to ridicule my suggestions? as for Imran Khan, you keep going on about Miller's "FC record" so looking at Imran's record THIS CURRENT domestic season why shouldn't he get a chance? oh i forgot it's one thing for Miller and another for everyone else!! .

As for Deonarine vs Miller it's nothing to do with "perspective" i'm just stating the FACTS, Deonarine has taken more wickets at test level than Miller FACT, it's as simple as that.

Hinds is a good player should not have been left out of teh team for the last 4 years still has something to offer WI cricket.

Im disgusted that Ganga cant find a place sure hes not a dasher but his solid technique and ability to bat long periods would have defenitly helped windies cause against an Australia'n attack whom he has scored to test match centuries against in consecutive innings.

Your second paragrpah does not compute.

Deonarine's played about 3-4 Tests and bowled more overs than him as well I believe. Not to mention Miller was coming off an injury but don't let that ruin your argument.

Mr M claimed that i said "Deonarine was better than Miller" when all i've done is point out the facts, i guess you never saw that.

 

[roseboy64]

Probably not. Statistics have to be looked at in context though or else one could say Andy Ganteaume is the best batsman ever.

For tomorrow:

Watson
Haddin
Ponting
Hussey
Clarke
White
Hussey
Johnson
Hauritz
Harris
Bollinger

Playing against sides with dashers like Gayle and Pollard, you really can't afford to fall behind the 8 ball with players like Marsh.

Don't really like Clarke at 4 to be honest, comes in and arrests any momentum built from the top 3, he used to be a gun at 5 move him back there.

I'm aware of that, i was just correcting someone who distorted my views.

To be fair, Wavell Hinds is currently doing well, and has earned his recall to the side....

I believe that our domestic first-class season has to be the benchmark for selection to the WI side. It worked for Barath, so it can work for others.

And that's why Imran Khan should have got a chance ahead of Hinds imo because the man has been brilliant this season, top wicket taker and handy with the bat.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Mr M claimed that i said "Deonarine was better than Miller" when all i've done is point out the facts, i guess you never saw that.

But you did say it. And that brand of "facts" suggest that Chanderpaul is a greater batsman than Bradman. After all, he's scored more runs. Maybe we shouldn't drop him after all.

And ftr, I never said you said that. I purposely did not call any names.

FC cricket has nothing to do with ODI or OD cricket!

No you just "hinted" at it , and i'll repeat that i didn't say Deonarine was better i was just saying that when both got their chances against Australia one took wickets and the other didn't. so i don't see how you can claim that i said "Deonarine is better".

 

[WindieWeathers]

FC cricket has nothing to do with ODI or OD cricket!

And yet you don't use that logic when it comes to Miller!! .

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

And yet you don't use that logic when it comes to Miller!! .

Yes I do. I've always been an advocate of Miller playing Tests. Show me otherwise.

Because Miller's played Australia? What Miller are you thinking of?

 

[WindieWeathers]

Yes I do. I've always been an advocate of Miller playing Tests. Show me otherwise.

Come on Mr M, you always mention Miller's FC record when you call for him to replace Benn, but when i suggest Imran Khan should have been given a chance instead of Hinds due to his fantastic form this season you say "FC has nothing to do with ODI", it just stinks of double standards to me .

 

[WindieWeathers]

I was thinking of Miller's shocking ODI against Australia , maybe i should have mentioned his test match against Bangeldash instead then?

He only calls for Miller to replace Benn in Tests though. ODIs are not Tests.

 

[WindieWeathers]

He only calls for Miller to replace Benn in Tests though. ODIs are not Tests.

My argument is he uses Miller's Fc record to advocate his inclusion in the test side, i mention Khan's fc record this season to advocate him getting a chance in the ODI side instead of Hinds and he had a problem with it, it's double standards imo.

What?

I call for Miller for TESTS based on FC cricket.
You call on Khan for ODIs based on FC cricket. FC cricket has NOTHING to do with ODI cricket. How is this not getting through?
