Shouldn't the only "stats" that matter is that Samuels has more 100's, more 50's and more runs than Nash at test level? or are you just gonna move the goalposts to suit your argument AGAIN Mike?Exactly, roseboy....
They are two different formats of the game, Windie.
On the first point, it's a poor point to be accusing posters of supporting Nash just because they're Jamaican when you don't declare your own background. That kind of discussion belongs on a parochial site. I'm sure you can find some threads on caribbeancricket.com that are low enough for that kind of discussion. If it's nobody's business where you're from, then do the decent thing, and stop accusing other posters of parochialism in their support of Nash. We can rely on you to do the decent thing, right?
Secondly, I have always maintained that stats are one of the most important criteria for discussion. If you'd done your research, you'd see that Samuels' stats are not that impressive. What's his average in Test cricket? Also, he's been out of cricket for a while now. He needs to play for Jamaica first, and earn a callup to the WIndies side, just like everyone else....
thirdly, I don't know Gibson, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that there's no way he would follow your line of half-baked thinking when it comes to Test selections!
Fourthly, Bravo and Barath were inconsistent with the bat on the tour Down Under. Both scored 104 runs each, with Barath averaging 34 and Bravo 29. That tour average was inferior to Nash's, which was 41. Nash outperformed both Barath and Bravo with the bat during that tour. End of story....
So, if you are really going to discuss Deonarine coming into the side to replace someone, then clearly Nash is not that man.
as for your "parochialism" claim, i just called it how i saw it, three out of four people backing Nash had relations to Jamaica, a coincidence? i doubt it, and actually there are three formats to the game Mike!!, and of course i'm fully aware of them, but unlike you i'm taking into account his knocks in both the tests and Odi's in Australia and the charater he showed to win us the series against Zimbabwe, HE'S A MAN ON FORM and that's important going into the series with South Africa, he's also man who has better batting ability than Nash, something you seem oblivious to, lastly no-one knows what Gibson is thinking, so acting like your do is a frivolous exercise to be honest.
