Why aren't you calling out the players averaging less than Shiv in that series?
Well my comment was merely related to your "stats" line and i was just wondering why you never talk about his stats from the Sri-lanka tour!! :mrgreen: , the fact is he's been poor for over a year now, poor in Australia in 09, average at home to SA and poor again in Sri-lanka, that poor form continued in the world cup too which is why he was dropped, so no, it's not just about "one series".

if all the rest of the skunte picks had made 40 plus in the last game like Shiv, WI would have saved faced!

Shiv had a bad series, period!

WI cappo/coach, droppped him instead of giving him more opportunitues to spend time at the wicket. That was what screwed WI up.

Shiv should have opened the batting with Gayle in ALL of the games, except for injury (to either).

But the way it was handled, it seemed that it once SHiv failed they rest him then played a more out of form Shiv in a critical game! Looks like he was setup to fail! :evil:

[quoteWell it's a pity he holds prejudice views where Nash is concerned then!! .][/quote]

Afro is prolly a hanle that hides a soul who is not African westindian. I am prejudice as far as snash is concerned? Me...a man who lives in white racism on a 27/7 basis, me a man wit' no power to carry out prejucide but who is on the receiving end of it constantly.

its as is if snash is at the receivng end of racism and prejudice daily instead of the other way around. it is as if snash is not an impostion on the westindies side and were he not white of skin colour, in the very same situation is it very likely he would have long been sent packing, neve included by the wicb.

how could it be that a blac man, having gone through all he and his people have, find appreciation for the process that led to snahs inclusion so easily, and snash himself as beneficiary, with no complaint, no fight, no analysis... nutten. then call me prejudice in the process for not wanting this insult to the westindies in our team.

incredible!

So one 40 is meant to wipe out all the poor performances he had before that? :shock: where was Shiv against South Africa? where was Shiv against Ireland? where was Shiv against Holland? :roll: he was becoming a massive liability IMO and was rightly dropped, and apart from making low scores in the earlier games he was also slowing down the run rate which was another thing that was hurting the teams prospects.

Shiv will go when the time is right but there is NO worthy replacement at this time. Let me REPEAT, NO WORTHY replacement. Who could fill Shiv boots ?

Players have to earn their spots.. If they want to compete, let them bat do the talking like Shiv.

BTW, Afro is talking about Test .. I gave him the stats for the team in my original post and he is spinning. :)

Bally! yuh shud stop arguing for shive in the negative, as if he is worthy of a plce by default...uh know: there is no one else so we must stay with him.

that is not the case at all. for 17 years shive has demonstrated class beyond the ordinary. it is on that basis you play him. bad patch or decline, we have to dind out. we must play him to do so. if its a bad pacth we win. if he is declined beyond value then its time for hm to go.

Again you don't know me so please quit making silly assumptions!!.

I amprejudice as far as snash is concerned. Me...a man who lives in white rasim on a 27/7 basis, me amn wit no power to carry out prejucide but who is on the receiving end of it constantly.
Well you admit you're prejudice so why you slinging mud at me for stating a fact?!! :roll:

its as is snash is at the receivng end of racism and prejudice daily instead of the other way around. it is as if snash is not an impostion on the westindies side wnd were he not white of sking colour, in the very same situation is it very likely he would have long been sent packing, never, cluded by the wicb.
Nash isn't the first white guy to play for WI you know!!..ever heard of Jackie Hendricks who is one of the best wicket-keepers WI have ever had? IT WAS'NT NASH'S FAULT THAT HIS PARENTS MOVED TO AUSTRALIA BEFORE HE WAS EVEN BORN!!..so what did you expect him to do? leave Australia as a kid on his own and come back to Caribbean to learn cricket? :lol: at the end of the day he showed his dedication by moving to Jamaica a few years ago and putting in the hard work at regional level, why can't you respect that instead of harping on about other issues unrelated to cricket?

how could it be that a blac man, having gone through all he and his people have, find appreciation for the process that led to snahs inclusion sp easily, and snash himself as beneficiary, with no complaint, no fight, no analysis... nutten. then call me prejudice in the process for not wanting this insult to the westindies in our team.

incredible!
Like i said before i had my reservations about Nash too when i first heard he was being picked for WI but he's won me over with his consistent performances, and right now WI need every decent player we can get, bringing up Nash's name whilst speaking on the issues black people have had to face in life is unfair imo, when WI were ruling the world and touring Australia who do you think was inviting OUR BLACK CRICKET TEAM over for dinner and cooking for them? IT WAS NASH'S PARENTS!!, so just think about that before you slag off Nash again.

MARLON SAMUELS OR EVEN SARWAN!!.. me tell you already but me guess you nah see it properly!! :mrgreen:

Players have to earn their spots..
And players have to KEEP their spots too, and right now Shiv doesn't deserve to keep his.

let them bat do the talking like Shiv.
Funny that cause i didn't hear a word out of his bat against SL!! :lol:

"Spinning"? no i just told you that "stats" can suit any argument which is why you failed to come forth with Shiv's "stats" from the SL series!! :D .

It doesn't matter, you have your views and i don't share them, it's no big deal we're all WI fans at the end of the day!! 8-) , it's not like Nash will be around forever anyway, my biggest hopes remain with the youngsters anyway because i believe they are seriously talented and can take WI forward in the next three to four years.
