I assume they are saving Barath for the first or second India Test, cause if his injury was that bad he would have been sent home by now, the last picture of saw of him was when he was standing up and clapping the guys on the balcony when we won the second ODi to clinch the series, he didn't look in any discomfort, really hope he's back soon though as i'd love to see him and Brathwaite bat together, those two are our future opening pair imo.

On that note, why do you guys think that he's so injury-prone?...In his short career so far, i don't recall him playing through a whole series yet without breaking down, he might've done but i just don't remember it. Do you think it's an issue with fitness, because he has that short, stocky physique, or is it just a case of him being unlucky?Westdem wrote:Barath is out of the squad for this series as he was replaced by Simmons...Last I heard that he will work with the Physio that is with the team...Maybe Afro gat some update on his recovery/non recovery...Any news on the fitness of Adrian Barath?

I dont see any reason of physique dat wud make Barath prone to injury. but by modern medical science the experts shud be able to tell wat is wat
is the wicb keen to get him the total kind of physical examination dat wud reveal all dat needs to be known about his physicality?
I have a kind of bline faith in the phiysical nature of the old life westindians lived, that tuffened up westindian so dat pain iand njury bounced-off our souls if deh were exposed.
the country life I advocated is no longer possible or acceptable of course ,but Barath shud get down instead to some serious physical training, over an extended period of time to solve his recurring injuries.
he needs to add cords of muscle where none prolly exist right now. he needs a physical foundation..soemthnbg the life we used to live gave us in the process of living
barath needs a program of constant walking...not running but walking...miles every day...at least 5 miles...at a park or training facility or both, on the grass, not cement surfaces. he can also hike if he wishes.
then he must do pushups, abdominals, squats etc, a program of military physical drilling wud not hurt. he may do a bit of running as well if he is inclined but on the grass and not more than a mile or 2.
I am not a fan of running for exercise save for athletes who actually run distances competitively.
if Barath is kept to such a regiment fo a year, and maitained by a constant, reduced program.... the parts of his body which break down all the time, will be tuffened right up and resist all manner of stress.
it is not enuff whatever Barath does at this time. he must do more, etsablish in his body a level of hardness, tuffness, that he must maintain right through by consistent program if he is to remain upright, in the team and playing

I think that so many of our rural cricketers play the game for the love of it, but don't do the physical work - a problem that also afflicted cricketers in India's team until recently. I believe Barath, Deonarine and Sarwan fall into that category. All three of them are injury-prone.
If Barath was on the road back to fitness, he would be named in that A team squad captained by Big Bravo. The fact that he's not seems to indicate that he may well be out of action for longer than we thought....
Talking of injuries, there are two key concerns ahead of tomorrow's second Test - Shiv and Simmons.

I think is due his physique indeed and that is the reason I think that different fitness regime should be designed to different players. I think that there is a one for all training for all but I may be wrong...Silvamaine wrote:On that note, why do you guys think that he's so injury-prone?...In his short career so far, i don't recall him playing through a whole series yet without breaking down, he might've done but i just don't remember it.

Another issue might be that he may be coming back before being fully healed.... -

I am confident that what I say is wat is the case with barath. of course his physicality must be known and the program designed to his needs.I think is due his physique indeed and that is the reason I think that different fitness regime should be designed to different players. I think that there is a one for all training for all but I may be wrong... Another issue might be that he may be coming back before being fully healed.... Westdem
but a program is necessary and at base barath is soft as opposed to the way westindians used to be hard from walking to school every day, walking to do all we needed to do, walking from town to home toting the goods, planting in the garden, climbinbg fruit trees, constant play..hoops, cricket, football etc etc.
all of dat is done in the westindies now and nothing physical has replced it. kids now do computers, look at Tv etc..modern couch potato things. we have lost the physical foundation that made Viv for example such an impressive physical specimen on the fields of the world.
we had players lik Kanhai, Kallie, ramadhim..never a day sick or injured. edwin mohammed, rudolph ramnarace and any number of players of Indo and Afro descent, playing and playing and playing without injury for long periods of time.
we have to develop programs of physical preparation to replace what we have lost in the change of the circumstanste of life we used to live
