The Rampaul Test

[mikesiva]

Rampaul has not only led the bowling, but has also been one of our more consistent batsmen, during two Tests against Pakistan and one against India. That said, Rampaul is a pace bowler who can bat a bit, and any batsman worth his salt should be performing better than him. Here are the stats from the last three Tests:

1) Adrian Barath - ave 51 (102 runs)
2) Shiv Chanderpaul - ave 39 (116 runs)
3) Marlon Samuels - ave 31 (63 runs)

4) Ravi Rampaul - ave 29 (116 runs)

5) Darren Bravo - ave 28 (166 runs)
6) Lendl Simmons - ave 21 (124 runs)
7) Darren Sammy - ave 17 (104 runs)
8) Carlton Baugh - ave 10 (62 runs)
9) Ronnie Sarwan - ave 9.5 (57 runs)
10) Brendan Nash - ave 9 (54 runs)
11) Kraigg Brathwaite - ave 7.5 (15 runs)
12) Devon Smith - ave 7 (14 runs)

So, only three batsmen passed the Rampaul Test, and one of them was inexplicably omitted from this team....

If Kirk Edwards plays, he's another batsman who will fail the Rampaul Test....

How funny is it that Darren scored the most runs and yet his average is below the others?!! i guess the few "not outs" that Shiv and Rampaul got bump up dem average ,

Furthermore hating on Edwards will not bring back Nash, the man is DONE now and Shiv will be next if he doesn't get his old rass in order!!..so instead of focussing on Kirk hows about asking why Shiv can't even get a 50 these days?

A series average of 28 - and falling - is nothing to shout about....

Bravo might be the one who's next if he doesn't get his young rass in order, and sit down to try to pass The Rampaul Test.
