Sounds like Afro doing his tweeting for him....

Corbin had better realise that fans pay to watch the Windies, and if he's going to have that arrogant attitude, fans won't pay to watch him. He also needs to realise that if he doesn't produce runs soon, he will be sitting around with us over 'there' too.

Mike just to answer this inaccurate statement from you on sissy.com

Let's see how long the godfather mafia can keep players like Corbin in the side if he continues to fail with the bat against weak sides like the Bangladesh reserves. Instead of verbally answering his critics, he needs to answer with the bat, and actually make runs for a change....

For a start two of the Bang bowlers PLAYED AGAINST THE WI SENIOR TEAM THE OTHER DAY and took wickets, those were Shuvo and Nasir, plus two or three of the batting order have test experience, so in effect half the side have played at a higher level then the majority of our team, so i wouldn't call them "reserves" .

The fact is you've always spouted the same tedious line "they have to make runs at regional level first" AND HE DID, so he earned his corn already, hopefully he'll put in a better performance tomorrow but it can't be helpful when he's forced to open the batting which isn't what he does for CCC.

Afro Corbin had a lot of runs put also played the most matches. His average was also low at 33 and you will also see although he scored runs he also had 5 ducks in the tournament which must also indicate something.

That said i have the least problem with him and have more problems with chandrika, carter thomas and now brooks. bonner and hyatt also didnt light up the place but they scored runs in the last match albeit its bangladesh second string team.

the damm blasted problem is one imposed on corbin.

corbin is not a freaking opening batsman. if we are going to ask him to do an unfamliar job we are likely going to have to give him time to adjust.

the young man is prolly struggling with what the wicb has asked him to do and is fraustrated having to deal with that and fan criticism.

Corbin is a wicket-keeper batsman and dat is how the wicb shud select him...not as opening batsman.

the wicb shud do its job of making hard and proper selections when ti is necessary. and the selction between corbin and devon thomas is not hard at all.

Corbin is the selection that shud be made first and stuck with for a while to see if he is the real solution...not Thomas.

from wat i can see thomas does not have it and he is being forced by the wicb and HPC. ( I think Kieran Powell is another selection like that. that bowy is not ready yet there he is opening westindies batting)

play corbin as keeper/batsman stop with the opening gambit

Yes he had five ducks but when he got in HE SCORED BIG, that's why he's considered a very decent talent, he got one ton but at least two of the five 50s he got were in the 90s, so he could have easily got three tons in the competition if he'd lasted a little longer, also he only played one more match than Fletcher so i'm not sure that's a valid argument.

afro as i said i have the least problem with corbin. as was said maybe he should be keeping and batting lower down and drop thomas.

i think although others did better than him i would stick with him only if he takes the gloves. thomas chandrika, carter, brooks need to go and do well in regional cricket and their picks are not merited.

It doesn't matter that two of their bowlers played against our senior team...that just shows how stupid and idiotic it is for our selectors to pick untried youngsters to compete against them. As I've said before - and as joshua has also said before - the A team needs to be a mix of youth AND experience. If you ignore that fact, and pick players who have no experience, it doesn't make sense excusing their failures by saying that their opponents are experienced....

And let me remind you - this is Bangladesh's reserves. Did you hear me? BANGLADESH's reserves! Not India, England, or Australia, but Bangladesh's RESERVES!

Corbin needs to realise that any criticism he's received for his poor performance in the first 'Test' was wholely deserved, and that he needs to stop making silly comments like 'I got selected and you didn't, so shut up', and buckle down and produce the runs to show that he deserved to be picked for the team....

Yes, he's scored more runs than the other bunch of jokers who were picked for this A team, and probably deserves his place more than most of them, but he still needs to produce runs at this level to deserve holding on to that spot. That's what I meant by what I said....

Give corbin his gloves back and send him at 6 or 7. dats the solution. let him score tons there. thats where deh are needed

The problem is the "Experience" you're pushing forward such as Ganga and Hinds ARE OVER THE HILL AND PROVEN FAILURES, so there really isn't much point wasting spaces on them IMO, up to now the A-team has been bearing fruit, Barath, Darren Bravo, Edwards, Brathwaite etc HAVE ALL PASSED THROUGH THE SYSTEM , so why change things now? the main goal is to PREPAR YOUNG TALENT for the senior team, the A-team results don't really matter.
