Only for the Test Team. Narine will get his chance again. You cah pick Narine over men who performing better than him in Test. Narine test record ain't that special.

A Cricinfo response

Quote
"If it were Shikhar Dhawan you would have settled in for a century but that's the problem with WI batsmen, when they're in good touch they try to ride that form into extravagance rather than accumulation. I suppose they all think they're going to go on like some latter day Viv Richards and blast 100 of 60 balls rather than settle in like a Cook or Amla and craft a big score. But when a guy like Sammy (i.e. the king of get-yourself-out) is their captain what can you expect".

Watching Sachin is like watching Yorke play for Man U.
I want him to do well, but I want India to lose

As I type, Shillingford gets him!

82/4

Narine ain't seeing that Test Team anytime soon. Shillingford destroying India. Gets Kohli. 4 wickets

This partnership is worth 190 odd and nowhere the captain see it fit,to give Gayle Samuels or even Chanderpaul atleast one over to take a wicket,neither did the coach see it fit to make such a recommendation to that effect.
This is just maddening

what did he do afterwards? no wickets for 2 sessions? >:(

how the hell is permaul selected ahead of narine? and they have sammy spot secure and he cant bowl to save his life on this pitch..

narine is the top bowler in the world in odi and 20/20, where the hell is shillingford? he doesnt even turn the ball much... narine would have devastated this attack, hence the reason india told wicb not to select him for this tour...

Breds its doesnt matter how well he performs in the other formats he got chances and didnt deliver.


narine is the top bowler in the world in odi and 20/20, where the hell is shillingford? he doesnt even turn the ball much... narine would have devastated this attack, hence the reason india told wicb not to select him for this tour...

T20/ODI and Test cricket is totally different. Being a good ODI or T20 player doesn't mean you can automatically be a good Test Player big difference. Why you don't ask why Chanderpaul not on the T20 team? Yet he is one the best Test batsmen currently.

where the hell is shillingford?
They dont pick him to play ODI and T20 because Narine Performs better in those formats, the same way Pollard is not a Test player

Narine wasn't selected for the 2 Test against Zimbabwe did India cause that too? You really believe India telling WICB who to pick? The team is practically unchanged from the past 4 or so Test Matches.

and they have sammy spot secure and he cant bowl to save his life on this pitch..

Becuase Sammy is the Captain  :devil: ask WICB that. He aint lose 6 Test matches in a row so it hard to drop him that easy


what did he do afterwards? no wickets for 2 sessions? >:(

how the hell is permaul selected ahead of narine

4 Wickets not enough? The pitch got slower plus Shillingford is not the only bowler on team eh, If Narine had get 4 wickets im sure your tone would be different. When next Narine get his chance tell him get some wickets. Narine also went Bangladesh and failed to get Wickets. I too want him in Test but so far he hasn't delivered.

Gayle and Tino Best shouldn't be in the team.

Honestly I don't think any team selection right now will save us. We just don't have Test players good enough simple as that.

Chanders is the only one left to put up a fight after Gayle and Powell out. I would use the second Test to give the ones on the bench a game. We cah get worse than this.
