Lets Discuss This !

this is the perfect setup for Clive to call up the youngsters

I see you chaps have high expectations from the big Cat!

Yes the pool to be developed but not because they have won a tournament in , as you call it, Dung Heap you want to elevate them without any development. I think you foolishly give the examples of Shiv, Sars and Lara.

Common sense tells you that is counter productive.

This is really like a Ramesh effort ketchim....sadly.

You seem to have cricketing knowledge but you cannot see beyond Guyana whilst most of us can.

I would have to say although I disagree with most of MAPPIPPEE'S views he is a West Indian. He does not unduly support Trinbagonians and he is objective.

To this end MAPPIPPEE has some respect from me.....

Ketchim you only seem to argue a Guyanese perspective and most times ruduce conversations to trivia....

This has got to be the DUMBEST post of the YEAR !

What then is the PURPOSE to WIN a Tourney at the U19 3 day and ODI Formats ??

To remain STATIC ?  to stay there until you cannot play after you pass age 19 ?

and then WALK the streets , Unemployed ??

Really !

Ketchim,

Richard has introduced a retainer system that should benefit young players. In the West indies we do not have a social benefit system so I know how difficult things are.

If any team wins  an U19 competition, INTERNAL, that is brillliant and they go through the system. This is not even  a WORLD event is it?

And for even a world event you should be taken through the rigours to feel value for your colours. From the 'recent' U19 WC it is only Holder who has emerged and he was so lauded but I do not think that much of him just yet.

Sadly you are of the view if Guyana won something, for which I am in celebration with you, then sod everything else Guyanese rule and that is terribly narrow sighted and sadly insular.

I am happy to debate genuine cricketing issues but stuff like this is mindless and lacks a genuine unified motivation....

I have never heard MAPPIPPEE celebrating how many Trinbagonians there might be in the Widies team.........

You are missing the Bus :

Bangladesh presents the International VENUE ...duh !

FOR these FUTURE stars .

Capiche ??

Retainer systems is not the be all nor end all :

It is actual PLAYING against non - dung heap !

Bangladesh present the perfect opportunity.

Why are you beind so MYOPIC ?

Cloudy vision from 7 Trinis and your boy Pybus ?????

AND you accuse me of Insularity.

This is extremely narrow minded and LACK context and perspective :

of the current Visiting touring XI ...

Folks , enter this discussion, please :

Chin and Mail are being extremely Insular and Myopic !

In your opinion should the Board SEIZE the opportunity of Exposing :

Fresh future candidates from the recently concluded U 19 Contest ?

against the visiting Bangladesh .

state your reasons.....thanks !
