Anybody know what happened to this guy? Appeared against South Africa a couple of years back with an excellent FC record (not saying that means much in Carib Beer Cup) under his belt and was apparently quite sharp, took a hammering (as did every bowler in that test) and dosent seem to have played any FC cricket since , he's only 24.

Apparently Liam (Camps) was fairly convinced his action was dodgy, don't know if that played a part in anything.

He can't get into the Jamaica team as they have Jerome Taylor, Andrew Richardson, Jermaine Lawson and Darren Powell.

I thought his action was fine in terms of legality, but he was a 75-80 mph bowler, and just didn't look test class.

I do agree though that giving a guy 1 test on the flattest track in the Caribbean is not very fair.

There are a number of people like Washington who can't get a game in FC cricket even though they have good stats. Jason Bennett averages 22 per wicket and takes 4 wickets per match, and yet he can't get a place in the Barbados side ahead of Fidel Edwards, Tino Best and Pedro Collins.

Fair assessment that as well as him not performig brilliantly in club cricket.
