I liked him when he debuted a few years back with some solid scores, and a fifty or two. But he really hasn't pushed on. Has been decent value for the 'A' team this year though, but seems to vary between success and failure too often for comfort. Then again, so has everyone else on these 'A' tours.Much of a rap for Kirk Edwards? doesn't have much of a record but going ok today?

He's captain. Obviously rates himself higher than mostDevon Smith has bowled 4 overs in this run chase. Thanks for taking it seriously, West Indies 'A'.
Strengthening his uncanny resemblance to Xavier.Obviously rates himself higher than most
I saw him make 19 runs in extremely bowler friendly conditions at Grace Road. Obviously it's difficult to judge a batsman on such a short sample but he played one off-drive which was text book in a way Dwayne Smith could never manage.Anyone actually seen Russell bat? Would be interested to know if he's more Symonds than DwSmith with his big-hitting.
He had reasonable control with the ball, certainly not a Powell or a Best in that regard, but his main strength appeared to be bowling wicket taking deliveries fairly regularly, including a pretty lethal bouncer which has cleaned up a number of batsman on this tour, whether they be Irish or Indian.Seems to be a confident guy. How is his control? On a scale of Powell to Ambrose?
When do you think he'll make his test debut Beamer? i love the fact that he's got genuine pace and height, plus he knows how to bat down the order which can be vital, also what do you think about Edwards? played a brilliant knock today!!.. does he have a chance?.He had reasonable control with the ball, certainly not a Powell or a Best in that regard, but his main strength appeared to be bowling wicket taking deliveries fairly regularly, including a pretty lethal bouncer which has cleaned up a number of batsman on this tour, whether they be Irish or Indian.
Russell may well get a chance soon considering the injury record of our good bowlers and the poor quality of our back up seamers. I think he may well have a decent international career ahead of him. But is he ready now? My gut feeling is probably not quite yet tbh.When do you think he'll make his test debut Beamer? i love the fact that he's got genuine pace and height, plus he knows how to bat down the order which can be vital, also what do you think about Edwards? played a brilliant knock today!!.. does he have a chance?.
Ah Mike...............A great start by the WI pacers!
They removed Gale, Trott and Bell all for a total of two runs between the three of them. Two wickets for Tonge, and one for Baker....
