What makes Bidiasee the best find?

Don't see the hype behind this Gaston fella...

Simmonds and Edwards look far better in this tournament. When I checked the stats for Gaston its similar to Oshane Thomas, so how de rass is he amongst the best finds for the tournament?

In my opinion, the best find of this tournament is Akeem Auguste.

I can understand you argument. You went based on hid stats in thid his inaugural CPL. But he is a fine/skilled young talent.

Bookmark. As time passes you may well have a different opinion

Simmonds looks like the leftarm seamer were looking for.

Ackeem Auguste I am well acquainted with his skills and talent and won't be surprised if he turns out to be a top WI batter. The find of the tournament

In all honesty none of the other Leggies have been given a fair try and same goes for the left arm pacers.

Ackeem Auguste
Ramon Simmons

These two players have exhibited consistency and skill.

Sampson had one good inning, want to see more.

Sampson has good hands and a good ball striker.

Since he is plucked put from tape ball cricket I want to see more of him against different types of bowlers and conditions to decide

Example, can he play genuine pace or on more tricky surfaces?

Just got out to a bouncer from Rutherford. I am not convinced about his onside play. He will be tested going forward.

People need to relax with this whole plucked out of tape ball nonsense.

Sampson playing hard ball cricket in Guyana years now. Before this CPL he even made his debut for Guyana in the super50.

He represented Essequibo at the senior inter-county level for the past 5+ years. Plays first division cricket for Police in G/town where he scored a number of tons.

He's not an unknown.
