Bravo and Pollard

do not belong on the WC squad a catch or two will not get you on the WC squad they need to make runs and they failed when given the chance..

People should be fighting for KB to be on the squad, if they want to fight. Him not being selected is a an injustice but I do not see the great "ambassadors" of WI cricket saying peep on this board.

You seriously think KB is a limited over cricketer?

If you want someone who can stick around and stitch an inning together, go with Shiv, who at least has a 2nd gear.

As for bravo & polly, their batting is not suited for these low & slow pitches. They need a pitch where the ball comes on and not one that turns big from ball 1.

Seriously, who did make runs at the QPO this tournament?

Does it matter? You really see Polly making runs on that wicket? Bravo tried to do the right thing and tough it out but hit a long hop straight to the fielder.

The real point is that the wickets in the WC are going to be NOTHING like that strip. Actually, I feared Guyana because they had the spinners to best use the conditions. Turned out that one Narine was better than a Permaul, a Bishoo & a Jacobs.
