Look out for an Anderson Cummins-like boycott when they reach the Mecca.

Angel replaces Benn.
Benn dropped for Gabriel. Bishoo gonna bannuhs!
In reply to Courtesy
Four Quicks can unsettle the British. But is he the right pacer?- his pace is decent. But is he another Patrick Patterson.

Thanks for the info
If they put Gabriel in for Benn in Grenada I don't blame Admin fuh self-imposed exile.
In reply to nick2020
I could of swear Gabriel was in ANU.
Either way don't see Gabriel playing. The XI I think would just have Benn being replaced by Bishop.
Remember you don't change a winning team. Lol
In reply to nick2020
but Benn has been really ineffective no? I think maybe I can do a better job...
I wonder who will become the new scapegoat.

naah...dem have Opiss and his motherland pommies to cheer
In reply to positiveg
winning team?
thought it was a draw
Not a bad change.
Gabriel performed well in his last Test-and-a-half appearances. I t was a bit surprising to see him omitted for the first Test.
I still think Permaul was more deserving of a spot in the squad than Bishoo, but Benn's omission increases Bishoo's chances of making the final XI.
That was inevitable. But this is where I think Lloyd and them will miss a trick. England is going to bring in Moeen Ali (if fit) as a spinning variety. So unless Gabriel is being brought in as cover for Roach (who was not looking so fit) i see no reason for Bishoo not playing. If the wicket is gonna be flat as North Sound, or even a little more lively, I think a spinner is a better pick than four of the same type of bowler. But knowing Lloyd and his fear of spinners, he will play a four prong even when we do not have four quality bowlers.

i dont see Gabriel as a decent replacement for Benn but I just heard it announced
..maybe they see something in the pitch that we dont
In reply to powen001
See my post for my view.
In reply to dale_staple
boom...
THats actually how I feel too mate.
I was expecting to hear Bishoos name
and Gabriel for Roach makes more sense...Roach is not his best all tournament
A half fit Roach is still better than Gabriel.
In reply to Commie
Ah one foot Roach is better than Gabriel... Roach pace improving.. only time before he's back to his best
I have to watch this guy again because I don't know what they see in Gabriel
In reply to methodic
I do not know either. He is quickish yes. But he bowls as straight as an arrow and neither swings the ball nor moves it off the seam.
In reply to dale_staple
yes he is quickish but he doesn't bowl a quick spell and he falls into mid eighties by his second spell
In reply to Narper
U all lucky rass that we placed Opiss in the enemy camp. He is now Mr Trojan Horse to you!

Agent Double 'O'
In reply to methodic
True. Hence is selection is a surprise to me. I figured they would blood one of the younger more promising quicks.
What the
a man got five (5) wickets in a match against the #3 test team, and yet he is not fit...what the eff I hearing...
Somebody should tek way allyuh computers...
BTW, Taylor got 5 wickets in that game and he is fit.
Bunch of kissmeass followers
In reply to Commie
Marlon Samuels....Who else!! But then, it depends on whom will be doing the scapegoating
In reply to TheTrail
Roach had to leave the field for an extensive period during the first innings. Did u watch the game or not. He is not 100% fit.
In reply to dale_staple
Who are you to know if he is a 100% fit or not?
In reply to TheTrail
when last was Roach fully fit?
In reply to TheTrail
Park the emotion..
I know you know the truth..
Roach is not 100%...as most cricketers would play with barely 65% efficiency but when it comes to bowlers in particular...managing them is always best.
Roach is not at his lethal best- plain for all to see.
In reply to TheTrail
calm down Trail,
I think he should be pull until he back healthy, I know he your hommie, u could placed MC in the slot.
In reply to positiveg
Bishoo will get the start then! in all honesty Benn was poor in that first test, without him we probably could have won the match.
In reply to NormBishoo is the water boy for this series for the OZ series Permaul will get his turn to carry water Lloyd will stick to his motto never again will he ever play a spinner
Bishoo should be the direct replacement for Benn. If we lean towards Pace it has to be Carlos Brathwaite.
In reply to Norm
i'm not impressed with gabriel, he does nothing with the ball and doesn't look like a cricketer.
In reply to Wally-1
True. He dosent look like taking wickets either.
So even up replacement, a wicket or two after giving up too many runs and he cant bat just like Benn
In reply to dale_staple
Clive lloyd and I may add the other selectors do not select the the playing X1--they have selected the 14 players that are in the squad,it is then left to the coach,captain and possibly manager to select the playing X1
In reply to TheTrail... that's why he not fit ... only 5 wickets? If he was fit he would have taken 10.
Maybe Benn would have done better if he had had the Windies' batsmen to bowl at....
Go look at Roach's wickets in the first innings, they pretty much all came from nothing deliveries. The same way Larr says Bishoo takes wickets because of luck, well, that was the case with Roach.
In reply to Devin
The key questions regarding Bishoo are:
1 is he consistent in being able to achieve a decent length and line---many leggies are not?
2 has he learned the googly and top spinner among other variations?
Why is Deo not being given loads of development help to bowl his Off spin and play as a spinner batting at 7 or 8?????
In reply to moneybrain
Deo is a complete waste of time man, come on. Leggies generally bowl one garbage delivery per over. Bishoo has the variety, it's whether he's developed the confidence to dip in to his bag of tricks.
