Selectors picked a mediocre team in an attempt to spite experienced players, without any concernation about the embarrassment to the region. For if they are not capable of beating a regional team, we are in greater trouble than originally envisioned especially when playing against world ranking teams during Tri-nation matches. Wi selectors have lost their WI cricket pride, despite our dominance of T20 cricket which featured our experienced players blended with younger players. Why not do the same for ODI and test cricket?

 
Acid 2016-05-25 22:14:26 

240 all out in 47.1 overs

 
VIX 2016-05-25 23:15:40 

I repeat, the WI A-team squad is better than the first team

matchstick 2016-05-26 10:17:52 

Not a bad showing... Some of the regulars should have gotten better scores tho.

Jason Holder
Kieron Pollard
Sunil Narine
Carlos Brathwaite
Jerome Taylor

did not play... all 1st XI guys in the squad that was picked.

 
analyst-kid 2016-05-26 10:27:24 

only good thing is that the spinners Benn and Motie didn't do bad.

 
analyst-kid 2016-05-26 10:31:31 

The reality is that the players in the Barbados team: Phillips, Chase, Stoute,Brooks,Hope, Mayers are just as good as those in that WI team.

 
goliath 2016-05-26 10:54:10 

In reply to analyst-kid

Can't argue with you sir...I think Stoute is a good future ODI player

 
analyst-kid 2016-05-26 11:17:17 

In reply to goliath

I don't like Stoute as a captain at all. Check and see Kyle Mayers the LEADING ALLROUNDER of the last Nagico 50OVERS TOURNAMENT was not bowled!

Stoute does that all the time...he would stifle all the allrounders of his type in a side!

In reply to nick2020

Bro only Darren Bravo and arguably Ramdin based on the consistency you mentioned would be ahead of these Bajan players.

At one day level Charles,Fletcher,Samuels and Carter are all inconsistent performers of late.

Yup. The West Indies team should really be Barbados

 
analyst-kid 2016-05-26 15:57:47 

In reply to imusic

not saying that at all...I was merely comparing the WI players in that side with the Bajan players. I stated Darren Bravo and Ramdin might very well be ahead of the entire pack.

 
imusic 2016-05-26 16:06:26 

In reply to analyst-kid

The West Indies team should comprise the best players regardless of territory no?

A ODI team looking like this

K Brathwaite
D Smith
S Hope
R Chase
J Carter
S Dowrich
C Brathwaite
J Holder - capt
S Benn
K Roach
M Cummings


would be AT LEAST as good as any other West Indies combination no?

 
analyst-kid 2016-05-26 16:42:31 

In reply to imusic

again I am referring to THAT WI team that played the Barbados Select XI.

however of that team you put I only see FIVE who I deem eligible for a ODI team namely

Brathwaite
Dowrich
Brathwaite
Holder
Benn

...based on his Nagico performance I would include Mayers.

 
analyst-kid 2016-05-26 16:46:53 

My WI team

Charles
Brathwaite
Bravo
Samuels
Holder
Pollard
Ramdin
Brathwaite
Narine
Benn
Taylor

Fletcher and Charles deserve their play after a great T20 WC but Kraigg ave 70+ in Nagico would force his way in.

Look at that team, where are the middle order batting, or your main bowlers?
This is not T20 cricket, man stick to music.
Let me just say, I have a problem with players we call all-rounders in the region, none of them can be consider to batman or bowlers.

Taylor is below average
Benn is hit or miss
Narine can be call at anytime
Who you're left with, Carlos, Jason and Powell, three guys that is not close to being one good bowler, give me a iffing break.
Teams need bowlers and batsman, you team lack both.

 
imusic 2016-05-26 17:16:24 

In reply to openning

How many regional batsmen and bowlers would you consider "batsman and bowlers"?

Allyuh want all rounders to make same or more runs than those whose only job is to make runs. Similarly. Allyuh want all rounders to take same or more wickets than those whose only job is to take wickets

And to make it even more comical, Allyuh want wicketkeepers to make same or more runs than those who selected only to score runs.

lol

Base on regional standards quite a few
Not many of them are all-rounders.

I never would had selected Sammy, Bravo, Pollard, Holder, Russell in any 50 overs or test team
I like Ramdin as keeper, Gayle still better than most, so he will make my team in all format.

In reply to openning

Sammy, Bravo, Pollard, Holder, Russell in any 50 overs or test team

Bravo, Russell, and Pollard have better FC and List A batting everages than most regional "batsmen"


Bravo and Russell have better FC and List A bowling averages than most regional pacers too.

Even Sammy has better bowling averages than most regional medium pacers

If you NOT selecting them....especially when it come to Limited Over cricket....you're either biased, an ass, or both.

Can you list three regional batsman, they have better batting stats than?

Bravo and Russell have better FC and List A bowling averages than most regional pacers too.

Even Sammy has better bowling averages than most regional medium pacers

Stick to looking at T20 stats, every fan knows the spinners get the bulk of bowling and wickets, and guys like Rampaul and others get to bowl in the power play overs.

 
Commie 2016-05-26 19:55:31 

In reply to imusic

The answer is NO.

There is no reason to keep selecting someone like Pollard with his 24 average because he somehow earned the right to keep it there.

Give alternate players a real opportunity to establish themselves.

All those guys had close to over 100 matches to be shit.

Bossman, how can you seriously pick Gayle? Don't you think it's time to move on and groom someone? Gayle can't run, or just refuses to, and you have to hide him in the field for 50 overs.

If you check the cupboard, you will find it empty at the opening position in all formats, apart from Chris, Kraigg Brathwaite is the only youngster, that can hold the opening slot in test.
I would keep Gayle to work with Kraigg in test and Evin Lewis in the other two formats

Mayers or Stoute for Roach in that Bajan team though.
