Pick you T20I squad to play India in Florida

 
Narper 2016-07-27 13:02:06 

West Indies ICC T20 World Cup 2016 Squad : Darren Sammy (c), Samuel Badree, Sulieman Benn, Carlos Brathwaite, Dwayne Bravo, Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher, Chris Gayle, Jason Holder, Evin Lewis, Ashley Nurse, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels, Jerome Taylor.


A few points ....

Will Sammy be replaced as Cappo for calling out the WICB?

Does Darren Bravo walk back in...after pulling out of the WC earlier this year?

What about the fitness of Gayle and Russell?

Would Russel be cleared in time?

Would Cooper ever be selected?

Emrit? Rampaul? Tarzan? Permaul?

Some of the WC stars have not been performing well in the CPL...this includes Narine ,Badree , Simmons, Fletcher and Benn

Others players like Jason Mo, Pooran and Charles have excelled

What about Kesrick Williams and Rovman Powell?

I will pick my team later

Pick yours wink

Narps! after all that time. Your condition has destroyed your conclusion.

agree

 
jacksprat 2016-07-27 15:05:33 

I think Sammy has played his last game for West Indies.

He was not contributing much with either the bat or anyway; and him exposing the vindictive WICB before an international did not help his case.

It is likely Pollard will reclaim his place in the team and be named captain

I like Anthony team but as a replacement for Holder or even Carlos Braithwaite ( cause he's been shotty since Bish says remember the name) I'll go with Emrit he deserves a shot

imusic 2016-07-27 17:52:25 

In reply to Narper

I have. And even if I didn't....it doesn't matter.

He is not a better T20 batsman than Simmons, either of the Bravo brothers, Samuels, or Pollard. Next after that lot is Pooran, Carter, Fletcher, Cornwall etc.

I agree that special players could jump the queue and be fast tracked into a senior team.

The only special batsman out there right now where they could say yeah....take a chance...is Pooran. And even then...I would play him strictly as a batsman. His wicketkeeping is poor to say the least

IF there was a WI T20 A team, Powell MIGHT make the squad. But a senior WI team? Now? In any format? No sah.

 
Narper 2016-07-27 18:36:51 

In reply to imusic

We need a #3 or #4 BATSMAN....doan give me allrounders....give me a pure batsman who can hit the ball cleanly...Powell fits the bill

The only middle order Samuels is now hit or miss...Lil B head deh somewhere else...Evin Lewis has a great chance too...but I don't think he is progressing

 
imusic 2016-07-27 18:54:17 

In reply to Narper

Powell fits the bill

Based on how many innings again?

Allyuh on kicks yes


Answer these questions
Is Powell special?

Is he better than Pooran?

If your answer to any one of those questions is NO.....powell cyah be anywhere near any west indies senior team at the moment.

The hit and miss Samuels was the man of the match in the last 2 WT20s.

Really you guys personify the problem with the WICB, looking to dump players who gave you results instead of building.

The only change I would make is to bring in Pollard for Sammy, and bring Pooran along as he has had positive performances in more than one CPL tournament.

Chris Gayle
Johnson Charles
Lendl Simmons
Marlon Samuels
Dwayne Bravo
Keiron Pollard
Denesh Ramdin
Carlos Brathwaite
Jason Holder
Sunil Narine
Andre Russell

If you notice I have Samuels is in my team.

But has Samuels been consistent?...making runs every 5-6 innings is not good for a weak team...when you are the ONLY batsman

BTW Samuels is averaging only 29 in T20Is

In the past he provided the spin bowling option...now he does not bowl

For me...Powell looks special
Why does he have to be better than Pooran...there are at least 3 batting places in the middle order in a team...
Btw pooran averages 34.6 from 6 innings while Powell is averaging 34.2 from 8 innings wink
