Central contract Class A
has any team ever lost every match in a multi-game 3-format series?
No surprises in the team. At least selectors cannot be accused of chopping and changing the squad. The only real casualty has been Chandrika and he can't complain about not being given a fair run. And I'm sure he still in the picture. Just need to wheel and come again.
Vishal Singh might also be a little disappointed but with the emergence of Roston Chase, Blackwood's performances against India, and Samuels still in the picture, there's simply no room YET for him. His opportunity will come.

The problem with the team is not selecting an opener from the last 4-day tournament.
I was under the impression that Samuels had announced his retirement after the India series. Surprised to see him. With his performance in The Indian series I do not think he deserves a chance

Hype not in the team?
In reply to Pacy
Maybe the powers-that-be begged Samuels to stay? It's not like this team is full of experience without him....
Joke squad--Prepared for us to lose in two days
