Performed creditably in last ODI series, and didn't stink up the place completely in this season, average of 34

At this level you are satisfied with a 34 average? rolleyes

In reply to Runs

No but JC by comparison average 13. I'm jus saying he wasnt tht bad.

Selection is more based on character shown on last WI tour, he averaged 34 there too, 4th highest, giving him another shot

Like your team but Cornwall over Ambris for me

I do think we are a slow bowler short especially in the Caribbean vs England.

And that shot by Blackwood.... Is the reason he wasn't in my XI to begin with.

Carter I would expect to play a more responsible innings

I suspect Samuels may well take Blackwood's place. They will select him for his experience as this is a very green squad.

In reply to voiceofreason

Samuels ineligible... Did be play?

Isn't he playing in a league somewheres

If Sunil Ambris name was Stuart he would be in the squad ala Stuart Williams.The batting is so thin right now I still believe ambris should be in the squad at least. lol cool

JMo has been consistent for the past few seasons.

He averages over 40 in list A cricket.

I'm not convinced that after the same amount of matches Ambris will still average over 40

Which Powell?

McCarthy didn't really light up the scene but wasn't bad either kinda like Carter but he's been consistent over the last 2 seasons maybe 3, and scored a ton for the A team vs Lanka A last year.
So I would probably have him in the squad ahead of Ambris who should be on an A team, ideally there should be one as soon as the FC season is over.
