Without Gayle, Simmons, Bravo, Russell, Bravo, Pollard, Narine, Samuels WI is the weakest ODI team and we will struggle to beat Afghanistan at the moment.
Fresh from our just cincluded regional tournament and playing in familiar pitches at home, we cannot beat a rather ordinary British team fresh from the cold.
And more, we did not even come close.
A captain who cannot earn is place based on merit an opener who is suited only for long form cricket, and a few part timers.
We do not deserve to go to the world Cup
Make no mistake , the players are not to be blamed, the cancer called the WICBC who have fired, frustrated and alienated players once they become stars is alone responsible.
Our young players are thrown in the deep without the guidance of the stars playong along them.
They fire home grown coaches, hire massa and other foreigners to futher ruin our game.

Weakest ODI Team
In reply to Emir
Aren't "we dancing now"?
or
"- di inversion of reality has been reversed.
Dat is all."
How much year since HHG left de scene?
In reply to Emir
At the very least, massa weren't suicidal and kill their own like those of your type! WI cricket will grow better without Trinis, they are too self centered and feel like they are always the victim!
In reply to Emir
It is a very weak team. The team lacks confidence, and killer instinct.
In reply to Emir
You are a postor i enjoy interacting with but this post has disappointed me
all these guys were already there and we still got clobbered time and time again....is this not true
he did not ask for the captaincy, i am positive without this burden he would have developed beyond where he is now, but the captain does not win on his own, you have missed the purpose of that opener, his role is to hold one end while the quick scorers go.... they have not been going
Make no mistake , the players are not to be blamed, the cancer called the WICBC who have fired, frustrated and alienated players once they become stars is alone responsible[/b]
what about the players' responsibility... why do we ignore it all the time, it has to be give and take
irresponsible and insular

So, you totally ignore my blame on the WICBC shoulders and why are you so upset by the mere mention of the stars?
What have they done? I guess Cameron and CO are saviors.
WOUNDIES are always weak
In reply to WestDemMan fcuk you!Trinis are most likely to be the victims,allyuh always talking bout dis one and dat one in Muddie,never a word about JMo,look at him at the moment,should have been a regular on our ODI team over the last 2 or 3 years.Fcuk off wid yuh shit,wot the rass wrang wid yuh telling de man bout dem killing their own,is Emir from Iraq,stick to cricket instead of politics.
In reply to hawk
Those players pointed out won a WC for us and are way better than who we now have.
In reply to Emir
The reality is that the WICB is such a toxic brand that players don't feel the desire to play 50-overs and Test cricket for the West Indies. T20 cricket is their way to fame and fortune now.
They can play for their country in the CPL during the summer, and they can earn money in the leagues around the world at other times. That's the motivation now....
In reply to granite
The best way to deal with that poster's hate is to ignore- most peeps in here ignore her completely.
In reply to mikesiva
And the reality is it is a very vicious cycle- as these young players become mature and gain stardom, the WICBC will also have problems with them and those players will take the same action as the stars of today are doing.
So we will never have our best players representing WI, we will always be "rebuilding" while the regional boards and the WICBC will keep earning their fat salaries.
In reply to Emir
What have they done? I guess Cameron and CO are saviors.
those names mentioned have not performed consistently enough for the West Indies and is currently not part of the set up, wishing they were here is pointless to say the least. The flaws with the WICB is well known by all and sundry, added to that, all other boards have their flaws, but cricket still has to be played and we cannot continue to fault the board only, our players are under performing and they are the ones who have to lift their game regardless of the circumstances. case in point South Africa...faced with a mass exodus of players...are they not still performing???
In reply to granite
those players are no available to represent us many of them have indicated they are not interested in the longer formats....let us move on and stop wishing
In reply to camos
well someone have to accept it, which would mean some sacrifice, his development will be slower, but he is getting better albeit at snails pace
Scoring over 200 consistently means that this team IS NOT the weakest ODI team.
They restricted Eng who was consistently scoring over 300 again showing that this team IS NOT the weakest ODI team.
But this team has the weakest CAPTAIN and the weakest ALLROUNDERS.
Carlos Brathwaite is avg 13.84 with the bat and 21 wkts @ 44.80.
It means he hardly takes wickets and h hardly finishes well.
Jason Holder avgs 23.22 with the bat and 68 wkts @ 32.61 with the ball.
It means he is an ok ODI bowler but hardly contributes in a winning cause with the bat.
Those allrounders are not finishers.
In reply to analyst-kid
I can never understand the rubbish logic that says...we were losing with the Stars.
Ok..we were losing to better..more experienced teams.
Gayle &Co. With experience and the benefit of having played all over the globe..all year would no doubt have us ranked at least 5.
I promise u this..we would not be behind Bangladesh.
In reply to DIEHARD
I don't buy that...not for all the tea in China.
In reply to hawk
Unsurprising that you wouldn't.

DD battery- he forking battery WI cricket wid him boys
In reply to DIEHARD... PG13 please.
In reply to hawk
I don't think you will ever get it and I say so with all due respect.
I have nothing else to say to you
In reply to Emir
Good point Sir. Let us also check on the availability of Greenidge, Haynes, Richards et al.
We may be able to start winning again just looking backwards
In reply to Atl_View
Are the players you listed currently making significant contributions to cricketing teams elsewhere in the world with bat and or ball? 
In reply to DIEHARD
In reply to imusic and Emir
our ranking has not been above #8 in ODIs for over a decade, during that decade all those players were present and accounted for, I am not convince they would beat this current Bangladesh side
In reply to hawk
Crucially that team was never stuck in ninth place as this team is.
In reply to Emir
I must disagree...outside elements play their part but who the hell are playing these rash strokes? THE PLAYERS
The "alienated" players are millionaires. In truth, they don't give a damn about Windies cricket. They are never "available" to play when there's T20 dollars to be earned elsewhere.
In reply to Emir
Keep looking back like Lot...
