Message Board Archives
NEXT UP: The Afghans!!
Last T20 Team...
Lewis
Walton (wk)
Samuels
J Mo
Simmons
Pollard
Carlos (Cappo)
Jason
Narine
Badree
Williams
Qs.1 : Is Carlos still the guy to lead the T20 side?
thefacts,
REST ASSURED THE WONDIAN DREAMERS ARE NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE VISIT BY THE AFGHANS!!
TO LOSE TO THE AFGHANS WOULD BE THE LOWEST POINT THAT THE WONDIES WOULD HAVE EVER REACHED IN THEIR CRICKETING HISTORY!!!
OH RA$$!!!
FUNNY AS FCUK!!!
HA!HA!HA!
SHEIK
In reply to Sheik
Yes, could be!
Just to put it on the record, the current lowest point is LOSING 0-2 (Blackwash) at HOME to BANGLADESH in 2009!
Co-Incidently, That was one BAJAN SCAB TEAM too!!
For a second lets assume that the IPL players will be available. (As IPL will be over by this weekend)
So auto-picks:
Lewis
----------------
----------------
J Mo
---------------
Pollard
---------------
Jason
Narine
Badree
---------------
For the remaining spots... just going by FORM...
I'd pick...
Walton -- Guess he is the default pick right now, don't know where is Pooran
Hetmyer -- (yes, give the lad a go at T20)
Chase -- (His confidence must be great)
Carlos -- although I don't want to, but its very unlikely that Selectors will drop him
Gabriel (His confidence must be great too)
In reply to thefacts
Good pick RE Gabriel. That shot he played had t20 written all over it.
Why would anyone picked a T20 player from test performance?
There are three formats, any player that has not prove himself at T20 level should not be selected, any player that is not playing 50 over cricket should not be selected for ODI or test.
Roston has played two T20 games and fourteen list A games, no need for his selection for though formats, at this time.
In reply to openning
Pure FORM and CONFIDENCE. Not saying a Test Match and T20 can be compared, but sometimes players in FORM are able to carry over their confidence from one form of the game to the Other.
and its a series vs Afghanistan, what easier moment than this to give someone a try.
WI have already lost to Ireland in 2015 and Zimbabwe in 2016, so can't call them the easiest oppositions either.
Come to think of it....
WI have LOST to Ireland in 2015 and Zimbabwe in 2016!
and the BAJANS believe WI are on some miracle path ...
Anyways, So Practically, this series is the Battle of the Bottom Dwellers.
I would think the WI selectors are going to look back at the last T20 series and see that Simmons and Pollard BOTH failed miserably throughout.....are they some kind of superstar players to be retained?
Pollard avg 6.66
Simmons avg 2.33
Powell avg 2.50
Batting and Bowling Averages WI vs Pak T20
TheFacts you are really showing a blatant Trini bias here.
In reply to brainless-kid
Show me where I have included Simmons in the team above?
Thanks in Advance.
Really and truly it is only fair that a Mayers or Reifer and a specialist batsman maybe young Powell again be given an opportunity to replace one of Pollard or Simmons( or both.)
I question both Powell and Simmons commitment to a WI TEAM...the selectors and Captain Carlos would got to be mad to select them.
if I am so brainless explain to me how Pollard get to be an automatic pick for a WI TEAM CONSIDERING HE HAS NOT SCORED ABOVE 26 IN 16 MATCHES OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS?
He only gets to be an automatic pick because he's from Trinidad.
23,16,13,8,7,20,26,5,22,13,9,18, 16*,14,3,3
Against Afghan I would go for a 90mph pacer....the much maligned Gabriel,Joseph or Roach.

FORM
Have you been seeing the IPL games? Pollard has been in good form.
An "A team" should play Afgan, a first team has nothing to gain.
E. Lewis
C. Walton
L. Simmons
J. Mohammed
K. Pollard
R. Chase
S. Narine
C. Brathwaite
S. Badree
S. Gabriel
K. Williams
Let's just get the best T20 team back out on the park asap:
Gayle
Lewis
Simmons
Samuels
Bravo
Pollard (c)
Pooran (wk)
Russell
Narine
Rampaul
Badree
Would anyone use these games to move Narine up the order after his IPL exploits with the bat?
In reply to WICFan
Of course. Narine and Lewis to open. Walton 1 down
In reply to Seechy
isn't Russell on a one year ban?
I would love to see Narine open the batting... it might just work!
In reply to Seechy
Lewis
Simmons
Samuels
Bravo
Pollard (c)
Pooran (wk)
Russell
Narine
Rampaul
Badree
Dude, while thats a really good side.. its better WI stay in the present...
In reply to Sheik
I'd have bet on the World Cup loss to Kenya being the all time low point.
Disagree, after all Afghanistan are no lightweight, and if they were, then certainly Windies have to be considered lightweight too? Let the team have some matches under their belt against a team with good bowlers in the squad.
In reply to thefacts
Why are you forgetting Afghanistan? Afghanistan beat us in the last world cup.
In reply to WICFan
Remove Chase and put Rovman
Dwayne Smith should be in the T20 team...
In reply to Baje
True. Ominous.
