Naw man, you naw think this thing through. If you did, how you go have Narine/Nurse. Narine is incumbent in any short format cricket.

Darren bravo strike rate is 70, 70. In this day and age. Can't work. Darren never put any impetus in a ODI innings. Last time he did that was in 2011 against SA in the world cup, was best knock Bravo ever make in ODI. Never seen him better that innings to this day.

I've always rated you as one of the most knowledgeable posters but this is just ridiculous. You are picking a guy based on your memories of 6 years ago? LENDL is one of my fav batsmen and in form he's in my team. However, he's coming off injury and apart from two good IPl innings he's been poor in another 10 innings. He needs to get back in the swing of things. You have Gayle in both your teams bro. Gayle can barely run wasn't that apparent? He can play the T20s, he doesn't make ODI or Test team on merit, sorry. While Lil Bravo's strike rate has been poor he was improving and striking better in ODIs before his exile. The quality of this young batsman is hard to ignore, and he makes my squad even if he doesn't start initially. I agree with your assessment of Narine, however Ashley has done surprisingly well, maybe both? Kyle Hope deserves a run after what he shoed last innings. I am not dropping Evin Lewis just yet. Let's see if he can get some consistency going in ODIs.
