Holder can't be a #7 followed by Nurse and Bishoo, well technically he can but it is bad for the team.

A longer tail in ODIs than in Tests
In reply to Andy99
...wait..they think they need more bowling in an ODI than a Test???
Is Gayle and Samuels gi dem dat confidence??
What the hell going on in dat dere backroom??
Holder bat 8 in tests and 7 in ODIs??
Stu..u gat dis wrong wrong wrong.
Leff him right dere at 8!!!
In reply to DIEHARD
Holder is by far a much better Test batsman than he is in limited overs cricket.
Even if you consider him a bowling allrounder, then u still picking 4 specialists bowlers and him, thats ridiculous, especially when u consider the 4 bowlers aren't world class.
If u had 4 world class bowlers then u could try and fit them in or maybe if the batting is as strong as India top and middle order then u can sacrifice a batter.

This is our BEST BET for 2019 WCQ:
Gayle
Lewis
Lil Bravo
J Mo / S Hope
Ramdin
Russell
Pollard (note: captain)
Narine
Nurse
Rampaul
Gabriel
Unfortunately, for variety of reasons, it can't come together
In reply to thefacts
J Mo can't be ahead of Shai Hope
Same goes for Nurse when you have young bats like Jermaine Blackwood
In reply to thefacts
Go and take your drugs
In reply to Starzz
Shai Hope vs J Mo is a tough one i agree. Either can play.
Nurse vs Blackwood is a no brainer. Nurse is mainly a spinner and an AUTO PICK in my opinion.
Blackwood is a no.5 or 6, however not an auto pick
In reply to thefacts
I'm not convinced about Pollards abilities in anything longer than 20 overs again, especially at international level..he seems to have regressed.
Dont know if its politics or what but..I cant recall him performin credibly in WI colours in quite some time..in either T-20s or ODIs
seriously, pollard name getting thrown around again?
25 average after 101 matches
Pollard time is over until he play 1-day or 4-day and show form.
WI team should be
Gayle/Hety
Lewis
Hope
Darren Bravo
Mohammed
Ambris
Powell
Holder
Nurse/Bishoo
Williams/Joseph
Gabriel/Roach

no faith in taylor?
ANDY99 is making my eternal point.
If YOUR specialists bowlers are not World class...therefore you need allrounders to compensate for their lack of batting prowess.
DJ BRAVO, REIFER, PRIMUS, EMRIT etc...not necessarily them but that is what you need.
I will also want Lewis, to be Gayle's partner at this format, it is not T20 cricket.
In reply to analyst-kid
Agreed DJ Bravo at 8/9 would be a great addition to this team
Andy, you are spot on. I am not sure about the WI approach to LO cricket. Even in the recently concluded CPL most of the teams had more bits and pieces players with bowlers and just 2-3 batsmen carrying the team.
WI are atleast 2 proper batsmen short. Like the old times, it has to be people like Jason Mohammed / Gayle / Sammuels who should take care of the 5th bowler duties with 2 allrounders (Dj Bravo / Holder / Brathwaite / Russel / Sammy ) and 2 bowlers.
To Play 4 bowlers and 2 hitters with 1 WK and just 4 batsmen makes the team completely unbalanced.
In reply to DIEHARD
When last have you seen Bravo bowling 6-10 overs, are you basting your arguement onhis T20 performance?
In reply to openning
Absolutely
I believe its easier for a bowler to adjust from T-20 to ODI than a batsman, and look at this bowling line up, no real quality might as well include a guy who might make a few runs.
Taylor definitely needs to go imho
In reply to DIEHARD
You will be an average ODI and test cricketer, if the only format a player prepare and work on, is T20.
In reply to openning
You realise we have average to below average ODI bowlers right now right?
