thefacts 2017-09-21 23:42:12 

PAY ATTENTION WICB MAFIA AND BOOT LICKERS

Unless major course correction is done...

HISTORY WILL BE CREATED next year in Zimbabwe.... when WI will be kicked out of the WC!!!

Better start realising that the "BOOT LICKER" PARTY IS OVER

Its DO or DIE time

GET THE BEST XI with the BEST CAPPO.

ELSE..

FUNNY AS FCUK

HA HA HA

 
thefacts 2017-09-21 23:47:27 

and let me not leave it to your imaginations what needs to be done:

THESE 15 should be in the SQUAD

Gayle
Lewis / Walton
Lil Bravo
Shai Hope
Simmons / Samuels
Ramdin (wk)(c)
Russell / Jason Holder
Big Bravo (vc)
Narine
Nurse
Gabriel / Cottrell

Notes.

1. The WCQ are in Zimbabwe... that means either low-slow pitches or flat batting tracks. Minimum two spinners must play. Further why 2 spinners is because the Zim, Afghans and Irish players don't play spin well. - Narine & Nurse are the two best spinners we have.

2. Either Lewis or Walton has to play the role of "Pinch Hitter" at the top of the innings and let Gayle play a long knock.

3. Lil Bravo, Shai Hope at 3,4

4. No.5 toss up between Simmons and Samuels.

5. Ramdin should be captain and Big Bravo his deputy.

6. If Russell is available and in FORM then he is the auto pick, else Jason Holder

7. Gabriel is the PACE OPTION. He is the only pacer with true speed who will rattle the Zim, Afghans and Irish. Cottrell should be his backup as with his left-arm swing he can be uncomfortable for many of the opponents (who are not used to left-arm swing bowlers)

Coach Law just reaffirmed what i posted above!

EPIC

 
thefacts 2017-09-22 09:07:28 

We've still got some selectorial conversations to have, to understand if we have the best players to take this team forward


That's as LOUD and CLEAR as any DIPLOMATIC COACH can put it....

CLEARLY LAW is saying that WI don't have the best players....

EPIC!!

More from Coach Law:

Most people would be excited to have a guy like Andre Russell champing at the bit to play international cricket," Law said. "Sunil Narine showed his class in the T20. He stated he wanted to get some 50-over cricket in, which is fair enough, but if he decides he wants to give ODIs a go he'd be one of the first picks with the spin he provides."


Exactly what I have posted above. cool cool

I am not sure what is your basis for the team, but it seems that statistics do not play any real part. Gayle doesnt look to me as if he will survive a ODI tournament.

While i would like to see Pollard getting a chance, i feel realistically he shouldnt be picked ahead of Shai Hope.

I see thats the only difference in our starting XIs

So, cool.

Will you accept settle team, because Narine, Gayle and Russell are the players mentioned.

"Most people would be excited to have a guy like Andre Russell champing at the bit to play international cricket," Law said. "Sunil Narine showed his class in the T20. He stated he wanted to get some 50-over cricket in, which is fair enough, but if he decides he wants to give ODIs a go he'd be one of the first picks with the spin he provides."

I agree that he does not look fit but he has contributed way more than all the alternatives that we had tried in his absence.

I am not saying that he shouldnt be selected, I just fear that he will not survive an ODI tournament.

If Gayle breaks down: Walton and Lewis are there

+send SOS call up to Sammy/Pollard

Both still got firepower.

Simmons could also open

I would definitely like to have Polland in the Mix. Polland has showed his capability in South Africa-Australia-west indies triseries. May at this time he bit dis engaged, but before discarding him, He needs a fair chance. I would bring him in place of either in place of Lewis or Ramdhin. I would rather prefer Lewis and promote Lil Bravo or Shai Hope as opener with Gayle.

So, I will have Shai in the squad, its not a one off match, so if any of the batters fails, especially Darren ,then he is in.

You will need a squad of 15 for the series

Is there any evidence so far of that?

This begs the question, what will happen if WI don't qualify for the 2019 WC?

a) Law will get the boot, nothing else will change

b) Law and Jason will get the boot, nothing else will change

c) Law, Jason and Courtney will get the boot, nothing else will change

d) Nothing will change

e) GO IT ALONE. cool
