GUYANESE-born cricket commentator Joseph ‘Reds’ Perreira has maintained that the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) selection panel has named the wrong squad for the first four games of the ongoing Ballr tri-series involving Australia and South Africa.Perreira is of the view that some changes to the squad must be made in order for West Indies to be more competitive for the remainder of the tri-series.

“The wrong squad was selected, and I am not surprised by our performance against Australia last Sunday. Seriously there needs to be some changes to the squad,” Perreira told Guyana Chronicle Sport yesterday in an exclusive interview.
Further the veteran commentator questioned whether West Indies chief selector Clive Lloyd has lost his focus on the youth policy strategy he implemented last year prior to the home series against Australia.

Wonder if he was surprised by the performance against SA...

Or the performance of Aus vs SA.

Fletcher and Charles opening WI one dayers is hillareeous, well said Reds.

What a coward. Wait till after the OZ match to write his piece

In reply to imusic

so what...he now has de evidence

if so many on this board criticized de squad....yuh think Reds didn't too?

Reds actually gave commentaries on some of the regional OD games....I would like to know how many game Big PU-C and his blind mice actually watched...de skunts picked from memory...didn't even examined the stats

It is easy for Reds to Monday morning quarterback, but some players like both Charles and Fletcher had good performances in the T20 World Cup. The decision that could be criticize, is the Selectors deciding on naming the squad for the first 4 games.

This is T20 or ODIs?

In reply to Narper

What evidence?

The squad was fine after the first game but not for the second game?

If he feel the squad wrong.....write it PRIOR to the start of the series. Doh wait until after de team lose to post it.

Why he didn't post the article after the first game?

Coward business dat from Reds

In reply to sudden

So what is your point, are you saying that T20 cricketers are not suited for ODI's? The Australian Warner started out as a T20 specialist, now he one of the best openers in Test cricket.

In reply to dayne

Started out, progressed to? See that happening with any of those you mentioned?

In reply to imusic

Reds wasn't writing....obviously it was an invited comment about the team;s performance against OZ
