My choice will be Ewin lewis or jonathan carter

It's going to be Carter...

Man averages under 30.
Played 2 FC matches in less than a month with scores of 2, 78 and 0.

Everyone knows my choice but other than him it'd have to be Kuk.
Dwayne Bravo also in with a shout.
Fudadin could probably sneak in due to A team form.

In reply to Andy99

I like Asad but I will go along with Pollard, his time has come

In reply to CricketFan

I suspect the WICB have no intention of replacing him....

In reply to Emir

I hope too that it will be Pollard, if only to put to bed the argument that he is a Test class batsman. He has no backfoot game and will be just a walking wicket for Steyn & co on the fast, bouncy SA wickets.

Kirk,Carter,Fudadin or my wildcard choice, Lendl Simmons

Deo

that 110* might see Deo going to SA

In reply to Wally-1

Did you read the whole post?

Dwayne Smith..

Deo cant play quick bowling
Carter is in dubious form
Dwayne Smith is a cowlasher
Kirk Edwards doesnt have any meaningful form either

Take your pick.

In reply to Commie

Tino Best was the last person thrown into the deep end (0 for 99 from 19). Do you want that for Carter when facing Steyn, Philander, and Morkel?

If they were looking for Carter, he should have been in the series against Bangladesh or New Zealand.

I believe these ninnies will go for:

Edwards, Deonarine or Powell...if available

Maybe it's time for Dwayne Smith to enter the arena again, but he might have to get over Philander and his swinging new ball. Dwayne Smith will put a whipping on Steyn and Morkel...that kind of pace is right up his alley...

In reply to TheTrail

And don't forget his century on debut against the same SA. Dwayne's experience will be needed against that bowling attack..

Kieron Powell?

In reply to Yadi



He also gat Personal Problems...pick someone else!

In reply to WestDem

Adrian Barath?

In reply to Yadi



Yuh mekking joke outta a serious matter Yardi?

Barath?

Its gonna be Fudadin or Kuk!

In reply to WI_cricfan


That is not enough to give Deo the spot,Fudadin has better credentials at the moment,Evin Lewis hasn't done too badly since he started,last season debut wasn't too bad,and starts off well this season.

In reply to granite

They are looking for a #3 batsman with test experience, most of the youngsters don't have enough regional or A team experience to be selected.

They may let an out of form Kirk face the music

whoever replaces Darren will be a waterboy, with Samuels and Gayle back in the team all the batting positions are taken.

In reply to openning

At some time one must play to get Test experience. Bravo too had none when first appeared; Samuels had little FC experience when he was surprisingly called up back when.

Send a youngster who is fearless in approach (like Blackwood) even he is a back up (carry water)in case of an injury. Gayle of late has been injury prone.

In reply to Scar

How about our latest musician/cricketer? This Russel Kid? Bat bowl field sing . He looks like a good package?

In reply to Andy99

In reply to TheTrailDoes an early failing on tough spin pitches which normally overcome WI batsmen mean he is fraid of anything. My fearless refers to playing his type of game.
Those with more "experience" called for also failed on that tour. I did not call for him but for WI to take a youngster on tour to carry water as in years gone by. In case of injury he steps in and siezes his chance. The tried and failed experienced ones only holding back the untried from proving their worth. Besides a newbie wont change the rankings carrying water.

In reply to Scar

Isn't Blackwood in the squad?

Beg Sammy to un-retire

In reply to methodic I did not call for his inclusion but said another similar response to a vacant spot could be used filled with one like him.

Sarwan?

In reply to cricketest

In reply to Superfly

In reply to CricketFan Two best players of express pace and lift that we will get from Steyn and Morkel are Simmons and Smith. Both mentally are not ideal test players but some counter-attacking against pace is going to be needed to protect the other batsmen, all of whom are likely to struggle. I would go with Simmons as the more solid of the two.

In reply to birdseye

Sars was complicit as he refused to get fit, pity because he coulda bat, sweeeeet cover drive!

In reply to moneybrain Sars had much goingbfir hom then but fell into the bkame everyone but me for my own non diligence in fitness regimen etc. If Sars cant jeep a pick in the carnival IPL where he expect to keep one?
