All selected on merit.

In reply to imusic

Are you deliberately forgetful? You forget he is the last WI player to hit a century against a reputable team, albeit warm up match but it still counts.
Clearly Walton as Keeper and Gayle as Captain.

In reply to Slipfeeler

I agree. Walton in Lewis out. He has been struggling in any event.

Hopefully Beaton in and Taylor out

We can then sit and try to unravel the continuing mystery of why they play poor Rovam Powell and hide him from both bat and ball

Good selection this is, still way too many bajans though

The only possible player selected w/o merit is Carlos..

Hope should of played ahead of Walton and Simmons ahead of mohammad

A clear indication that the selectors do not have a clue is the selection of Jason Mohamed on a T20 team.

This is a strong team.

IIRC not even the CPL teams are interested in Hope!

I wonder how the "crowds" on Thursday will compare to the crowds on Sunday....

Sammy and fire power in the same sentence? Really?

In reply to SirGarny

Trust me..Russell, Big Bravo and Sammy are big big ingredients in the recipe for the limited limited overs success we have enjoyed in recent times.

The other key player being Gayle, i believe once you have those 4...dont matter much who the other 7 are

But Gayle now on the decline..and those 3 missing..trust..it will be interesting to see how Sunday turns out

In reply to JamMack

In reply to SirGarny

Sabina no longer Taylor made?

In reply to XDFIX... Always, but then, you need to play Taylor to find out.

In reply to Andy99

That's why the T20 is on Sunday...it wouldn't be the other way around, because it wouldn't make marketing sense. Hardly anybody goes to ODIs any more.

In reply to bobby Good observation.
