imusic 2018-03-29 15:18:24 

3 keepers
1 specialist batsman
1 captain who cannot on merit make a West Indies A team in any format of the game.

Oh well. Maybe they really only selected who was willing to go

Would anybody other than Rovman, Kersrick and Badree be in a full or even near to full strength squad??

Emrit dont learn??

Is joke dis??

shock

Didn't he barely survive a suicide bomber?

 
imusic 2018-03-29 15:24:53 

In reply to DIEHARD

Man must eat


Players who need to eat a food will likely make the tour if asked

Players who well taken care of have the option to say no. That is if they were asked to tour in the first place.

One can surmise that Players who don’t need tthe money but still decide to tour, t love de cricket

Obviously PCL and CPL remuneration not enough for certain players not to take the risk

The fact that a player who experienced a bomb attack in the PsL and still going back means player weight pros and cons and the pros won out

 
goofballs 2018-03-29 15:54:08 

Respect to the Bold and the Brave (and hungry).
They have enough time or a flight booked yet to ketch the game starting tomorrow??
Tomorrow is Saturday in Pakistan. About 10 hrs diff.

Fletcher
Walton
Samuels
Mohammed (C)
Ramdin (Wk)
Powell
Emrit
Paul
Permaul
Badree
Williams

...decent CPL team but piss poor T20I team. Expect 3-0 romp by a powerful, finely-tuned Pak unit who have recently come off an impressive PSL tournament.

I feel your pain cus .

 
XFactor 2018-03-29 16:03:38 

Jason Mohammed as Captain seems appropriate considering his last name, and they are playing in Pakistan. Very astute move that.

Emrit best before date has long gone. What is he doing there...

 
sunfish 2018-03-29 16:05:57 

Permaul and Smith to sit..

 
JOJO 2018-03-29 16:12:03 

We hear a whole lot about exploitation around here. If there was ever a case to be made, then this is it.

Basically CWI went ahead and planned a tour to a high risk location and took advantage of the need of some players to make a living, to field a team.

Imran Khan, Fudadin, who else?

 
sgtdjones 2018-03-29 16:17:56 

Here is that Brung guy comments :

We had a few players that opted not to tour Pakistan, due to their or their families’ security concerns and CWI have fully accepted their position,” said Browne.


So No bajans , dem to chicken.

On the choice of Jason Mohammed as captain, Browne said: “Jason is our One-day International vice-captain, and he has been asked to step up and lead the team with the unavailability of Carlos. He has lots of captaincy experience at first-class level.”


Brung cut out the crap nah, if a bajan was going he was gonna be captain.


There are four uncapped T20I players in the squad – two of whom have been picked for the first time in a senior international squad, plus two with previous international experience in other formats.


Say what, why weren't they picked before Brung.?

Left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul has played Tests and One-day Internationals


Ok coz no bajans wanna go ya pick a muddie ?..ok ah gats ya Brung.

On the recall of Ramdin to the squad, Browne said: “Denesh brings a lot of experience and an opportunity to restart his international career. While he will be the primary wicketkeeper in the squad, we also have available Chadwick Walton and Andre Fletcher as back up.”


Ok , so we always gat we bajan wicketkeepers to play after this tour. Thanks Brung

Windies2017 2018-03-29 16:21:22 

better off giving Marlon or even Badree the captaincy.. weakest T20 unit I have seen in a while.. hopefully the guys come good

Weakest team indeed...WI t20 team has gone downhill since Sammy and Management interfetence.

What will the team for the rest of the world game look like? It cah be this pyam pyam team.

 
TheTrail 2018-03-29 17:46:35 

Keemo Paul should stay home. He will make the test team. No need to go there at this time.

 
johnjo 2018-03-29 17:47:54 

Typical cwi using the players. Discarded players suddenly worthy of selection because no one else wants to tour

You have always maintained that, given the apparent love West Indies supporters have for Pakistan, we should tour Pakistan - the tour is on.big grin big grin

So what would you suggest, junjo? The BIG IDIOT (and his supporters) suit up to play, or don't have the WI participate in the tour?

The Emrit incident occurred in Afghanistan, not Pakistan. I think there was an explosion outside the stadium. But it shook him up enough that he was on the next plane home.

analyst-kid 2018-03-30 00:58:59 

It doesn't look like a bad team to me atall..Samuels,Mohammed, Fletcher and Ramdin providing the experience surrounded by the power hitters Walton, McCarthy and Powell.

Bowling led by Badree,Paul Emrit and Williams/Permaul with Powell the 5th bowler...Samuels to throw in some overs. Bowling looks weaky though. Badree and Paul looks the only penetrative bowlers.
