Wheres the bowler that can RIP through the batting lineup?

Roach has regressed. Paul and Oshane are 1 or 2 for bowlers......

They think because I said 5 bowlers any 5 would do. The think tank of the west indies has sank!

Shannon Gabriel should be in every WI ODI team, especially against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe

Ravi Rampaul, Dwayne Bravo, and Sunil Narine were our 5fer bowlers in ODIs

bowlers will continue to struggle until we improve fielding and the captaincy.

I don't think Roach has regressed, the shoulder injuries mean he's not an express pacer anymore, he's probably more suited to tests, but the pitches in England will suit him better than the Bangladeshi pitches do.

I think Roach, at nest, is a third seamer. Nothing more than that.

Even in tests, he's fairly innocuous.

I want him to get to 200 wickets in tests, he's around 170 now, and then he needs to make way.

Unless he can master swing like Anderson and broad, who bowl around a similar pace.

Make way for who? If the others were better than him, then Roach wouldn't be selected.

He's done fantastic to come back from the injuries he had, working with Collymore has been a good move as he also came back from injury.

He doesn't look like getting a wicket anymore.

Joseph, Gabriel, Thomas, Holder, Paul are all around the team. Roach would be great if we had 3 other genuine wicket taking bowlers, and his job was to be the stock bowler.

I agree he's done very well to come back from injury, and I'm sure he's putting in the long yards in the nets. But at international level, the batsman don't seem to fear him anymore and hence his wicket taking prowess has gone down.

Gabriel & Holder are in the team.

Thomas, Joseph, Paul etc. currently do not offer a better option than Roach.
