Russell assured dem he will be fit for WC

 
DIEHARD 2019-04-24 17:44:14 

Keemmo Paul's omission is a surprise.

Gabriel replaces Aljo

 
Walco 2019-04-24 17:44:24 

Once you are playing regional cricket and international cricket you are eligible for selection. I hope that by international cricket Haynes is referring to international T20 leagues and not playing for WI

 
Headley 2019-04-24 17:44:37 

Good squad I have a little problem with Carlos and a big problem with Ashley Nurse. Time will tell.

 
Walco 2019-04-24 17:46:22

Who would you have picked instead of Carlos and Nurse?

 
Raggs 2019-04-24 17:46:56 

In reply to DIEHARD

Remmo Paul's omission is a surprise.
should be there instead of Carlos

the pressure is on him and i think he knows that

 
Baje 2019-04-24 17:47:57 

Is Keemo hurt?

 
Narper 2019-04-24 17:49:21 

Narines said he would love to play for WI ......BUT

Narine has an injured finger and not capable of bowling 10 overs

 
positiveg 2019-04-24 17:49:25 

I like Narine's answer why he nah play

 
pkriston 2019-04-24 17:49:29 

In reply to Headley

Fabian Allen as well. He is good for T20, but I don't see what he has done to maintain an ODI selection.

Cornwall, Keemo Paul and anybody else and this team would have been stronger.

In reply to Narper

Russell assured dem he will be fit for WC

Wasn't that a stupid answer by the chief selector? Russell is currently actively involved in in playing cricket so how can he give such an advance assurance?

I would think that would be determined by medicals all players have to undertake ....

hoss.......fatboy nurse is as bad a pick as if cornwall was picked. Nurse as useful as bishoo and as fit as dwayne leverock. Carlos cant make the first team of any side he plays for save barbados and patriots. he must be a really good kiss up

Boss it looks like Pollard is being victimized by another selection panel ... and Big Bravo too.

 
Str8_Drive 2019-04-24 17:54:17 

Notable Omissions

Narine
Bishoo
Paul
John Campbell
Simmons
Pollard

 
Walco 2019-04-24 17:56:12 

In reply to Khaga

Another bullshit excuse from Narine. Bottom line is that he knows he will be called for pelting if he bowls again in international cricket ...

Only omission i want there is Keemo, he should be there.

In reply to Walco

Paul for Nurse anyday. I like Carlos so it's not a major issue. Three or four wickets and a good 50 could solve my Carlos problem.

 
Raggs 2019-04-24 17:58:38 

Ashley 'Fattas' Nurse! is he the skipper 'little' night nurse?

 
tc1 2019-04-24 17:58:44 

In reply to Walco


I made the same point to you last week, but was unable to follow up to your question as I was travelling.
Haynes'selections are identical to Browne, yet he (browne)was cussed as having selected his hommies, guess what Haynes selected Browne's hommies.
the mop will blame reifer and holder

Bad day for the whiners (Tits) of WI, none of their superstars were selected.

In reply to tc1

Not quite. Maybe Keemo Paul would have still been there. Mistake to exclude him in my book. Curious to see who will bowl the death overs in this line up.

 
DIEHARD 2019-04-24 18:41:42 

In reply to Headley

Paul for Nurse anyday. I like Carlos so it's not a major issue. Three or four wickets and a good 50 could solve my Carlos problem.


Agreed..I had Carlos in my inital squad before i was made to believe Big Bravo and Pollard were likely to be selected, and i thought the squad could benefit from their experince and skills.

And then i was torn between Powell and Carlos. No complaints here for me re Carlos.

Carlos earned his call up in that ODI tour, it should have been Paul over Nurse for me.

So they went with Thomas, Gabriel, Nurse and Carlos over Paul, Pollard, Bravo and Powell, I can live with Thomas and Carlos ....not sold on Gabriel..Nurse..makes me sick to my stomach

 
Bestian 2019-04-24 18:45:24 

In reply to DIEHARD
The last series, Nurse was not quite fit but seeiing him perform locally in the last couple of weeks, I'm sure he will surprise a lot of you when he performs in the World Cup...watch and see

That make absolutely no sense.
Paul vs Holder, Carlos or Russell, would had been, a better comparison.
You select teams, base on position, not fitting names into a slot, for namesake.

 
Toney 2019-04-24 18:52:12

Narine's middle finger unable to bend..always staying up!


Was he attempting to give the Selectors and CWI the middle finger salute instead of mooning them? lol lol lol

 
Bestian 2019-04-24 18:52:44 

In reply to openning
They needed an offie and a leggie, but since Bishoo is not in form they went with the left arm spinner that could bat a bit in Allen.

 
Walco 2019-04-24 18:57:00 

In reply to Headley

Paul for Nurse anyday.

I am a huge Paul fan, but he would have to replace Carlos in that squad. We will need spinners in England, especially if Angel plays. Otherwise Holder will have to sit out a few games for slow over rate smile

 
openning 2019-04-24 18:57:25 

In reply to Bestian
The majority of the squad played against England, a few months ago, so I have no problem with the team selected

 
Bestian 2019-04-24 18:59:36 

In reply to openning
Agreed....So why did we need to hastily change the selectors again?

Browne had to go, too many fans had problems with his selections.

 
Bestian 2019-04-24 19:03:51

Yet the new selectors followed the same blueprint.

Bishoo and Campbell are the only ones to miss out.

Neither really impressed against England in the ODI series.

 
WIForever 2019-04-24 19:14:18 

In reply to Str8_Drive


No spin starting XI

Gayle
Lewis
Bravo
Hope
Hetmeyer
Pooran
Holder
Russel
Roach
Cotterel
Gabriel

 
openning 2019-04-24 19:19:36 

In reply to Bestian

The selecting panel had very little time, to make wholesale changes to the team.
Brathwaite performance against England, got him selected ahead of Paul.
The spinners that is giving Nurse a run are Cornwall and Pierre.
Neither of them played International ODI cricket, as far as I know.

 
mikesiva 2019-04-24 19:23:33 

In reply to WIForever

Too early to say no spinner.

Depends on the weather in Nottingham on May 31.

If it's overcast or drizzling, then I will agree with you.

If it's sunny one of Nurse or Allen should play.

 
DIEHARD 2019-04-24 19:28:06 

In reply to WIForever

The previous selection panel would often go with Nurse over Pooran...the fact Nurse is even selected makes me think that will continue, with the long tail

Russel at 6 followed by Holder, Nurse, and then Roach Cotterel and Gabriel

 
openning 2019-04-24 19:33:07

This is not a test series, I cannot see Russell, Holder, Roach, Cottterel and Gabriel in any playing X1.

In reply to anthonyp Feel the same way.

sad confused

 
granite 2019-04-24 19:45:49 

Don't worry about Nurse and others who you all think shouldn't be there,we have 2 of the best match winners in our team in Russell and Gayle,so DON'T BLOODY WORRY,the Soljaboy can also cause early damage to opposition opening batsmen and is no mug later in the innings with the old ball.

I dont have a problem with nurse being there as I cant see who would be better than him apart from Narine.
I would have gone with paul over Braithwaite but in the end it might be six of one and half dozen of the other.
Sorry to see the Icon missing!!

DIEHARD 2019-04-24 21:23:06 

In reply to openning

Some of y'all just post cos unu have internet!!!!

It's against the rules of the game for Holder, Paul, Carlos AND Russell to be in the squad?

They could play all 4 if they wanted of leave one on the bench or none at all.
After you pick your XI the 4 left can be anything, so, explain again why Paul could not be the man on the bench instead of Nurse, of even in the XI instead of Nurse?

Based on your feelings

The selectors told u how many " all rounders" they planned on picking?

The squad has to have more than one spinner?

I don't understand your statement

 
WestDem 2019-04-24 21:29:46 

I have no problem with this team, one of the most fairly selected in a while! Keemo not competing with Nurse but Holder, Carlos and Andre. He young and would mek the next WC! cool

 
DIEHARD 2019-04-24 21:34:21 

In reply to openning

The Last ODI against England all XI did not bat, but the listed line up was ,starting at 6:

Holder
Brathwaite
Nurse
Bishoo
Cotterel
Thomas

Now..seeing that Bishoo is not there,..if they turn up on the morning of the match and see heavy cloud cover, do you select Allen just so you can say you playing two spinners? Or do you unleash pace like fya on dem skunt!!! twisted

 
DIEHARD 2019-04-24 21:38:53 

In reply to WestDem

Keemo not competing with Nurse but Holder, Carlos and Andre


It is that crazy to y'all that he could also play in the same XI instead of Nurse, take his place in the last ODI XI put on the park by WI?
Allen replacing Bishoo from that line up, for me it is actually the better line up, only play one spinner, Allen and replace Nurse with Paul

 
Slipfeeler 2019-04-25 01:13:44 

In reply to Str8_Drive

Apart from Gayle, Lewis and Russell, batting maybe challenging for WI, we really needed the experience of Big Bravo, Pollard and bowler Narine, they could make a wealth of difference.

 
Seechy 2019-04-25 13:39:20 

I don't see Russell being able to bowl a ful quota of 10 overs, so we'll need the extra bowler/allrounder.

 
DIEHARD 2019-04-26 04:14:27 

In reply to Seechy

Russell will bat 6, a and give a few overs.

The bowling will come from 7-11
