So Why Did We Change the Selectors Again???

West Indies WC Squad

Jason Holder (captain)
Andre Russell
Ashley Nurse
Carlos Brathwaite
Chris Gayle
Darren Bravo
Evin Lewis
Fabian Allen
Kemar Roach
Nicholas Pooran
Oshane Thomas
Shai Hope
Shannon Gabriel
Sheldon Cottrell
Shimron Hetmyer

West Indies ODI Squad vs England

Jason Holder (captain)
Andre Russell
Ashley Nurse
Carlos Brathwaite
Chris Gayle
Darren Bravo
John Campbell
Fabian Allen
Kemar Roach
Nicholas Pooran
Oshane Thomas
Shai Hope
Davendra Bishoo
Sheldon Cottrell
Shimron Hetmyer

So the injured Lewis is slotted back into the squad to replace his fill-in Campbell, and Bishoo was replaced by Angel. The previous panel was so bad that they had to be replaced immediately by a new panel that picked the same team smile smile smile

If you think your comments, the inquiring kind?
Maybe injuries, that we dont know about.
Wait, till we dont make it to the second round at the world cup.

I dont see us winning 4 games.

After , watch the cussing.

They were replaced because of the vindictiveness that was demonstrated over a period of time....which resulted in some senior players being shunned and prematurely discarded.

Now it is obviously way too late to select some of them for a WC only one month away....hence this team looks similar to recent ODI teams

I expect a T20 WI team to be different than what has been selected in the recent past.

I'm not sure about that too late part Narps. The seniors all played in the Super 50 and were all available for selection, yet they were not selected. Seems like the victimization continues. Either that or the justification for replacing the selectors was a pretext.

I hope that people like Narine and Pollard will accept selection to the T20 team. They were selected to play T20s in New Zealand in late 2017 and pulled out at the last minute.

Even after they played super50...the signals were very clear to them they were not going to be considered for selection....Bravo and Simmons retired..others were not selected for WI ODIs

I am sure none of them really believed they would be selected for WC 2019...having not played ODIs in ages.

As I said....The next WI T20 team will tell us about the new selection panel.

It is obvious to me Narine is scared to play international cricket. Fear of being called again is real.

and how were their performances. I can bet not much to talk about as I cannot recall them actually playing in the Super50.

 
natty_forever 2019-04-26 14:57:47 

In reply to Narper… well this time around it obvious he has an injury.

 
Walco 2019-04-26 15:09:31 

In reply to Narper

I agree regarding Narine. But I think the problem with selecting the seniors to the WC Squad was that CWI has been preaching that performance in the Super 50 is critical to selection for the senior team and the seniors for the most part did not distinguish themselves in the last tournament, except for maybe Narine and agruably Simmons. I don't remember Bravo and Pollard doing much in the last Super 50.

By the way, the old selection panel said they did not victimize anyone. According to them, they picked the team from a pool of players designated by CWI as eligible for selection. But that will all be sorted out in the courts I guess.

I have no reason to doubt what Bravo said, but I would also be interested in what Bravo said before and after Browne's statement because context is important sometimes. Dem players nuh easy Narps smile But having said that, it would be naive to think that Browne did not to some extent share the views of his employers regarding certain "unmannerly" players smile

I brought up the point regarding team selection from a pool of eligible players because I had never heard it before listening to the Mason show the other night.

Well Haynes is interim chief selector and Reifer is interim coach. Interesting times ahead.

I see people saying that Fabien Allen lucky to make the WC squad, but I am happy he was selected. I liked the fact that the old selection panel instituted a policy of identifying young talent and giving them a decent chance prove themselves. They ended the days of chopping and changing and I hope the new panel stays on the same course.

avg of 19. something? duh in 6 matches?

But you're missing the point. Let me spell it out for you.....

Even if they played their performances were hardly noteworthy

What is the point of getting rid of the previous selection panel en bloc, only for the new panel to pick essentially the same names as before? We were expecting drama and bombshells. Darren Sammy as captain with ‘Big’ Bravo (Dwayne) or Kieron Pollard as the vice-captain, for example, with Lendl Simmonds to open with Chris Gayle and Sunil Narine to twirl his off-breaks!

Oh well, we have to make do with the same boring names.

Have you notice Conde is not keeping any secrets?
He told the Line & Length audience today, that Shai Hope has been nominated to be the Vice captain of the tr-series, he would not had done this, during Cameron management
