Alzarri Joseph, Oshane Thomas, Keemo Paul, add Keon Harding, Chemar Holder and the English bound Jofra Archer and the others are all pacers WI should be watching carefully....they seem to be a golden generation

You forgot an up and coming player: Dominic Drakes.

This youngster has talent. He will be a star within the next three years, that is providing Barbados doesn't screw up his career.
He has the speed, with a wicked bouncer, he is very accurate, and he moves the ball off the seam.

I hope Alzari comes back a fast bowler and not a medium pacer. Shoulder surgeries are not good

With his height, he can look to holder's test bowling as a kind of role model. Get it full and moving - deadly!!!

Holder's test bowling is world class at the moment. If you can't recognize that, you ain't been watching cricket.

Dominic Drakes is a giant!

Bring on the youths. We have a lot of talented guys around now after suffering for the past 20 years or so from a lack of depth. These guys need international exposure so that they can see how good they really are. I also hope for A tours and even bringing back international sides to our 4 day competition as was the case a few years ago.

Holder is one of the best Test-match fast bowlers in the world at present so it wouldn't be bad to learn from him.

If a world test X1 was picked right now, would Holder or any CWI player be in that team?

Holder would be in mine if it were for tests. His main competition for fast-bowling allrounder spot would probably be Ben Stokes. I think he is better.
