4 people should be unanimous
Sobers,Lara,Richards and Marshall

The best West Indies wicketkeeper is undoubtedly Jackie Hendriks.However some people want to pick a wicketkeeper who can bat and then the discussion veers into Dujon or Walcott,since Walcott stopped wicketkeeping after only 15 of his 44 test matches.

The best West Indies spin bowler goes to Gibbs,especially because with Sobers already in the team it makes Valentine seem unnecessary.

The opening batting positions are debate rich.Hunte seems to be the best and then one has to choose between Greenidge,Fredericks and Haynes. I think Greenidge probably gets the nod

There is 1 more batting position and the candidates are the 3W's, Headley, Chanderpaul ,Kanhai and Lloyd I would go with Headley
Who will partner Marshall with the new ball.The candidates are Holding,Ambrose,Hall and Garner.I would go with Ambrose.

There still is 1 more place and with WI favoring a 4 prong pace attack,Mikey Holding becomes my final player

1.Hunte
2.Greenidge
3.Headley
4.Richards
5.Lara
6.Sobers
7.Marshall
8.Hendriks
9.Ambrose
10.Holding
11.Gibbs
