That's not really a great statistic to be honest because you're making Mr. Harper look good he'll tell you he selected half youth and half experience!!!
In reply to WIfan26
the sad part is that most of the young half will be sitting on the bench!
In reply to Dukes
Also it's a 19 man squad please tell me you know what the majority of 65 is
In reply to Dukes
Just need 2 more and you have your starting eleven.
That is a terrible indictment on Hunte, Hilaire, Cameron and Gibson who all said eleven yrs. ago 'CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICY TO EXPOSE YOUTH, GAYLE, SARWAN AND CHANDERPAUL WERE NOT SELECTED.' The only 'youths' who came through did so by natural evolution. That REGIME destroyed what little was left of WI cricket; especially tests and ODI

Is WC a golden handshake for West indies T20 shareholders getting long in the tooth?
What's WC prize bundle? In the FIFA model teams that qualify pocket million$$ and winner gets $20 million on top of that
What is ICC championship prize monies for the winner? Does the winner take all the moolah

Grand dads of T-20 cricket....being given Grand farewell by utterly ridiculous administration & Selectors....in connivance with Head Coach cum selector Uncle Simmons...One thing for sure..... ice-cream galore in UAE.... don't forget fat pay cheque from ICC......We as a team will participate to win the trophy in 2022 in Australia......

In reply to camos
Please list the people who have successfully debuted at age 34 IN T 20 CRICKET
Gayle just adding another superlative to his inexhaustible list.
First to score a T20I ton

Oldest T20I player
You guys can go ahead and add the other incidentals in between.
I really had no intention of killing this thread with my above post.
Just wanted to provide my contribution to a then thriving thread. Full of potential, actually.
In reply to Dukes
Your friend Roger holds only one vote on this selection panel but as you know, the current setup makes his vote worthless unless it is to break a tie. There must be a restructuring of the selection process otherwise this travesty will continue in the years ahead.
The following players should have been in the original fifteen: Hemraj, Rutherford, Odean Smith, Jason Holder, Romario Sheppard. No brainer this one. Now on to the rest of the story.
Mentor: Gayle.
Reserves: Cottrell, Fletcher, Lil B, Motie.
Out due to medical reasons: Rampaul, McCoy.
Unwarranted selection: Oshane.
It is very hard to pinpoint why the level of stupidity among the people running WI cricket is so high.
In reply to Star
Hemraj
Shepherd will strugglevat international level. He went for over 100 runs in ten overs vs the red force this year.
Holder is the only person whobshould have been on the team.
Rutherford had a good CPL but he is untested. Ravi earned his spot by being the leading wicket taker in the tournament.
The current team has experience. We went with untested, inexperienced boy scouts for two of the last three World cups( 2015, 2016 and 2019) and were battered badly in two of them.

Like the urban myth that Warner was picked for tests because of his T 20 performances this will not die.
Oh well...........
In reply to Dukes
And 7 look certain to play in the starting 11 .backward ever , forward never.
In reply to cricketfreak
Lil Bravo and Cottrell obviously can not play unless peeps from the 15 are out of the tournament.Fletchial will not start unless Nicky P is injured/

This is exactly why we were upset when typically, visionless, tribal west indians pigeonholed Pollard and Simmons as whiteball cricketers....and pushed grossly inferior talents to the fore.
And yes, shepherd went for 108 runs in 10 overs. He got that beating because he got picked for the SL series for virtually doing nothing
Hoss your arrogance is only exceeded by your ignorance.
