George you keep making a statement as if you know this to be fact. Words to the effect:

"
If WIs had gone to the WT20 with a young team and failed they'd as this one did the criticism would be more?"

It would seem to me that you are trying to excuse the horrendous, absurd selection of past-due-date players.

Have you forgotten the poor form and recent form of Gayle leading into the WC?

Have you forgotten the controversy regarding exemptions on fitness for some players.

While I will not in no way discount experience as a criteria for selection but this was unduly heavily weighted in this direction.

Even more bizarre was the selection of the likes Oshane Thomas and Darren Bravo. Oshane had be struggling for form and fitness leading into the WC and Bravo has little by way of record or form to show.


This selections has been disastrous and I do agree with you that the machinery had not allowed WI to quality consistently. But this does not justify the wholesale questable selections to the WC squad.

More to say on the matter cool
