Names of some of the young West Indian cricketers who might pave the way forward for West Indies cricket, along with some of our experienced players, we certainly could add DaSilva to that list. The list is by no means exhaustive, as for the first time in a long time we have a number of young players knocking at the door and which could lead to a revolution of West Indies cricket if the old guards are prepared to manage WI cricket in a fair and sensible manner, with implementation of responsible development procedures and training for these young players, blended with our experienced players.

I wish Drakes and Kevlon Anderson had gotten a shot with this current A team as well.

Don't need dem fellas... Cariah, Phillips, Reifer and de other special ones got more to offer big grin

Ah don't see the hype around McAllister either... De man running in and bowl short whole day... might work against Bangladesh but better batsmen will beat that...

McAllister is Jamaican Thomas light! Anderson & Wickham should be there for sure!

Now would be a great time for West Indies to form a touring B-team with all those young players who were not selected to the A-team. Even intriguing would be a triangular series between the current A-team, the B-team and our current test team. CWI listened to us and for the first time introduced a pre-selection series to select A-team, this might be too much to ask from them.

The ‘test’ team would be severely tested.

In reply to Slipfeeler It would not be you if you did not put in your token Yardie and mention his name first.

Noticed throughout this match the plan was to attack the batsmen with short pitch bowling. Even Jordan and Phillip bowled plenty. McAllister is raw we see that but in the other matches he played in he attacked the wickets also.
