You on something special if you think they deserve to be in any test squad based on recent performances.

Imagine those guys making your squad ahead of fellas who actually performed...

Where is Anderson?
Where is Warrican?

Warrican got the best stats for batsmen and bowlers at the test level in the past year.. yet he can't make your squad?

Stick to all things Jamaican... this cricket thing is not for you.

Agreed they both have a case, especially Warrican, who performed well last series with both bat and ball. However, each series and pitches are different but we are expecting consistency among our players but the fact that a player played well in one series is not a guarantee that he will do well in the next series, despite our expectations. Remember Shai Hope, when he scored those two centuries against England, no WI fan or officials would have expected him to struggle after that series, we all thought that he was well on his way to test greatness, despite his ODI batting excellence. That been said, It was an oversight on my part not to include Warrican, certainly deserves reselection.

Boss, Kirk McKenzie has done nothing recently to warrant Test selection. He will be lucky to make the A-Team tours.

The all rounders we have ....
Greaves
Holder
Chase
Sinclair

I have chosen Holder, ahead of Greaves.... because although Greaves was good with bat....his bowling was below par....Chase ahead Sinclair ....

Layne and Jewel should also be in squad.....as trainees..

If he continues to perform, he will certainly get opportunities, WI cricket has seen its fair share of regional bullies who are not good international cricketers, I hope that he will transitioned into a useful player for WI.

This looks like a fitting description of Kirk McKenzie ... SMH
