That is why, the selectors are doing their jobs, while you are posting stupidity, because you want to say something.
and not because you have something worthwhile today.

Selectors? It's one man selecting the team.

Chief selector, head scout and head coach.

As usual you are the voice of reason. I always laugh when they gripe about team selection when one their home boys are not selected. Six of one half a dozen of the other. How are we supposed to compete without one International quality batsman in the region ?

Unfortunately those are just names and the game is not played on paper.

stop this nonsense, you should know better, it makes no difference who or whom you select, the batmanship is not there, besides the names you listed all just played and did not fare any better, just support the guys, whoever plays and stop calling for changes, the fact is that australia is better than the west indies

With that said, our bowling is world-class. To take 40 wickets in 4 days of test cricket against a better team than yours is not something to scoff at. Well done to the bowling unit

Sadly no batsman would make a difference. We just do not have any batsmen in the West Indies who can really bat. At international level, an average batsman should have a test average at least in mid 30s and a good batsman would be in mid 40s and up. However, we do not have anyone who can even reach mid thirties. Ergo, our batting is not up to international level. Unless that can be changed, we can never go anywhere.

At least allyu char say that it is bias against small islands. Carty is from St Martin, only smaller than Grenada and St Kitts Nevis smile

The evidence so far is that carty isn’t a test nbatsman
Neither is king or Campbell
Kraigg is probably no longer a cricketer

You’re not going to just beat Australia. They’ve been the most consistent team ever. I can’t remember a bad Australian team…ever. Anyways, we’re competing but we can do better. The names I listed are just better than the ones I left out…. Not that they’re going to come in and beat Australia but it’s the building of a better team. That batting lineup I named is not getting bowled out in 27 overs. When was the last time one of our bowlers was the leading wicket taker in a series yet we’re down 2 nil after 2 games? We’re doing some things right, we just need to start doing other things better. Play better batsmen and take your catches.

Which batting line up? Where's the batting line up that you're talking about?

A bunch of guys that can't even buy a run in the FC system you got in there...

Why can't players that actually performed make that shyte team?
