So when CWI announcing the ODI squad?

De data analytics man need extra time to come up with the numbers?

The t20 squad was released on the match day so I am guessing the ODI squad will be announced at the toss?

In reply to anthonyp

Naw, naw, dem have to have a look at the wicket and then the data and will announce the team after the toss.

See how improved we are? We won one game.

In reply to anthonyp



I can save them the time and effort. Here is all the stats and data required...

IMPORTANT INFO!!! WHAT IS NEEDED:

A pencil, paper and a hat.

DIRECTIONS FOR SELECTION PROCESS:

Do I need to continue..?

In reply to anthonyp

The day after the first ODI

Let’s see the Pakistani team scout that!!!

More licks coming to a ground near us...

EVERYBODY knows what a Sammy squad looks like

No need to have a song and dance squad announcement anymore

It picks itself

Bring your cricket gear, you might get a game.

Please continue, the Dear leader needs all the help he could get!

Waste Indies going to get licks like peas. Jumbie lashes in their tails. They will either lose 2 to 1 or 3 to nil against Pakistan. Don't count out another white wash. Please don't blame Scammy, the head and FOOT coach.

To be honest, they probably need time to determine who will be fit and available for the series

King, Lewis, Hetmeyer, & Powell were all out injured for the recently concluded T20 series. Are any of them available for this series?

Mayers had no visa for the T20 series. That should not be an issue as the 3 matches are being played in Trinidad. Unless Kamla has recently mandated a visa requirement from other Caribbean territories that we’re unaware of.

Do they continue to rest Alzari? Do they rest Shamar? Do they bring in Jayden for some match practice prior to going to India?

Should Motie be rested? Do they bring back Akeal Hosein to the ODI squad after an inexplicable absence? Does / Should Kevin Sinclair get another shot?

Maybe they bring in Warrican? Who will be the keeper? Should Hope open the batting or continue to come in down the order?

Lots of questions.

Likely sure picks:
Hope - Captain
Carty
Holder
Rutherford
Chase (only because Sammy is coach)


The rest? Who knows?

C'mon that's innovative....... won't allow the opposition to analyse the weakness of our team......just after toss....team announcement...... atleast one match, we have chance to dodge the opponent...

In reply to imusic

To be fair Hetmyer and Powell aren't in their ODI plans... so I don't think they would have been considered if they were fit.

The skipper got zero confidence in Motie so he shouldn't be anywhere near the squad... better off calling up Warrican, someone the skipper will trust.

Akeal should use the time to recover and be match ready for CPL... that aging TKR side will need him

Based on Instagram posts I know Jewel Andrew is there so you could add him to your squad...

In reply to anthonyp

Fair

In reply to imusic


I would suggest Oshane Thomas, even if it's only because we desperately need a Yardie in there.

At least with OT, VOR will have someone to pick on when (ok, if) $ammy's charges suffer yet another beat-down.

You want vor and powen to enter a state of permanent epilepsy?

Dem fellas release the squad...

I guess they made the decision to resr their # 1 bowler in ODI’s. I don’t have a problem with that.

What I have a problem with is they didn’t select a replacement. Matthew Forde is NOT anywhere close to a replacement. IMO, Johan Layne would be a better option as a replacement.

Having Forde, Greaves, and Shepherd is surplus to requirements. 3 of the identical type of cricketer. We’ve tried that in the past in ODI’s and it hasn’t worked so why keep with it?

Pick a specialist bowler to replace a specialist bowler.

Hosein continues to be excluded (maybe it’s his choice)

Surprised Holder is not in the squad (maybe it’s also his choice……although given his speech at the end of the 2nd T20I against Pakistan, one would think not)

Why would they not try out young Micah McKenzie? Don’t know of any A team tours coming up and everyone knows we desperately need a wrist spinner. Hell……the data SCREAMS for it. Really surprising this data centric management team doesn’t implement someone.

Oh well.

Lewis
King
Carty
Hope
Rutherford
Chase
Greaves
Ford
Motie
Shamar
Seales

3-0.....

In reply to imusic

According to the data... well the special numbers gathered by Seetaram, it shows that bits and pieces cricketers are highly successful in ODIs.

According to sources, dear leader was shocked when he got this info... so he made sure he picked all of the bits and pieces cricketers he could think of...

Chase
Forde
Shepherd
Greaves
