Didn’t I say Mayers, McCoy & Allen were wasted picks??

Can’t even buy a wicket against Nepal.
Their best days are behind them. No upside in selecting them at this stage of their careers. Time to give young players a chance.

Allen can still bat, but I never understood why he was used a s a bowling allrounder in the past. His batting was always better than his bowling. McCoy looks like he could lose some weight

Fielding seems to have been terrible. This is the first game, give the guys some time. I would agree that Mccoy needs to lose some weight.

Why was Jewel Andrew picked before Gore? Makes no sense.

They continue to force ripe Jewel Andrew... he had an awful CPL yet he's in the squad to Nepal.

Yes, the youngster got talent but he needs to do a whole lot of work on his game.. at the moment I don't think T20 is for him.

Can you believe this has been my sentiment.

He needs to work on his game versus spin and also more attention building an innings barring this is T20

Couple of names that I think are more suited for T20s than some of the guys in this squad

1. Alleyne (the Bajan cowlasher)
2. Kofi James
3. Jyd Goolie

Mayers was the 3rd player I had mentioned also.
Way past their sell by date to be productive!
They are all wastes!

Mayers has been looking ordinary of late.

Has he ever taken responsibility in any game for WI? Genuine question

At this stage of the aforementioned, I have no confidence they are worth any further investment in West Indies cricket. They have already peaked, they will not get any better. Can’t you guys see that.
