We have a starting XI of Team management personnel.

Im ping we are able to see consistent good performances on the field of play before I can applaud all these guys traveling with the tram.

Other than that good tram I guess we wont see Aljo and Seales back, with white ball in hand, till the PDIs

@positiveg

I think you meant Aljo and Shamar. I hope they can be back for the Test series.

@voiceofreason

Yep thanks for the correction. Do hope the three with Jayden included can be ready for thr Tests for aure ans Motie too.

But I do hope Aljo is ready for the ODais cause he'll need to be acclimated to NZ then before the tests.

Them man just left yesterday and will probably be there Monday NZ time to play Wednesday afternoon

@voiceofreason

I didn't think Springer had a good CPL but I thought he would have broken through before now. Wish him the best.

@methodic

I am wondering if this move is strategic. Meaning to allow some rest for key fast bowlers leading into the tests. Thus being part of a bowler management plan

If so, how ready is Springer for the international stage given his most recent regional performances? Thus will this widen the pool or backfire as an experiment?

Word from Machel on Caribbean Cricket Podcast is that Shamar Joseph will NOT be included in the test. If that's the case we need some clarity on the matter.

@InHindsight

Also should we start cueing up that Boyz 2 Men classic for Hety?

@methodic

He did not have a good CPL, so quite a surprise pick. Perhaps they will interchange him with Shep in a deadrubber.

Sounds like you've already given up.

Are we saying that it is that difficult to get a sports psychologist willing to work with the West Indies team, or are they simply hard to come by?

To those knowledgeable on the matter, how useful and a clinical psychologist be when compare to their related counterpart?

Genuine enquiry. Not hitting at CWI

It is amazing that they announced the team now when the tour starts on Wednesday.

licks like peas

Sammy Batty Lickers ....HAMCs

@Narper

Sadly, NZ is a good team; CWI will get their rasses kicked.

NZ has always been a weak point in West Indies cricket.🤔

@InHindsight

No they are not, just another cost cutting measure, one coach, mostly all format players, smaller squad. When we need to grow, we shrinking.

@methodic

Springer did bowl some death overs CPL....winning matches....his bowling was very good but batting falter.....he was in Nepal....now N.Z. ...to my mind, he is very good pick....Forde & Springer...adds depth in batting and bowling...

@sgtdjones

True.....but this white ball team has very good potential....can surprise....

Team objective should be to win atleast one ODI.....direct qualification....

We perform better than England...
