He also slammed West Indies selectors for not picking off-spinner Sunil Narine, all-rounder Dwayne Bravo and pacer Ravi Rampaul in the touring West Indies Test squad for the ongoing series.

"The selectors have got it wrong. I don't know if they have labelled Narine a T20 or ODI bowler. He's the best in the world in that version in the game. That does not mean he would not improve his game for the Test format. Knowing that you've a Test at the Eden, where he plays for KKR, a Test in Mumbai, I see no reason why leave a successful cricketer like Narine back home," he said.

"Bravo baffles me as well. He deserves to be in any Windies team. I'm baffled just like you. They have won with this line up, but it's always going to be difficult in India. We did not turn up at the Eden at all with the intensity. Let's hope selectors get it right."

this west indies side has a new flavor of bias....and the only name I can put to it is Skameron.

The coach loves Tino the clown..insists on walkin' with his fave buffoon..doh feel comfortable without him. thats one pace place taken

next Flavor is an older bias...Sammy..2 places

the New pres insists on more Yardie places now that "I is chaiman."

So "wats the point if I am chairman... :

"

so Cottrell in...another place gorne Cottrell.

now Permy. I cant understand Permaul's pik. dat one have mih stymied. I mean I like the kid, and I will not fault him in this test despite skunts Sammy and Gibson unloading on him. but he cant be in the side before Narine,,even if we play 2 offies

then we have Waltons pik...2 keepers. mucking up the selection..especially when Walton does not bring more but less to the table than Ramdin

mah mah! this side looks like the rise of Skamerons BS in replacement of Hunters BS. >

Lara in a momentary lapse has forgotten that the Quota has been met... Shiv and Permaul or maybe he wants to load up the team wid Trinis .. He could have mentioned Narsing as well

Travis	Chiefs vs. Cowboys preview Week 13 Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun. Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

Serena	This batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.
