Is anyone surprised that Rampaul wasn't even included in the provisional 30-man squad?

Rampaul cant fit on the plane.

This Fletcher chap keeps on appearing without any real achievements!!!!

Its a 30 man souad. half will be thrown away.

Who is bigger these days, Rampual or Samit Patel?

West Indian selectors are stupider than dirt and you can't help them. It's the Mugabe syndrome.. they will destroy WI cricket completey instead of running it like a modern sports franchise and trying to make improvements.

Phew !! ... I've never heard of some of those names... e.g. Marquino Mindley 

Has anyone? 

My concept of this selection committee is 'put names in a hat'

I am as he is perhaps their best ODI bowler.

Yes.

Mindley is a WI U19 player from Jamaica. He has played for the Jamaica senior side.

It is highly unlikely that he will be in the final 15.
