[size=18pt]LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 2015 WORLD CUP[/size]
* The WI announced 4 years ago that they will win the 2015 world cup.
* Gibson and Hillaire dropped Shiv after the 2011 world cup----they said they were "MOVING FAHWUD"
* Well, let's see how much they "MOVE FAHWUD" with the great Marlon Samuels, the great Lendl Simmons, the great Kieron Pollard, the great Darren Bravo, the great Dwayne Bravo, the great Darren Sammy.

HOW MANY OF YOU RECALL KEITH ARTHURTON'S SCORES IN THE 1996 WORLD CUP ?
Check them out:
* Arthurton was the BINARY MAN in that world cup.
* But he kept getting selected despite his failures because he was Captain Richardson's boy---the dottie connection.

At least he didn't clog up the middle, facing just 21 balls across his 5 innings of ineptitude.

Keith Arthurton was a useful player up till around 1994. He was good batsman, brilliant fielder, and decent left arm spinner.
But after 94 he was as good a bat as Courtney Walsh and was a wheelie bin of a spinner. Only his fielding remained to a high standard.

* Arthurton was always a shythound.
* Yes he scored 157* against Australia at Brisbane in 1992.
* And in 1994 he scored 126 against England at Sabina park.
* But on the whole he was dowmright mediocre.
Arthurton's stats
* In 1995 Shiv was dropped against Australia to make room for Arthurton----in 3 tests Arthurton scored: 26, 5, 16 and 14
* Then in 1996 they took Arthurton to England---his last 5 scores were: 0, 8, 17, 17, 13
* Arthurton's binary scores in the 1996 world cup marked the end of his mediocre career.
