Re: 15-member West Indies squad for the upcoming series of five One-day - Mail - 09-25-2014
We are talking West Indies and a new Chairman of selectors.
I wonder what the view would ahve been had Johnson not been selected who I actually see more as a Test prospect.
Why would you select a man dropped in June for a string of poor performances and after 156 ODIs average a paltry, unacceptable 31!
Why would Lloyd return a confirmed failure in Smith and who after 91 ODIs average 17?
Where do I start with Sammy? He simply is not good enough but T20s yes.
Also what is Holder's role in the squad. He looked very impressive and promising as a 19 year old but seems to have gone backwards with speed, variation, movement etc.
He is capable of batting but what does that mean?
I certainly would have had Blackwood instead of either Johnson, Sammy, Samuels.
I hope they do well and prove me wrong.

Quote:this is bad work by LLoyd. I was hoping for the better side to emerge in this selector role from that old soup drinking skunt. seems like my hope is wasted.
now you believe me when I told you that he was just looking for retirement income??? >

All Nations are scared of " rocking the boat " for WC 2015 !
England appear to be in a conundrum re a competitive XI ! likewise Australia...

I think this is a poor approach for West Indies to take !
Pybus should "direct " Lloyd to introduce the Youth and have him in the WC squad !
