Create the best WI team out of this list - TRINIDADDY - 02-22-2014
[size=14pt]You think it's easy being a selector? Trying arranging these names into Test, ODI and T20 teams.
Kriagg Brathwaithe
Kieron Powell
Kirk Edwards
Darren Bravo
Dwayne Bravo
Shiv Chanderpaul
Ramdin
Pooran
Johnson Charles
Sunil Narine
Jason Holder
Jerome Taylor
Kemar Roach
Sarwan
Jonathan Carter
Pollard
Evin Lewis
badree
Roach
Lendl simmons
Darren Sammy
You can't use Gayle or Samuels or Dwayne Smith. These guys are old, washed up and don't deserve more chances. Feel free to add more players to the above list, particularly bowlers.[/size]

[size=12pt]This my test team (please post yours), and batting order:
Brathwaithe (blunts balls and tires opposition bowlers)
Kieran Powell
Kirk Edwards
Darren Bravo
Chanderpaul
Ramdin
Kemar Roach
Jason Holder
Jerome Taylor or another fast bowler
Narine
Badree or another spinner or another fast (depends on opposition and pitch conditions)
This is my stable, gritty Test team. No flashy players, just old fashioned, slow and reliable. Powell is unreliable as hell, but I say stick with him.
______________
My ODI team and batting order:
Powell
Charles or Kirk Edwards
Darren Bravo
Carter
Simmons
Pollard
Pooran or Ramdin
Holder
Roach
Narine
Badree or another spinner or Sammy
Notable ommisions: Chanders, Sarwan, Shilly, Gayle, Marlon and Dwayne Bravo. Why drop them? Marlon and Gayle washed up in my opinion. Shilly is a chucker. Dwayne Bravo can probably make his way in if Simmons and Pollard consistently fail, as he has been batting well lately. Dropping Sarwan and Chanders is tough. I agree Pollard is a waste of time cowlasher, but I'm tired of all the other over-rated cowlashers.
____________
My T20 team and batting order
Evin Lewis
Powell
Pollard or another cowlasher
Darren Bravo
Charles
Simmons
Sammy
Narine
Roach
Holder or another spinner
Badree or another spinner
I think always play 2 or 3 spinners in a T20.[/size]
