Re: Questions - Mail - 09-16-2014
I go to the region 3-5 times per annum but those like Ketchim, Rev, Googs, Cappo might know better...
1. Drop Kirk forever? Keep him on your radar but drop him. He could possibly develop a good technique. Traditionally Bims have been the best for techniques.
2. Should Gayle open with Paint in India, or should Leon or perhaps someone else? Like someone said about Brathwaite's double ton against Bangladesh, it is only Bangladesh but I think young Leon has looked the part. I have not seen any uncorrectable technical flaws, so if he wants to open, as I am sure he would, let him and you could do worse right now. Gayle should be dropped from tests.
3. What do we think of Leon? as above. He looks the part so he deserves a good run now.
4. What do we think of Blackwood? Love his attitude and he has a future. Impressed me against a strong Kiwi attack.
5. Should Blackwood bat below Shiv? NO, not normally but the lad is new and he needs to learn from the likes of Shivster. Shiv is currently the windies best batsman and he should bat at 3 but no lower than 4.
6. Is Benn a good test spin bowler or are his wickets due to the sheer number of overs he typically bowls? I never had time for Benn because of his attitude but he should not be removed. Not the best but when selected he has toiled and he should be recognised for this.
7. Which bowlers do we take to India? Roach, Rampaul, Taylor, Gabriel, Brathwaite, Narine, Benn
8. What's up with Darren Bravo? He has a good average and one of your best so do persevere. Ramdin will support him.
9. Why does Tino Best look like a Ninja Turtle?so
10. Shannon Gabriel - waste of time or PACE LIKE FYAH? Latter and he needs to be given the opportunity to develop....
11. What to do with Holder? He is a good prospect but seems more a batting allrounder. I would not select him for tests and ODIs just now.
12. Guyana: Yes or No? Guyana as guyanese know best..ameen

Methink he retired about 7 years ago :-[
Re: Questions - Rowe992 - 09-22-2014
Well I think Edwards should be dropped base on his current form and not retained because he has a better average than a lot of the current batsmen after 17 test. I think Gabriel is an ordinary bowler and he should be dropped for the India series. I think Blackwood should bat before Shiv in the order.
