Philip Verant Simmons :-\
WTH !!
ver·dant adjective
(of countryside) green with grass or other rich vegetation.

Veteran batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul has also justly been omitted,
as has, somewhat unluckily, left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul.
Newcomer, Barbados’ Jomel Warrican, is preferred to Permaul :
to provide contrasting left-arm orthodoxy...
these selections being gambles worth taking right now >

Still, I would have played Permaul and Bishoo together in Sri Lanka.
They work well together, can bat a bit too and it would have been fun to see them in tandem
Warrican is only 23; he has time. Perhaps he was selected because he can bat too. I have no idea.

Fact of the matter is : you DEBUT guys AT HOME.
The reason for dropping Shiv : was to debut Hope and Dowrich AT HOME right now
Now the 2 sided MOUTHS talking , like Croft :
"Newcomer, Barbados’ Jomel Warrican, is preferred to Permaul :
these selections being gambles worth taking [size=10pt]right now[/size] "
Re: Coach Simmons define Wishful Thinking - ketchim - 09-07-2015
see how irresponsible Croft as a journalist can be ??
BUT he just will NOT bat for an Indo NOR his village neighbour , Shiv !
we all know players are better DEBUT :AT HOME
Croft is a disingenuous Guyanese skunt !
Re: Coach Simmons define Wishful Thinking - Rowe992 - 09-07-2015
If having ambition and wanting the team to improve is wishful thinking then let Simmons continue. Simmons alone will never cause a turn around because ultimately it is all up to the players.
Re: Coach Simmons define Wishful Thinking - ketchim - 09-08-2015
The players are a group of Kids.
one getting DEBUT away in Lanka .
at the expense of the experienced Permaul.
Having never won a series there : this squad will be psychologically traumatised !
