Here's my greatest West Indian team over the last 25 years. Warne - chairman - 09-24-2015
Here's my greatest West Indian team over the last 25 years. Please remember I had to play against them ! The great Viv Richards is the one player I really wished I played against, loved everything about him & we've become great friends too...
Brian Lara & Sachin Tendulkar were easily the best 2 batsmen of my generation, lots of other wonderful players too, but these 2 were in a different league....
Did I leave out anyone that should have made it in your opinion ?
D Haynes
P Simmons
R Richardson
B Lara ( C )
C Hooper
J Adams
R Jacobs
I Bishop
C Ambrose
P Patterson
C Walsh
These 4 fast bowlers were lethal & so hard to face !!!! A great team, wouldn't it be awesome if the WI were a really strong team again, international cricket needs a strong WI team....
Feedback welcomed !!!!!

Warne made two changes after posting the initial team, Gayle replacing Simmons and Shiv in for Jimmy Adams. The final XI:
D Haynes
C Gayle
R Richardson
B Lara ( C )
C Hooper
S Chanderpaul
R Jacobs
I Bishop
C Ambrose
P Patterson
C Walsh

Jimmy Adams is a better wicketkeeper/ Bats than Ridley !
Re: Here's my greatest West Indian team over the last 25 years. Warne - TRINIDADDY - 09-24-2015
I'd play these guys, if limited to the last 25 years:
Kraigg Brathwaite
Jimmy Adams
Brian Lara
R. Richardson
Ramnaresh Sarwan
Shivnarine Chanderpaul
Chris Gayle/D Bravo
Ambrose
Walsh
Bishop
Taylor
Adams was really great before his injury. His stats took a major nose-dive afterwards. Might swap Taylor for Narine or a spinner.
