[size=14pt]Marlon Samuels has a first class average of 40.39 and a test average of 36.74 after 49 tests----his numbers don't lie---Marlon is an ordinary batsman.[/size]
Samuels is an ordianry batsman but he is better than Deonarine but he cant bowl any more
which is why I wish to see Samuels at #6.
it would be more productive for the west indies if we can get Kirk in at 3 dropping Samuels to 6...Kraigg in at open with Gayle..while we await Barath and his reconstitution of himself
Understand Gayle has played his last test Bharat will not be coming back he is done
I see deo stands a better chance than Samuels
Kraigg stands a better choice

How do you compare a guy with twice as his experience with a rookie? He's been in the side for a long time. Deo is just finding his feet. Hardly a fair comparison.
