Tino Best!

Really?

I could put together the 14 man squad for them
no need for 30

Skipper,


Too right.


What is your 14?

Only4 wicketkeepers ? I think they need a couple more. 
You can never have enough

Is  SAmurels and Sammy so good that Shive can't break the barrier

Notable absence is young Evin Lewis who played such good innings in the Champions League where the opposition was world class. Walton is a surprise after his series of ducks. Fletcher / Simmons are the obvious back up keepers. Cottrell did his case a lot of harm by going to India not fully fit. Several of these have poor form so the regional 50s may shed some light but the standard in these games is too low for my liking.
