They have all vanished into thin air.Sammy made them vanish into thin air..Now Sammy is turning to be our biggest scapegoat.Sammy.._Blame it all on sammy...
Bravo sounds a good option,but i reckon he is not the best.Carlos Brathwaite was good for Barbados but he has got a low batting average.Nurse too fits in only as a batting all rounder..!!

Simmons top scored again today.... with 62 (4x4s 2x6s ) SR :121.5
Him and Pollard were in the middle together.
Pollard was not out on 14
Pollard was given 1 over to Bowl ....Simmons none :-[

I would now way take simmons into the windies team as an all rounder.He would never fit that tag.He bowls some gentle medium pace and can be easily thwacked out of the park.He doesn't have variations at all.Pollard to an extent is fine,but he has been out of form for quite some time now.

Deo stink up the place in New Zealand.
Truth is WI have no all rounders and have not had any for some time.
But I can't think of any "genuine" all rounder playing test cricket today. Last was Kallis.
[/quote] Shakib, certainly. He's good enough to be in the team as an SLA alone. Although he would also make it on most teams as #5 or #6 batsman. The guy has 11 5 wicket hauls (against all countries he's played except Zimbabwe, I think) - that should amount to something.
Simmons is definitely up there. Dwayne Bravo is, obviously, a great player, but he's too hyped. And not for bad reason, but he just has a large fan base because he is good. On the other hand, I think that Simmons needs a bit of polish but his statistics show that he has his games.. it's just that sometimes he doesn't, too.
