WC questions

The WC squad:

Gayle
Dwayne Smith
Darren Bravo
Marlon Samuels
Ramdin
Lendl Simmons
Jonathan Carter
Holder
Narine
Russell
Sammy
Roach
Jerome Taylor
Cottrell

____________

Would you drop Ramdin and play Simmons as a keeper?

Would you play Simmons instead of Dwayne Smith?

Should Carter play?

Should Darren play?

Would you play 2 spinners? (spinners seem to pose more problems in ODIs to modern batsmen)

Holder, Sammy and Russell fulfil the same functions. But which two to play?

Is Sammy a better batsman than Holder?

Is Sammy a better bowler than Holder?

Is this WC team being "trial-runned" in the upcoming SA ODI tournament?

1. No I would rest Ramdin during these T2os( 2 done ) and play on the bench Chadwick

Play both Phil's nephew and tarzan( great attitude guys with team mates )

Yes to Carter .... Bravo will take as we say in GT "fire rage" for his brother

So play Deo.

Play Badree and Sunil ( hope one dont pelt)

Holder and Russel : leave Scam for 20 overs.

Hope they play the fellahs in the 5 game series.

ramdin has to play. he is the best keeper

Yes umpire : BUT that is a massive workload;

15 days of 3 test , 3 t20s , 5 Odis : then fly out for 2 warm up games against

Ireland and Scotland and then official WC matches..

there is only so much bending a man back can take .

and chirping his mouth and throat can handle  ::LOL::

I would have preferred bench warmer Chadwick Walton for the 3 T2os.

BUT alas : i am not a Selector...

Series is won so someone on bench will play

Ramdin need some of this Freshness reserved for Pollard and Big Bravo : for his WC appearance !

                     

TRINI,

You question is about the World Cup and not the series and your range of questions, valid as they are, just shows how imbalanced a team Lloyd has selected.

I can only identify 4 fronline batsmen, 5 if you include Simmons!

You need 6-7 batsmen, including the allrounder, and the 4 bowlers!

Me hearsay dat dem bajans say Carter is a "BIG OCCASION" player.

And dem bajans never wrong.

So look out for Carter in de world cup.

Excitement rising over the West Indies squad !  8)
