[size=10pt]The selectors should go in with this test team and batting order:

Not too shabby  8)

who is your skipper

So a man picking Dowrich ahead of Ramdin - SMH

give Samuels his walking papers and you can play L-B-H combination

[size=10pt]The selectors won't do this though. [b]They will play Ramdin [/b]and they will play one spinner. So damn boring.

West Indies need to stop playing Holder low down (he will become a passenger like Sammy) and switch to a 2 spin attack.

And stop selecting an unfit Roach.

Chanders need to retire fast. We got too many promising young people to blood, and at home is the perfect time.

I hope Dowrich and Hope get a game. Permaul and Bishoo need to play all tests together too.

The selectors need to think outside the box. [/size]

He did have a disclaimer !  :-[

Name yours !

Any recent news on Phil Simmons  : is he bonding with de bwoys ?    :-\

http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/con...56715.html

Shai Hope, 21, is a stylish No. 3 batsman whose 211 for Barbados against Windward Islands was the tourney only double-hundred;

Shane Dowrich, 23, a diminutive wicketkeeper who averaged 51.25 batting at No. 6.

That Miguel Cummins, 24, is the only new fast bowler on the list indicates weakness in an area that was traditionally

West Indies' strength.

Well this should be easy for the team management. All they have to do is pick the 11 that is the least bad among the lot. I hope they include Sheldon because he deserves a chance unlike some others.
