1st Test: West Indies v England at North Sound

Left arm spinner Chris Sulker of Angoy’s Avenue took 6 for 9 from 6 overs, which together with 3 for 9 from 3 overs from off spinner Graham McKenzie restricted Police to 78 in 17 overs

I realize people consider Darren Bravo the very best WI batsman however with him opting out of NZ and SA and no red ball cricket behind him coming in in front of Leon Johnson who applied himself well in SA could be a little bit erroneous lets wish Darren performs and improves his present average of 16v England he has been given the support others would not therefore it is time for him to come to the party.

The West Indies love playing at home and they would give England a very good fight. In fact, if the West Indies pick a good team, they would defeat England in the Caribbean. We have to look at what we have, pick the best team and they must go out there and do the basics well. They have to understand that they can beat England and believe it and they can do it

Perhaps even play Holder at 4 or 5 and [size=10pt]turn him into a Kallis.[/size]
If the coaches select [size=10pt]Hope to open with countryman Paint[/size],this might work as well;
it's also a very brave move and might prove fruitful (both have similar styles and temperaments, and [size=10pt]Greenidge and Haynes[/size], their idols, were also both from Barbados).

Brilliant thinking : You are truly a windian Fan like me !  8)

Windies Head Coach, Phil Simmons, spoke to reporters to outline his plans. Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/windiescricket/wi...simmonsmp3 …

To be honest that is not a bad team, and could give England some problems.

Unfortunately, I bet the coaches will opt for a team that looks like this:

Paint
Devon Smith
Darren Bravo
Marlon Samuels
Ramdin
Blackwood
Chanders
Carlos
Benn/Bishoo
Taylor
Roach

Yeah I thinks that's the team that we will probably see. They might decide to continue with Jason Holder instead of Carlos and they might just hand Hope his cap in place of Blackwood.
