Chandri for Chanders

http://www.espncricinfo.com/west-indies-...82527.html

The uncapped duo of Shane Dowrich, who scored twin fifties against the touring Australians,

and [i]Rajindra Chandrika [/i]find a place in the team.

Chandrika, the 25-year old batsman, averages 25 as well in first-class cricket.

But his selection into the national squad comes on the back of better recent form.

Besides the 74 he hit against the Australians, he's struck four fifties this year in the Regional four-day tournament.

Spinners Devendra Bishoo and Veerasammy Permaul :

who played only one of the three Tests of that series, have kept their places


Thats 3 Guyanese in the Squad ...


Soften the blow of Shivstah "drop"  >

Hope or Dowrich will play in Chanders' spot. Chandrika looks like he will be selected to open, block,  block and block some more, Guyanese style.

He has a poor record domestically, but you can see the thinking behind his pick. Lloyd's looking for an opener who can drop anchor.

TD , I am not looking at batting spot.

Chandrika has mediocre numbers : it is a "peace offering"  Cap  ** sigh **

Nah, West Indians dont appease. A West Indian selector pushed to select a Guyanese will do the opposite and select less Guyanese.

with all that brouhaha ?  nahhh ....they said 2 members after the OZ warm up .

Royston Chase got shafted after a wonderful attack on Siddle et al

               

brou·ha·ha  noun

1.excited public interest, discussion, or the like, as the clamor attending some sensational event;

2.an episode involving excitement, confusion, turmoil, etc., especially a broil over a minor or ridiculous cause:

Royston made 76 and 55 retired hurt against that awesome Oz pace attack,,,

Chandrika made DUCK

what can one conclude ?  :-\
