The ultimate WI ODI team?

weh TD ::confused:: ::confused::

he not deh to mind his own thread ::confused:: ::confused::

Fredericks and Kanhai didn't play many ODIs.

WI only had 3 decent ODI keepers: Ramdin, Dujon and Ridley Jacobs. Jacobs was an underrated batsman, picked too late in his career, when he was too old. Ramdin is probably the best batsman of the three, but is very inconsistent. Dujon was a legend, but was never really tested.

Quote:Fredericks and Kanhai didn't play many ODIs.

But their batting styles made then a surety in that form.  Kanhai actually stood with Lloyd to make a match winning championship for the west indies

I got to know Jacbs when he was a youth player.  deh called him Ragsberg Jacobs then.  later on I see dem calling him Ridley.

but Ridley or Ragsberg as a youth he racked up large tons all the time it seemed.  I was looking forward to west indies piking him but it almost did not happen.  that bwoy was a good player and a lot of his time was wasted before his late pick.

I agree with TD on Jacobs.  and on Ramdin too as batsman.  Ramdin can really bat from what I have seen of him..good technique, defense, can score with proper shots around the wicket.  but he has never lived up to his batting ability.

and it was the same with Dujon..for even more than Ramdin Dujon could bat like the devil himself

Whom kept wicket in WC 75 and 79 ?

must be Murray

which means we have to give precedence to those who excelled at them..at world class levels...
which is why Sarwan is a first choice.  he was one of the best ever ODI batsmen.

Chap celebrating his 36th birthday TODAY

Already with 3 children !!

TD, this thread is applicable to today's Eliminator !

hhhhmm.....Cane this ultimate squad BEAT the Proteas 

Quote:I know the tradition is to stick with Greenidge and Haynes but I opted for Fredericks with his old opening partner.

correct is rite!

Greenidge/Freddo combo has a better record than G/H!!  They just did not have the longivity!


Anyone not picking Sobers and Kanhai in a WI t20 team does not know history!

Kanhai was to test cricket what ABD is to T20 (Today)!  Innovative and destructive!
