[color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Browne wants not to just carry on the procedures former chairman, Clive Lloyd used, but to build on the methodologies used to get the best performing team on the pitch at all times. Browne thanked Lloyd for his service and acknowledges the advice he continues to receive.[/color]

[color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Denesh Ramdin had expressed dissatisfaction with his non-selection on the Test squad for the upcoming series against India on social media last week, following dialogue with the Chairman of Selectors. This was in breach of the WICB policy and the terms of his retainer contract. As a consequence, Ramdin has since been sanctioned.[/color]
[color=rgb(0, 0, 0)]Ramdin was a member of the one-day-international squad which placed second in the recently concluded Ballr Tri-Nation series with Australia, South Africa and the West Indies. Australia were the eventual winners.[/color]

Lara record in danger with that bowling attack.

Holder, I assume, is in the team as an allrounder but do you think he merits a place in this team.

Is either his bowling or batting good enough and do you still support him as Captain?

From a bowling perspective, I think he is a solid fourth seamer. Someone that can hold an end up. He doesn't go for a lot of runs, but at the same time, isn't particularly menacing or likely to be a strike bowler. Trouble is, he is being used as the new ball bowler or as the first change.

Is his batting and/or captaincy good enough to overcome his deficiencies with the ball, and allow him to be the first choice all-rounder?

I'm not sure you can play both Brathwaite and Holder in the same team. They are both too similar. For me, it's an either or. I think you can make a good argument that Brathwaite has the higher ceiling and has put up better fist-class numbers.

Yep, this will be the same ad nauseum arguments of Sammy and Holder.

with Sammy as the Captain.

we have gone full circle  :-[
