Quote:Buoyed by a few good recent performances, especially their stunning victory at Leeds, West Indies fans would have approached the New Zealand series hoping their beloved team had left behind their lacklustre past and was heading into a brighter future. But, as the series progressed, as the Caribbean side suffered loss after crushing loss, the feeling that came to the fore was one of disappointment. The fans expected much; the team delivered very little.

Windies lost every completed international game on tour, losing all three tests, all three One Day Internationals (ODIs), and two of three Twenty20 games. The other was washed out after just nine overs.

Those of us who might have overreacted to the Leeds victory, thinking it heralded a new dawn in West Indies cricket, have had to reevaluate our outlook.

AND so it will be until blogs like yours call out the Selection Panel !
for selectees based on Insularity and NOT merit !

#3
Like which ones. Educate me and name who should be in the test team and who should not be there

#4
u are obviously being tongue in cheek.....
surely u have put together by now your ideal XI :unsure:

In the event you have not may I hint ? : darren bravo, Ramdin, Leon johnson, Bishoo
to be continued...

#5
List your ideal 11. I'm not sure what mine is. Maybe I could think about it

#6
IF you have to think about it , then you are not with the programme !

Hints : look at why 1 country can dominate 4 Championship years on 4 day matches
n.b : the new format of ICC Test cricket where Saffies beat Zim in 2 + days
Look at the 4 year in a row Championsp make up of the squad
emulate it ....for international games !

tbc....

IF indeed the purpose of the R4D Tournament is to
Staff the International XI.
we know the Team is not selected on Merit .

list the consistent playing XI of the last 4 Years champions XI
That is a good start for you personal education...

#9
I probably could be persuaded to make one or two changes but I think this is a better team than we field right now.

Brathwaite
Lewis
Bravo
Hope
Chase
Hetmyer
Ramdin
Miller
Roach
Joseph
Gabriel

So i take it the 4-day regionals is NOT : to staff the cWI international squad ??
Most of your guys above get beaten up by the Champions : last 4 years inna row !
So your guys do NOT merit a selection ....

wheel and come again : this time looking at the 4 day Champions Squad !
