Good.

Will atleast make the series more competitive, although we will still win it comprehensively.

Wish they could select Sammy, too.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

not good for us, Narine will bamboozle our players especially on Guyana pitches.

Simmons has always been a Pakistan basher

 

[volcyz]

Don't think they will make much of a difference, but you never know with T20's where someone could just have a flukey good day.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Narine , Badree, simmons, pollard are good additions... Will be a tough competition for pakistan.

 

[Syed1]

Why don't they select Sammy?


Carlos Brathwaite has done next to nothing in his career apart from those four sixes. Sammy still wipes the floor with him as captain, bowler and batsman.

jheeze, I expect tough competition now

 

[Markhor]

Why don't they select Sammy?


Carlos Brathwaite has done next to nothing in his career apart from those four sixes. Sammy still wipes the floor with him as captain, bowler and batsman.

WICB's Chairman's ego won't allow it after Sammy publicly criticised the board last year.

He's not playing 50 over cricket as the WICB policy is you are only eligible for selection if you play the domestic 50 over competition.

However things may change with new CEO Jimmy Grave and new Director of Cricket Jimmy Adams who replaced Richard Pybus who introduced the policy.

Looks like a fairly strong squad.

A Top 7 of:

Fletcher
Lewis
Samuels
Simmons
Pollard
Brathwaite
Narine

Indeed looks deadly

 

[nighthawk23]

Sammy himself admitted he wasn't good enough to be in the T20 team.

 

[birdistheword]

What happened to dwayne bravo and gayle? are they booked for ipl?

DJ bravo have injury problems and Gayle is finished.

 

[Citizen4]

A Top 7 of:

Fletcher
Lewis
Samuels
Simmons
Pollard
Brathwaite
Narine

Indeed looks deadly

deadly is a strong word.
They are inconsistent players. Samuels and Simmons are not the same anymore. can't expect a big knock from Pollard either, he's only good enoguh for a quickfire 20-30. This batting line up can collapse easily as well because top order is very inconsistent.

 

[Citizen4]

the bowlers can win a match for WI but not the batsmen.

Narine, Badree, Williams, Taylor, Brathwaite is a good enough attack for t20s. DJ Bravo will be missed.

Is this normal to make announcements in mid series unless there is an injury?
