Would definitely pick Ryder ahead of Shakib in the context of that team. In fact I'd consider Mahmudullah too given that's a primarily batting role you've selected him in.

We could have won a test series against England too. After we won that first one in Hamilton we should have made the next two pitches roads and got 2 draws.I've heard it all now!!, you were a better team in 2008 when we toured NZ and still you couldn't beat us, since then we've beaten England and one could argue NZ have gone backwards, i'd bet any money that NZ wouldn't beat us whether it's home or away, in the Caribbean they'd do well to even draw a test imo, we might have taken a few hits against SA recently but NZ aren't SA.
Wonder who did something like that in the last 18 months?
And you'd be a VERY brave man to say that you would bet ANY money to say that NZ wouldn't beat WI in NZ. They sure could. They might not. But they sure could. And I'm sure they could get a draw in the Carribean if the Windies won the first test and then made the next two pitches batter friendly so there was no hope of a result.
EDIT: They would struggle at the moment to get a result actually. Lot of rain about.

Barath who scored a hundred then got injured? Sooo proven...
Deonarine and Samuels...we've faced their like from you before. I'm more scared of Chanderpaul and Gayle. Chanderpaul was red hot down here last time and Gayle started his good run here.
And we still held you out (cheez Bondy and O'Brien).
Roach has nothing to do with the batting. Irrelevant.

To be fair though, he might've had something to do with yours, and it was a two-way comparison.

I appreciate your humor Jez. Always good to see some stuck in there.

True, but I was staying in context and trying to forestall the big list of awesome West Indies players I knew were coming.
Thanks for giving him the excuse now dude.

NZ supporters have to have a sense of humour. I'd be suicidal if I followed this team and didn't get a wee bit realistic about it.

None of those batsman have established themselves as consistent successes...yet.

I don't think Bangladesh have played Australia or South Africa in the last 12 months sorry.So comparing a batsman who's been facing Bang of late to a batsman who has had to take on England, Aus and Sa in the last 18 months is fair? yeah of course it is!!

You also lost to England in 2009, funny that you never bring that series up though.Two years ago is 2008!!. we beat England in 2009 so at least it's only LAST YEAR!!

Yeah, you beat England 1-0 but since then what?I've heard it all now!!
2-0 England
2-0 Australia
2-0 South Africa
I don't know maybe it's just me but I think the Windies may have gone backwards since that famous triumph 18 months ago?

Well if you exclude the prank-Tests he played for West Indies D against Bangladesh, he actually does.
With the ball.

Don't blame us cause you didn't use your heads after you won the first test against England!!
, you're right that anything could happen in NZ but the ball would still be in our courte imo because we simply have the better players all across the park, Btw England had a whole FOUR TEST MATCHES to level the score and failed, so you can't just put our win down to the pitches.
