I'm not sure how he did it, well he probably hit the gym, but Rampaul has been very good since the world cup when he randomly picked up a 5er. There's no way Samuels should be on solo spin duty either

Wasn't necessarily talking about India.
I think my main point is that I think Roach has the potential to be the WIndies's best bowler since Ambrose/Walsh. And for that matter, he should be picked.

I think you just vastly over-rate him tbh.

I don't think anyone should deny that Roach has the raw materials to be the best West Indian fast bowler since Ambrose, but he has certainly lost the plot recently. His pace is down and he has lost that amazing inswinger which bowled down a number of batsmen when he first came on the scene.
It's peculiar, but Otis Gibson has overseen a dramatic improvement in Ravi Rampaul and the complete regression of Roach. I certainly wouldn't have predicted that a couple of years ago.
Also, I completely disagree with anyone who thinks Bishoo should not be an automatic starter when fit in any Windies test xi anywhere in the world. He is our best spinner since Ramnarine and decent leggies can completely transform a bowling attack.

The Windies will have a random batting collapse unfortunately.
Reckon the problems with Roach are in his head. Gone off the rails the whole year

Kohli Vs. Yuvraj - WI in India
Who do you think should be in the middle order? Kohli definitely deserves a chance with his recent performances. Yuvi is more experienced and on home turf - can be a formidable batsman and tricky spinner to face too.
My preference is just maybe towards Kohli - I think he'll make it into the test team eventually, so good time to blood him in properly in a home series against a not too threatening looking WI team.

Yuvraj, though I would be tempted to play Kohli.
Don't mind him playing in Australia even if he averages 30-35 there, provided he does well here. His bowling might be handy as well. Kohli's also got problems against the short ball which I imagine might be a problem against both the WI and Aus, so I'd pick the guy with more experience.
