We need entertainment from Sammy!

 

[ganeshran]

Bravo was a delight to watch.

 

[ganeshran]

Nah, that only applies for people against the DRS.

This. Just because BCCI takes a stand against DRS doenst mean Indian fans lose the right to complain about poor umpiring or supporting the review system.

Let's go Bishoo! You got this!
EDIT: Jinx was not intentional. I swear.

Hmm.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

still back windies to fold under 480 its a matter of wicket.

Champion!


Yadav showed exactly what pace can do against the tail.They can seldom slog full, quick and straight stuff. Good win this and once again within four days. Kedwards and lil' Bravo should encourage Windies. Two definite finds for the future and could potentially end up as class batsmen.

Again, forced to think how good would this side be for Windies:


Gayle
Barath/Edwards
Bravo Jr.
Samuels
Shiv/Edwards
Bravo Sr.
Baugh/Ramdin (wk)
Taylor
Rampaul
Fidel Edwards
Bishoo

Bravo Sr. should come in Samuels' place. Marlon Samuels is a joke of a test cricketer.

Samuels > Big Bravo as a batsman. Any day of the week and on any surface.

The question is what does West Indies need more? A solid, technically superior batsman (who's a **** spinner, btw) or an all-rounder who can be inspirational but isn't that good in either discipline.

Bravo Sr. much better?

 

[Howe_zat]

Bravo Sr. is entirely mediocre in both disciplines. The only player they're really missing is Gayle.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

They're going to put up a VVS statue at the Eden Gardens!

If its an all-rounder I don't know what Sammy has done wrong to still be labelled 2nd in line to Bravo senior. Keeps taking wickets, scores useful runs, decent captain.

Gayle
Barath
Bravo junior
Chanderpaul
Edwards
Samuels
Baugh
Sammy
Rampaul
Edwards
Bishoo

IMO their ideal team. Tempted to include Taylor or Roach at the expense of one of the batsmen.

can agree with that...

If they play Samuels they have to play him as a batsman, and Sammy has to vow that he won't give Samuels more than 2 overs in any innings under any circumstances

This. Hate people saying the Windies are missing Bravo Sr. He was dropped and for a good reason

Agree with you, and Samuels is doing a good job and Sammy as an allrounder has been contributing enough , Bravo Sr. dosn't even fit in the squad.

Rohit replaces Yuvraj for third test. Rohit has been in really good form this domestic season
