West Indies should include another quick bowler in the squad along with joseph. Holder is doing well. IF they qualify for world cup, they should play Holder, Alzari, Akeal, Sinclair/cariah and another fast bowling option. This will be a perfect Bowling option along with Mayers to bowl a bit.

Gabriel would probably be an option, only he takes an age to get through his overs and is ridiculously expensive when his radar is off.

Other options, Sheldon Cottrell has been lacking fitness for a while now while the lesser spotted Oshane Thomas is currently playing club cricket in Gloucestershire.

I think the fact we are winning so comfortably despite playing pretty mediocrely in patches is a good sign. Shai at number 4 makes a huge difference to our lineup in the middle overs, allowing Pooran to do his thing. We need to bring in Hety or Athanaze for Charles/Brooks at 3 and then you're looking at a pretty powerful batting lineup.

The bowling needs work though :(.

Almost all matches same
Average 1st 4 wkts fall early than many run scores in next 35 overs. Many matches boring. Hasaranga took 11 wkts now in the tournaments -- the most vs many player lacks technique to play top spin

And in terms of batsman Johnson Charles should be replaced by Alick. Playing Johnson doesn't make any sense especially in Odis. He is already 34+.

Yep this seems an obvious move for the India series. Alick or Hety fit perfectly into the way Sammy/Hope are trying to mould our batting lineup to be more aggressive and better at rotating strike. Brooks and Charles are not the answer.

I think they have to try a few things in our ODI bowling lineup. Perhaps take a long term punt on Ramon Simmons who has decent pace and a deadly yorker but hasn't much experience so will occasionally be expensive. Similarly McKenney Clarke. I think Oshane is done unless we see dramatic improvement in his fitness. The other option is to give Drakes a chance as he offers left arm variety, good variation and batting abilty.

Yeah drakes could be a really good option but if wi qualify i think a 90mph bowler could be a better option on Indian soil where there is not much pace and swing to offer. And wi should definitely drop rostan and brooks and never bring them back. I am fed up of them.

I have basically given up on Chase being dropped from any format ever. We are stuck with him so there is no point getting aggravated aymore :(.

Berrington should have played for England
Click to expand...
Eng need Rehan more than Mo because when you need wkts Rehan is more handy ( he also youngest spinner of eng or may be in the world with 5 fer on Debut)

Berrington for eng?
No

Eng They need 2 keeper one for only Keeping, & other only batting specialist

Ben Foakes & Johnny Baistow good
Johnny just need to whack against old ball.

If wi can win this they will surely qualify for the World Cup. The game will give lot of confidence to them but if they lose the super six will be to tough
