What's with the Gayle votes.

Fredericks was well clear of him as an opening batsman.

Holding should have been in the first XI over Lance Gibbs. Significantly better bowler.
WI already had Sobers to bowl some spin.

Holding should have also been in ahead of Garner.

But what bothers me is why Hunte over Worrell. There's no argument.

Worrell didn't open enough in test cricket (only opened 6/87 inns), hence didn't vote for him

If you have those guys up for selection and one if them have actually opened, and if that quality. You're leaving him on the bench?

I don't make Xis that way. We never know how someone's career might have been if they played at a different position, especially opening. Middle order adjustments are fine but opening is a different task altogether. If I were making an IND all time Xi, and hypothetically my middle order was full and Kohli wasn't getting in, I wouldn't remove Sehwag for Kohli in the xi even if he opened the innings a couple of times

WI aren’t finishing games with Holding. Sobers the spinner isn’t bowling here, he is way below the quality as spinner.

This is a joke right

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

This is a joke right

The overrate is gonna be a big problem to finish games with 4 quicks. With Gibbs, they are winning lot more games and without they are gonna draw lot more.
