Just 3 proper bowlers?

Carl Hooper and Dwane Bravo's gonna bowl 20 overs for him.

 

[Van_Sri]

Surely Hope wil be the keeper?? Also no Greenidge?

Chanderpaul was better Opener Scored 7 Centuries a better strike rate

 

[sayon basak]

Greenidge is definitely one of the openers. Gayle was an ok bowler in ODI'S.
Roberts has to be there.

 

[DrWolverine]

1. Greenidge
2. Gayle
3. Viv
4. Lara
5. Lloyd
6. Hope(wk)
7. Russell/Pollard/Bravo/Hooper
8. Ambrose
9. Holding
10. Walsh
11. Garner

 

[DrWolverine]

Not sure whom to pick as the all rounder
Hooper - Spin option
Bravo - Solid bowler and can bat well
Pollard - Destructive batsman
Russell - Destructive batsman

Chanderpaul was better Opener Scored 7 Centuries a better strike rate

Come on now. Look at the eras that they played in. Greenidge's adjusted S/R would definitely be better than Shiv's (and already has a better average).

And what about the 7 centuries? Greenidge scored more.

 

[Van_Sri]

Carl Hooper and Dwane Bravo's gonna bowl 20 overs for him.

Viv Richards and Chris Gayle too
