Until the last couple of days, it had been assumed that Vettori had ruled himself out of the WI series. He'd gone on the record supporting Sodhi's selection for the tests. I think the selectors are really keen to bring him in though, and his form is pretty good as you say, so maybe he can be talked into coming back early.
And in the last 10 years, WI have won 5 Test matches against non-minnows (out of 81).
Yeah..one of those five leading to the series win against England in 2009!!..fond memories indeed.
...something is seriously wrong in our cricket and it needs investigating!!..you can't continue to pick a captain that is utter tripe and brings nothing to the table while ignoring the likes of Rampaul and Narine!!..it's just not logical any way you look at it. Then in the batting department they've kept faith with the waste of space Gayle despite Brathwaite being the most inform batsman in the entire caribbean!!..and why pick Shillingford when he was called again against India? does that make sense? 
Spot on, I only disagree about Cummins. New Zealand is the best possible debut for the young man and is potential is higher than anyone else we have. Him and Roach with the new ball could be devastating for years to come.Anyway lads!!..after the news came through that the most pathetic selection panel in human history has decided to retain the same bunch of losers who embarrassed the great WI shirt in India and also rub salt in the wound by keeping that utter joke Darren Sammy as captain it really hit me for six!!!..even now i don't know if i can stomach watching the series!!
I'm just fed up of those frauds running our cricket!!..Sammy is a spineless pr/ck who has somehow got himself a gig for life despite being the most incompetent cricketer we've had in recent history!!..
The team i would have picked would be
Brathwaite
Powell
Fudadin/Edwards
Darren Bravo
Samuels
Chanderpaul
Ramdin (wk) (c)
Holder
Roach
Rampaul
Narine
They've decided to stick with the status quo because if we get a result they can all praise the "captain" again and hide behind the "can't change a winning team" excuse once again despite him not taking wickets or making runs.
Clive Lloyd and Mikey Holding have called on him to resign and the major caribbean papers are going mad right now!!...it's a total embarrassment and i really don't care what happens in NZ!!....the truth is a defeat might be better for us long term!!..but even then i don't think we can trust the selectors or Gibson to do the right thing!!...they still keep their pet puppies like Tino Best and Sammy in the job!!.

Yeah, I guess when you've only won 2 out of your last 27 series then they do stick in the memory. Heck even a drawn series should be celebrated.

Nah I think he's just saying he hopes Brathwaite gets added to the Test squad for NZ instead of Simmons. I don't think he's calling for him to go to India.
Exactly!!..which is why i posted it in the NZ vs WI thread afterall!!..
I think Ravi is "fit" rather than fit. As in, he's not injured but he's not really in the sort of condition he'd need to be in to get through a five day game properly. Looked well short of rhythm in this game and, if we're being honest, carrying a few pounds.
insert booming through the crease comment.
Someone has to make way for Vettori?
