***Official*** West Indies in Zimbabwe and South Africa

Worrying that Samuels is bowling better than Lewis.

What did you expect?

Wish Sammy was playing.

Worrying that Samuels is bowling better than Lewis.

Predicting Lewis's golden duck to be his biggest contribution to the match. Seriously dire bowler. Jacques Rudolph's leggies are better!







(No, I don't really think Rudolph is a better bowler, but you were thinking of biting when you read that, weren't you Liam? )

With Edwards out I'd replace him with Sammy. If WI win this Test I'd go with:

Smith
Parchment
Morton
Chanderpaul
Bravo
Browne
Sammy
Lewis
Powell
Collins

Expected it but hoped it wouldn't be so. He's still got time in the match to prove himself though. Should have picked someone younger to tour like Mohammed or that other Trini spinner..........Name escapes me. Anyway hopefully Omari Banks will perform well at Somerset.

Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo...

 

[roseboy64]

Gun spell by Bravo here.

 

[Stapel]

He's really having his day there! Nice to see him perform with the ball reaqlly well, after his 4 ball duck.

 

[roseboy64]

23 over spell from Bravo.

Can't believe Sammy isn't playing.

Bar Lewis, this looks to be quite an admirable, athletic team. The bowling by Bravo and Taylor has been absolutely world-class. All the West Indians just seem so fit. Enjoying this match thoroughly and the commentary has been superb aswell.

Yes. Samuels very unlucky..

 

[silentstriker]

Excellent match here. One more wicket and they are into the tail.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

TBH you're right about his batting. Must have been thinking of something else. Anyway, read that he's on the same level of keeping with Browne and Ramdin so not much there. Not saying he'll do well but he should still be ahead of Browne in terms of replacing Ramdin.

Say what? Ramdin is leagues better than Baugh with the gloves. Ramdin looks far more natural than Baugh. Baugh looks like a batsman who took up wicketkeeping. You've got to be kidding me if you put Baugh on the same plane as Ramdin with the gloves.

 

[Nate]

Yes. Samuels very unlucky..

...and Taylor isn't?

Haha, is the selection of Lewis political?

 

[silentstriker]

Bravo is superhuman.

That's insane. You never play a second string team in Test cricket. These aren't one-day internationals. West Indies can't afford to concede Tests purely because the series is won. West Indies need to win everything they can.

This would be the worst selection move by West Indies in ages.

 

[NUFAN]

...and Taylor isn't?

Haha, is the selection of Lewis political?

Yeah Taylor is too. Thought his ridiculous team needed an extra batsmen rather then another bowler.

Taylor, Samuels, Bravo are all players who could be excellent for the Windies into the next decade.

 

[Nate]

Doran > Lewis.

 

[Matt79]

Jeez Bravo is soft. 24 overs, and all of a sudden he needs a "rest"...

Lol at Cricinfo:
"The lesser spotted Shaun Pollock has just jogged on as 12th man. 400 Test wickets to his name and he's carrying gloves, isotonic drinks and other rubbish. Hey ho"
