That's a pretty good crowd.

 

[FBU]

We are on par with the Associates...build everyone up from there.

Who will be the six fast bowlers in the West Indies squad for the Tests against England.

Roach, S Joseph, A Joseph, Seales? Holder? Mayers?

It's doubtful that we will see Mayers in our test outfit again.

How will our test team look for the tour of England?

1. Kraigg (c)
2. Tage or Mikyle Louis
3. Kirk or Imlach
4. Athanaze
5. Hodge
6. Da Silva +
7. Holder
8. Motie
9. Roach
10. Shamar
11. Seales

I can’t remember the name of the other Bajan opener right now, but he gets a go as well.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

His name is Zachary McCaskie, the opener for Barbados

I don’t know if they will go for a wildcard…in Johann Layne

21 years ago:

I recall the chase as if it were yesterday, particularly the 4th and 5th days—a younger me in high school, surrounded by other cricket-enthusiastic students. The optimism was indescribable as two of my country's greatest players at the time hit centuries in pursuit of 418.

But there was an ugly incident that got sandwiched in between-- McGrath v Sarwan



McGrath- “What does Brian Lara’s c*ck taste like?” Sarwan - “I don’t know. Ask your wife.” McGrath - “If you f**king mention my wife again, I’ll f**king rip your f**king throat out.”

Years later, McGrath reflected, "The memory of the incident wouldn't fade. The disparity in our sizes was stark. I reached out to Sarwan, who was very understanding. He wasn't aware that Jane was ill and he apologized, but I insisted that I was the one who should apologize."

No punishment was meted out for this incident. Both parties were exonerated by the match referee, Mike Procter.


Test cricket elicits deep-seated emotions and brings out the best in us as well. That's the beauty of this game.

Seales and Roach are lighting up the county scene right now, meanwhile our other two pacers are in India warming the benches…maybe that’s a good thing— to not feel demotivated by the disparity (licks) that bat is doing to ball right now.

Alternative side if they don't want to play a spinner (which let's face it they are fond of doing)....

Kraigg
Tage/Louis
McKenzie
Athanaze
Hodge
Imlach/King/Wickham
Da Silva (WK)
Holder
Roach
Shamar
Seales

They could also consider Alzarri for the 6th batter and move everyone one up.

Either we go long batting order or long tail. No in between.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they pick Thanos in front of Motie.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

News outta the training camp for the T20 WC is that Evin Lewis is there with them. He might be a wildcard pick. I know that we’ve already announced our squad…but one can hope…

I forgot about SInclair. He can bat six IMHO.

True, he has morphed from a bowling all-rounder to a batting all-rounder. Also bowls marathon spells.
