Can West Indies Rise Again.

[westindies2007]

I have really seen an Improvement in West Indies Cricket.
It's time West Indies Selector Step up and Pick a perfect team.

We have the Talent.

We Had the Mighty Australia in trouble in the 1st test, and a good decent performance in the last 2 test.

We had Demolished Sri Lanka.

We also had South Africa good, as we won the 1st Test Against South Africa in South Africa, unfortunately our player were injured and we went on to loss the rest.

It's time to rest C Gayle, R Sarwan, D Powell and Ramdin for a while.
give these boy a Min 2 series try.
Perkins who plays outstanding for Trinidad a try.

Flechter who played great in the Stanford T20, good for a ODI game, he can also WicKeep

P Browne Did a great Job against South Africa, he need more ODI and must give him a try at test match.

K Rooches, He may get smack all about in the E11 against Australia, he need a try out. he can Bat also.

My West Indies 15 Man squad.
for the Future.

West Indies Future Team Included some talented Player who's name you may not know, but is very talented. S Chanderpaul would not be on this list. because is a Old already.

1. X Marshall
2. W Perkins
3. S Chattergoon
4. A Fletcher
5.J Carter (you may not know him, but he is the Captain of Bank (Barbados Domestic Cricket) and he plays very good, a great talent who needs to be known
6. D Bravo (Cap)
7. P Browne (Wkt)
8. D Sammy
9.S Benn
10. J Taylor
11.F Edwards
12. K Roach
13. K Pollard
14. C Baugh( my back up Keeper)
15. D.R Smith ( i would give him another Try)

a few things here, Shiv is the best batsman in the world at the moment so there is no way he should be dropped unless the WI are sure that they won a ODI series and in the matches that don't mean anything new players can be tried. Same goes for Sarwan and Gayle. Gayle should be rested for a while so that his groin injury can be rested properly but once healthy he should be back in the squad.
there is no need for Baugh as the backup keeper because Perkins is a WK and he can back up the 1st choice keeper. Ramdin should not be dropped permanently because he is still young and the only thing he needs to work on is his batting because he is a good keeper already. I agree with you that Browne should be given a go in more ODIs or even a test so that the WI can see what he is really capable off.
As for DR Smith...NO WAY SHOULD HE BE GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE. He has played 20+ tests and done nothing to deserve a spot. Marshall is there and so far he is doing fine, Adrian Barath is coming up in Trinidad and if healthy Chattergoon is available.

 

[Howsie]

Yeah I think the West Indies can become a good team again, they have some real talented players coming through. They are sought of like New Zealand, where there best FC players have to learn on the international stage. I think there bowling is what will get them back to world-class with players like

Taylor
Edwards
Roach
Powell(He isn't that good and he is abit old)
Benn

They also have young batsmen coming up to like

X.Marshall
S.Chattergoon
P.Browne
D.Bravo(He is only 24)

And a kid that really impressed me at the under 19 world cup, he has a first class average of 92, Kerion Powell. Looks like a young Chris Gayle.

 

[angryangy]

That team includes maybe only half the team that beat Sri Lanka. It is not about augmenting a good team with good new players, you will have to wait until the best players in the current side are gone for these new ones to fire. Are any going to be as good as Chanderpaul? I would think you would need two players of that quality before you can say the side has improved over what it already is.

Well I didn't say I would Drop Chanderpaul
For me there is no player in WI that is Equal to him right now.
For me Gayle is a good player no doubt.
Sarwan can't depend on him, always getting hurt.

What do you think about A Fletcher and K Roach. dod u think they should be given a try.

Come on Have you ever follow West Indies Cricket.
Most of the Past series.
We are Demolish.
Like team winning by Big margin.
and Now Things have change.
West Indies are now putting up a fight.
We just lost by Australia, but they didn't beat us as Bad, as how we were beaten a few years ago.

We have progress a little.

Yer i think they can rise again but it will take time like anything does, i cant wait till they get some real good fast bowlers again . I love watching the windies play just need 2 more batsmen and a few bowlers .

 

[King Pietersen]

Edwards and Taylor are quality, they just need another quality seamer. Chris Jordan possibly, if he chooses West Indies over England of course. He's out and out quick, and he can bat as well. Could be good for the Windies future if he develops correctly, and chooses them.

 

[manee]

West Indies will not rise to even the top four Test nations in the world or the top two ODI nations in the world for at least 5 years. West Indies only hopes lie in:

• Embracing the expertise of Andy Roberts, Michael Holding and similar veterans of the West Indian golden era rather than shunting them as they have to date; they need to show respect and learn from their golden generation.
• The money of Sir Allen Stanford increasing the interest of cricket in West Indies in combination with a short term rise in form of the West Indies to compliment this.
• The money of Sir Allen Stanford to the regional boards utilised to create academies for West Indian youngsters - off the beaches and into the nets.

None of this is likely to occur in the near-future.

However, this is most certainly possible, as the West Indians have the best build for fast bowlers as their seemingly endless list of express fast bowlers has shown, back from Griffith to Roberts to Holding to Edwards. Fast bowlers are the winners of Test matches and those who help secure ODIs and T20s in the early overs and West Indies need a reemergance of fast bowlers to succeed - but if the aforementioned criteria are met, then I am sure there will be one.

I disagree that Edwards is quality. He is a raw talent who has been raw for too long, imo. Edwards is good, but is prone to awful spells and awful matches far too often in Test cricket and his shabby record speaks for itself. Taylor is quality though!

Westindies are going to rise nodoubt i see xavier marshall as a great prospect
they need a good keeper batsman and a third seamer of what i saw in the t20
raoch should be hiven a chance he showed some composure in the match
and he has good pace.

Also i thought westindies were a bit negative in the test series it looked they were
always wanting to draw,if they wanted to win against this australain team
which is not as good now they could have.the pitches in the first 2 were
made for draws

one thing they are better than newzealand anyday

 

[shubhrayu]

I doubt Players like Viv Richards,CLive LLoyd.Greenidge and Andy Roberts can come back

Yeah, but progress is not permanent. When Chanderpaul retires, he is not immediately replaced by Chanderpaul mk. II. One of this next generation of guys won't just need to be talented, he will need to grow miles as a player. Chanderpaul averages 66 for Guyana, which is surely far beyond any other player in the Caribbean at this point. The selectors of the West Indies themselves would probably consider selecting any player averaging half that.

If you place the hopes of success on players who have yet to play a Test, then you must accept that the team will have to wait for the great players they already have to leave and the cycle must begin again.

 

[Arunava]

well they can, but. . . . .it will be hard. .as now they will have to beat too many good teams compared to few earlier. Also the level of the game has increased a lot by other teams.

 

[karnog]

Well yes they can but at this stage i don't see it happening without Chanderpaul. He is literally the cornerstone of this batting line-up. If the batsmen shoulder an equal amount (close to as i'm not idealistic) of reponsibility then i see it happening. Also, the bowling is a little hot and cold at times. But can the windies rise to the top 4-6. I'm sure of it the way they're going. Top 3, WC/tournament wins, etc. is another ball-game. Fielding is right now the liability.

 

[deerkick]

thought they would but after today's ODI performance, not too sure
