NOT a bad Squad. unfortunately Gayle wouldnt be in it. So Charles would take his Place.
Also beside charles NE Bonner looks good also. not to mention The keeper for Barbados young Dowrich, he is improving match by match, unfortunately he was with a Very poor batting Team in T20, but he does look good, need to train him for the the future. the future keeper could be dowirch, just Barbados need to train this bot alot more, because in the T20 he had shock me, after his poor performance when de made a Debut.
Sameuls, i really think he is also inconsistent my view, when the right time for him to play well he give it away, just like the finals, dropping a simple catch which Pollard then Demolished Jam, so for me i would give bonner a try, he was the 2nd Highest scorer of the tournament and save Jam alot of time.
For this Whole tournament, stats may say alot, but i think alot of other player are very hungry for cricket to play for West Indies. Gayle and Taylor is done at this moment, so it's basically Gayle and co is done, so lets look at reality on de Squad.
so right now i am building for the Future of West Indies Cricket, because it's over, and shackng the Whole WICB wouldnt make a different, because when C Loyd was Leading de board it was the saem thing then and now it's the same thing and i think in de future it will be the same thing, Player - Baord drama will cont. just like Pakistan Board, unfortunately.
in my option after watching all the T20 Matches of the tournament.
according to what i think.
Sammy will continue as the Captain. no chice atm because of the selectors
We cant denied that Sammy weak team, did well in the tournament, was the only team to beat TnT, and then beating Barbados in the 3rd place runners up, losing only one match in the tournament.
Opening Pair.
1. L Simmons and
2. J Charles
3. Darren Bravo will come in third.
4. Bonner
5. Dywane Bravo
6. K Pollard ( would move him up according to what we need, if we low on runs)
7. D Ramdin ( would go for him right now, but got my eyes on Dowrich, but he still need some training)
8. D Sammy
9. NArine
10. F Edwards
11. R Rampal.
other players.
Santokie, Russel, S Shillingford, D Bishoo, CR Brathwaite, S Benn and Bonner
People I am HOPING that West Indies Selector Don't go back with don't mine if some of them impress in this Competition.
T Best, Ryan Hinds, Devon Smith, Kevin Stoute ( he may never made it in International and i hope it stay that way).
I wouldnt Pick K Roach for T20, he is crappy at it.
But Dwayne smith I may not Drop him completely since he went to play for Sussex he have improve. when he return to West Indies against Australia he perform, but WICB drop him when he perform and pick him when he is failing strange, people blame him and sai it was his was at fault when Zimbabwe beat West Indies, but if you do check it everyone failed to bat, and the position he came in was way down the order, where when he same in West indies had to go nearly 8+ runs an over, with bowlers only to come.
In Australia for the 50Over match. he along with Pollard (170) was West Indies's Top scores in the 2009/2010 series. 130 Run at an avg of 43.
he also was amosut the most (7wkt) wicket taker for west indies along with rampal (9) and Pollard (9).
as for the T20 for that series, everyone failed, Smith (12) , Gayle (17) , Pollard (17) , Simmon (5 in 1 match), etc. only ramdin pass 50 total run in 2 matchs.
so after he perform well for West indies in Australia they drop him again for South Africa, and the the T20 world cup didnt get pick, then after that, West Indies team change.
this year Caribbean T20 Smith was 3rd highest run scorer 165 @ an average of 33. at a S/R of 136.36. His whole team was on his shoulder, when he perform the team, perform, when we failed the team fails. unfortunately he didn't bowl.
West Indies want to Pick the Best player to Rep us no doubt and it' time enough we want to get in last least the Semi Finals of a Competition.
by the way it's time we Move away from Gayle and co. we looking for the Future of Cricket.
I know want our Seniors back in the team, but we cant even reach the Semi Finals in an competition well at least one by luck. We picking a T20 Squad lets look at our Past T20 World Cup.
1st T20 World Cup. this time we can under stand why we lose because he was new to the Game.

It's strange in de past we did had our TOP boy C Gayle, Sarwan, J Taylor, Pollard, Bravo, D ramdin.
With these player we should have won those cup.
This year i think we will have a good team, underfortunely we going to miss Gayle. If Gayle would of play with this new team, with new player like what WAR posted i think we would win it.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING NEEDED IN THE WEST INDIES TEAM, is Unity inside the team, they is a lack of unity inside the team, which this young team change. which makes them perform as a team and not a one man army.
