West Indies Still have a LONG way to go to be known as a Great Team.
To be honest, We need a Person who have the Pride of West Indies Cricket like Sammy and the talent of Gayle. IF we find that person we will have a Strong Leader with is Talented.
Sammy can captain the side good, but his performance isnt something to shout about.
While as Gayle. we cant have a Captain who tomorrow, would refused to perform for West Indies, if he have problem is cricket board.
If you watch Fire in Babylon you would see Loyd and his Team had problems with WICB, yet they perform and became one of the greatest side.
Gayle maybe Popular amount everyone out there, but Gayle is not the right man for this Job.
I think West Indies Should forget all about those players and look to move on.
Keep Chanderpaul and F Edwards and bring back J Taylor.
I wouldnt Choose Dyanwe Bravo nor K Pollard, not loyal members of West Indies Cricket they want to be a Free from the contact, so remove them.
Build the team around A Barath, L Simmons, young Bravo, K Edwards, M Samuels, C Baugh, D Sammy, K Roach, R Rampal, A Russel, Bishoo with Chanderpaul, F Edwards and J Taylor there in the Team.
Test Sqaud
1. A Barath, 2. K Edwards, 3. D Bravo, 4. S Chanderpaul, 5.M Samuels, 6. C Baugh, 7. A Russel, 8. D Sammy, 9. K Roach, 10. F Edwards 11. J Taylor.

T20 ( i would bring in the bigger hitter for this format)
1. C Gayle, 2. A Flecther(wkt), 3. D Bravo, 4. K Pollards, 5. C Barwell, 6. M Samuels, 7. A Russel, 8. D Sammy, 9. F Edwards, 10. J Taylor 11.Ravi Rampal
Plus this Generation there is NO team who is dominating the number 1 Position.
BUT Teams like India, England, South Africa, Sri Lanka are amoust the best out there, but yet to Dominate World Cricket like West Indies (ending of the 70's, 80's, early 90's ( 15 years of Domination)) and Australia (late 90's and 00'( 10 years of Domination- correct me if i am wrong))
