Dare: You know as well as I do that WI rewards failure, so with Ramdin in mind even if he fails "again" he has nothing to fair, I mean how much more can be done when the guy is made VC for the ODI and Twenty20? Both his domestic and international 20/20 records are just as poor as his test and ODI records. Yes I would have love to at least have Fletcher on this tour which would remind him that he Ramdin is not alone, instead we got Baugh, and being from JA, you know he is one of the boys.
Our batting as always relies on Chanderpaul, follow by Sars, Gayle on his day will make tears come form the opposition's eye, but just the same he can be gone in a sniff, his opening partner Chatter.... like some Guyanese lacks strength, thus he is laid back and never seems to go from first gear, and I suspect not even if his life depended on it he would bat with some attitude, so he is one that depends on placement and don't have the power, if the fielding is good it builds pressure on him and he cracks, however I will be fair to the lad since he has only played 2 test matches and I honestly rather we fail with him than a season player like Devon Smith.
Moving on, the middle order will surely miss Bravo, any team would, but I believe that the X man could come good, he showed he has the potential against Australia, his 4 innings got him a total of 182 runs, with 2 half centuries, so he can bat.
Nash I am putting some faith in, he played some first class cricket in Australia, in fact that's where he started playing cricket, so I do hope he can bring something to the middle, with both bat and ball.
Benn honestly would not be my first choice, but that's what we have so what can I say, but at 6-8 a spin bowler?? Just damn lazy if you ask me, we know that our quicks can fire, and Fidel, Taylor and company will have some fun, I still believe it was a mistake not to take Edwards along on that 3 ODI series, it would have given him some much needed practice.
I still believe that they should have gone up with D. Ganga, he has toured NZ before, he has the experience, and have led Trinidad to every regional title for the last couple of seasons. That is another story.
I believe that your 11 is the obvious choice, and of course Powell will play in that 11.
