With bravo captain westindies have all the games in there bag. how sarwan is not in the first 12.
Channel 1; I agree with your take on the performance of the players from the windward and leeward islands…very concerned as an explayer…..
I have much more confidence in the West Indies A team under the captaincy of Dwayne Bravo than the team that is currently in Bangladesh under the capataincy of Sammy. In other words, we have better [players that were left out from the windies senior team than those selected. What a shame on Windies Board!
We need to start having two to three professional cricket teams in each cricketing country today to compete against every Test Team in every country just as sports is being played here in America – more teams, more cricket professionals, more series, more spectators, more money, better stadiums.
I am very disappointed that Sebastian was not selected. Look out guys, we are heading back to the days when Barbados, T&T, Guyana and Jamaica MUST be represented.
What happen to cricket in the Leeward Islands?
Windward and Leeward Island cricketers are mostly to blame for their non-selections on various West Indies cricket teams. Just take a look at how these two teams perform poorly in regional tournaments with the ‘now & then’ sparks of good play.
