    Think 108-2 at Lunch can be seen in seen nothing less than positive.

    Hopefully they can now go on and put some decent runs on the board.

    Cook and Root are class acts so these two are massive.

    Especially against a 3rd rate bowling attack

    Really? Think they have some decent players. Who would you pick that plays regular first class cricket apart from Gabriel to come in?

    I think id rather have a 50+ Michael Holding steaming in

    Sad to think how great West Indies used to be and how the team is now desolated because of a poorly run governing body and the lucrative contrcats of global t20.

    Past his prime now, but Ravi Rampaul (way overweight!) had a few games with Surrey. Good control, but lost his pace now. Kemar Roach has certainly lost his pace he used to be a real handful

    He's criticed the players, then when i've questioned who he would pick that plays regular first class cricket (got to be in WI) he mentions two people that wouldn't last 2 minutes.

    So you think this West Indies attack is a first rate world beating bowling unit?

    Former West Indies fast bowler Andy Roberts has questioned the fitness of the current pace attack on the eve of the first Test against England at Edgbaston.

    Seems I'm not the only one to critice (sic) this bowling attack

    I think the bowling attacks okay. Think having watched a few of the recent games when they played I think Pakistan at home they will compete fine. If I was a West Indies fan I would look at the batting but highlight before this match they have 2/3 that look good.

    You've still not answered who they should pick? Come on let's hear the answer from you that fit within the WI playing structure. d

    Here you go sunshine

    Taylor, Gabriel, Bishoo, Narine, Rampaul (despite not being the fittest)

    Allrounders like Pollard and Bravo

    Just a few I can think of

    I think you should read what I put or learn the basics of selection for the WI team?

    Its a very poor bowling unit and a poor batting unit (though some new names which will be interesting to see if they can adapt to swing).

    Such a huge fall from the frighteningly good west indies teams of old that dominated the world

    Why should I read what you put when its framed in a way that defies reason and only sets out to back up a preformed opinion you wish to push? I've read it. That WI selectors choose to let their talent go rogue is down to them.

    They've much better players they could choose to play if they wished it. But they don't.

    Just like you choose to ignore all reason and logic to back up your narrow minded forcefed by others, opinion.

    But that's your choice. You're welcome to it.

    You live in fantasy land. Clearly not got a clue of any selction policy that the WI board use to even suggest some of those names.
