Barbados squad: Shamarh Brooks (Captain), Sulieman Benn, Tino Best, Rashidi Boucher, Carlos Brathwaite, Jonathan Carter, Shane Dowrich, Justin Greaves, Kyle Hope, Omar Phillips, Javon Searles, Dwayne Smith, Jomel Warrican.
Bim will have a depleted squad, because several of their players have been called up for Test duties, while Jamaica will have a strong squad, since the WI selectors will be ignoring the strong performers in their team. It is ironic that the team that has beaten every other team in the competition - without using Gayle or Samuels - has less members of the Test squad than Barbados.
That's not too surprising, when you consider that Gibson is giving favourites places in the side even though they're not performing....

The reason why Jam players don't get picked is because THEY AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH MIKE!! 
Perchant? RUBBISH
Pagon? ALREADY FAILED AT TEST LEVEL AND IS CRAP
Lambert? TOO FAT
Brown? WE'VE GOT BISHOO PLUS BROWN CAN'T PUT DOWN THE PATTYS
Miller? PROVEN FAILURE AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL
Bernerd? AVERAGE AND SAMMY IS ALREADY IN THE TEAM
Marshall? WASTED TALENT AND HE SMOKES TOO MUCH WEED
Richardson? NOT GOOD ENOUGH
The only one who may go on to be a force is Cotterrell, the rest are just regional bullies!!!
, as for the Bim team, well by the looks of it it will be..
Boucher
Phillips
Smith
Hope
Carter
Brooks (c)
Dowrich (wk)
Brathwaite
Benn
Best
Searles
Not the worst team i've seen to be honest, Carter is in good form, Smith adds experience in the top order aswell, Brathwaite got TWO not outs with the bat in his last game, so imo they are capable of putting up a good score, whether that attack can bring it home is another question, Brathwaite and Best will be dangerous but Searles remains a mystery, before these last few games he only had two four day wickets to his name, so it will be interesting to see how he does against tough opposition, whilst Brooks will provide legspin to help out Benn.

It's better to be regional bullies than players who can't even bully bowlers at the regional level, like certain players in the current Windies side....
With the WICB continuing to ignore Jamaican players, an interesting situation is developing where a full-strength Jamaica side is beginning to look stronger than the current Windies side, especially when you assess current form of said players in the domestic four-day competition.

plus this is a second string Jamaica team without the services of Gayle, Russell, Nash, Samuels and Taylor..mikesiva wrote:It's better to be regional bullies than players who can't even bully bowlers at the regional level, like certain players in the current Windies side....

I wouldn't say the Jamaican team is better than the current WI team because they are all proven to be domestic bullies if given a chance to play for the actual WI team will fail on a MASSIVE level. Look at Deonarine, the leading run scorer in the 4 day competition by a mile and fails miserably at the international level against Aus where nearly every WI batsman in the first innings was making over 50 runs.
