Bishoo, Barath and Rampaul...followed by DM Bravo and Russell

Roach has regressed, we have seen Simmons max at 26 years old, and it is not quite good enough. sknash is mediocre, samuels at 29 is also mediocre.

Sammy is a half decent captain tactically, a bowler who has proved he can take wickets on helpful wickets, but an incapable batsman.

Shive and Sars appear to be spent forces on whom the book canot quite be closed as yet. we must give them more time and the end of this series seems approapriate time at which to decide on their future...not now!

Dwayne Bravo remains an enigma, a player full of ability but not really doing it with bat or ball for the westindies

Baugh as keeper appears to be enjoyng his best time ever with the gloves. he is hitting in the twenties often now as atsalthough that is hardly good enuff for a keeper these .

Ramdin with the potential to score big as a batsman in tests, including tons, is a much better prospect than Baugh, and I await his maturation with a sense of much better to come.

for imporvement of this bunch of players..team..we must go back to Gayle as we have already done back to Edwards...ultimatley to Benn I hope.

and westindies must find a captain from among those who are actually capable and add to team balance...not take away from it.

Yep! Those are the young stars.

Agree!

Sammy has taken 14 wickets in his last 3 tests---he is a bowler---not an allrounder----by the way, his test batting average is 16.52---not bad for a bowler.
Shive and Sars appear to be spent forces on whom the book canot quite be closed as yet. we must give them more time and the end of this series seems approapriate time at which to decide on their future...not now!
Sars deserve to be dropped. Shiv's best days are waaaaay behind him----his 23 and 30 in the Jamaica test was disappointing-----but he is still the best batsman in the Caribbean.

Dwayne Bravo remains an enigma, a player full of ability but not really doing it with bat or ball for the westindies
Dwayne Bravo is no enigma---he is a FAILURE. After 40 tests he averages a poor 31.43 with the bat and 39.84 with the ball.

Baugh as keeper appears to be enjoyng his best time ever with the gloves. he is hitting in the twenties often now as atsalthough that is hardly good enuff for a keeper these .
Baugh is just as mediocre as Ramdin with the bat.

for imporvement of this bunch of players..team..we must go back to Gayle as we have already done back to Edwards...ultimatley to Benn I hope.
Gayle will be back---bet the house on that.
and westindies must find a captain from among those who are actually capable and add to team balance...not take away from it.
As long as Sammy keeps taking wickets---he has taken 14 wickets in his last 3 tests---only Bishoo(16 wkts) and Rampaul(15 wkts) have done better----but as long as Sammy keeps taking wickets----he stays as captain.

Gayle will only be back because WICB realizes that they have no firm ground to keep Gayle out.
