Yeah i guess it is, would have liked to see Larry Edward involved though but with Derone Davis already established in the side i can understand why they went with him instead, even when we beat Australia the number three batting spot wasn't too strong, Akeem Saunders done ok but wasn't dominating like he should have, so now they've brought in Emannual Lett and Hosein who are both very good batters and will make our top order even stronger, which is frightening really because it was already top class :D ,

All in all my prediction remains the same, i don't expect us to lose a single game, obviously anything can happen but i'd be very surprised if we don't go and put licks pon all the other teams out there, this is probably the best u19 team we've EVER HAD, that's how highly i rate them.

Brathwaite (c) (off-break spin)
Campbell (off-break spin)
Lett/Hosein (both spinners too)
Alleyne (off=break)
Hodge (left arm spin/batsman)
Mayers (right arm medium/batsman)
Greaves (right-arm fast/batsman)
Davis (left arm spinner/batter)
Katrawoo (wk/batsman)
Khan (leggy)
Beaton (right arm fast)

Will most likely be the team for the first game, although if the conditions are spin friendly then Nelson will probably step in for Beaton, Sunil Ambris is also a top batter who can keep wicket, so if we really want to turn the screw and make our batting line-up even more daunting for the opposition we could play him instead of Katrawoo :lol: , honestly this team is so strong it mek me laugh to rhatid!!.
