the warm up team

LMP Simmons, CH Gayle, DM Bravo, DR Smith, KA Pollard, DJ Bravo, D Ramdin†, AD Russell, DJG Sammy*, R Rampaul, SP Narine

[Skeng DX]

no Edwards or Tino

[Islandman]

Didn't need them. Thats is how an int'l side must deal with a club side.

ICC really needs to revamp the international cricket schedule to make it similar to other professional sports. IPL and similar leagues are not going away, nor should ithey.

[Skeng DX]

what u think about the 11?

[Me]

Good. Is one day cricket. Russell bowls well enough as does Rampaul to take a wicket and they can bat (although Tino may now claim he is better). Sammy restricts runs when he bowls and Narine usually cleans up the tail or when batsmen try to increase the scoring rate. Bravo, Gayle and SMith available. nice balance to the team.

[Skeng DX]

should we play this team?

[Islandman]

Looks like a decent limited overs team. Actually better than decent on paper but we know how it go.

[Me]

Yep.

[Peter R]

The question (to hilarious) is whether this is a team of stars or a star team?

[Skeng DX]

what about Samuels?

[Me]

Test cricket happy for him. If them want, them can drop Simmonds and open with mad man Smith.
