The West Indies Cricket Team; Players that should be in

No doubt we've all seen the humping the West Indies bowling has just received from Voges and Sean Marsh. Well it's about to get worse now that Shannon Gabriel has had to fly home injured. Is this really the best the West Indies can muster?

I'm seriously questioning what Chandrika brings to the side. Watched him against the Aussies a year ago on his debut, where he bagged a pair, and to be honest he looked awful, massive flaws in his teckers. Sorry but his stats are awful to say the least. Shai Hope is the same, although, I'll be honest, I think he's got miles more potential than Chandrika; he's only 22 and he looked quit compact against the Sri Lankans.

However are there no better players in the FC system? Kieran Powell was, in my opinion, a classy left hand bat. Barath has always had potential, especially after scoring that fine ton on debut. There's players in this current squad who just are simply not good enough.

The thing is, though, they have a nucleus of good batters here. Kraig Brathwaite is far from the finished article, but with centuries against England and South Africa, coupled with a double hundred against New Zealand, he's going to be a major asset going forward.

Darren Bravo I think is just all class; seriously talented, just needs to go on to make those big scores more often.

Jermaine Blackwood has the attitude and the swagger that is missing, and he can back it up too. That ton against England showed he's got balls, and some of his shots were brilliant.

Jason Holder, though, is the one for me. He bowls well, not overly quick but very consistent and has the potential to be one of the worlds leading all rounders in years to come. His hundred against the English was something to see!

So there's players here to work with, but simultaneously, there are others who shouldn't be in there.

Kemar Roach is a shadow of the bowler he once was, with his pace never getting above 85Mph anymore, opposed to 95mph the last time he toured Australia.

There are two young quicks in the FC circuit who I would like to see; Miguel Cummins and Ransford Beaton. Both 90 Mph, both young, both fit; get them in, as Eugene would say. I saw Cummins bowl in a FC match in 2014 when I went to the Caribbean with my then girl friend and he looked nasty.

In my opinion, the only thing holding back the West Indies is the selection. Get the right players in, and more importantly the most talented, the rest will follow with time
