Gayle I think is shot at the moment. Although looks good for a short period of time just looks un fit with back issues. Was starting to look a bit stiff last night.

Dwayne Bravo can still bat but his bowling looked a bit pedestrian at times.

The ok one who may have made an impact is Russell. Now I know hes a slogger as such but can hold a bat for sure but there is a bit about his bowling. I must admit I haven't seen enough of him but seems like a type that could bowl some fiery spells.

Just a thought I guess.


Your pretty spot on.

Gayle hates test cricket so his no real loss.

Bravo was available in 2015 but wasnt selected for the test side.

The two loses though are Russell who could be a genuine test star and Sammy who while not being the greatest is experienced and would be a steady number 8 bat and fourth bowler.

Both Sammy and Russell got screwed over the the WI board so told them they were no longer making themselves available for selection. Not so much giving up on Test cricket and chasing the cash

Why because the West Indies Cricket Board wanted to cut the players contracts by 75% when they would now be playing for the West Indies 62% less because the West Indies Board has been forced to schedule less games due to the participation of their players in all the t20 competitions around the world.
