Based on the fact this is the best West Indian team to hit our shores I have decided to name Wristys Windies All-Time XI. Whilst the temptation was just to list the current team this is the best team I have seen in the last 40 years. The only notable inclusion who I didn't see play was Sobers but his stats speak for themselves and give this amazing team a real feel of completion and balance.
1. Gordon Greenidge - simply devastating batter
2. Dezzy Haynes - part of the best opening partnership of my childhood
3. Isaac Vivian Alexander Richards - the master blaster
4. Brian Lara - had a cuttla handy innings in his career
5. Shiv Chanperpaul - weight of numbers and consistency. Great concentration and honesty
6. Clive Lloyd (C) - regarded as their best Captain and brilliant in the covers when young
7. Garry Sobers - handy record
8. Jeff Dujon - could seriously bat and an excellent keeper
9. Malcolm Marshall - broke the record for most consecutive 20+ wicket series
10. Joel Garner - looked unplayable at times and once pissed off the harbour bridge and touched the water
11. Curtly Ambrose - the last of the great devastating Windies quicks
12th man - Roger Harper - early in his career was worlds best fielder
