I like shillingford. he seems very good indeed. I noted hm taking odles and odles of dung heap wickets and wondered why!

I like Benn too. they both have geat stamina and some ability at least. they are the best bowlers we have at the moment...as clear as day.

in the pace Roach of course but I am salivating over this Russell kid on the A team he is 22! were he hell was he all the time.

it looks to me that Taylor, Edwards and Rampaul are gone through. were I Gibson I would give Taylor and Rampaul both nice very longgggggggg time to rest-up! fit and durable young men with ability are those I would focus on. I woud rather play Sammy and David Benard before I went back to taylor and Rampaul

by the same measurement I am had been looking at Kevin Kantarsing as well...another huge dung heap wicket-taker.

he too is a bit older, more experienced and that would help. why has been takin so many wckets? we shoul investigate

another slighly older player I am very keen on is Iman Khan. khan can bat and bowl very well indeed!

in a bad side averages like Benns' is excellent! shilly is early yet but he has bowled real well n bad side in 3 tests

its like Bravo. this is a terrible side and Bravo has 80+ wickets and +2000 runs 10 35 tests or so.

these are all players would show far greater success if the team was a better one. these are players who need that kind of help

if this was a better team, do you think they would make it with those stats ? :)

oh yess!

remember that Benn have 15 tests and shilly 3 now. thats nutten!

yet in these last 3 tests they were 90% of westindies attack...our real attack...period! with all of 15 tests between them at the first test.

i was only by the end Roach was back to a threat...too late! itr was all shilly and Benn!

If all WI players were fit, no way both would be playing... but yes they hold their own in this series.
