Afro et al, help me out here...
Why are we going back to an unfit Baugh? Actually, Baugh could be considered a senior now.
Lets try another youngster or two for a few matches... After all, aren't we trying to expose as many youngsters possible?
Where is the logic or consistency?

I very much doubt they would call him up if he wasn't fit!!.. and quite frankly i'd prefer an 80% fit Baugh to a 100% fit Ramdin or Thomas!!BallOil wrote:Afro et al, help me out here...

, As for the youngsters, well yes they could have given them a chance but i guess they thinks it's too early, out of Dorwich, Hamilton and Corbin only Dorwich has A-team experience, it won't be long before one of these are playing for WI though.

On another note the more i look at the potential one day team the more hopefull i become!! 
Simmons
Smith
Darren
Samuels
Edwards
Bravo
Baugh
Sammy
Russell
Roach
Bishoo
The only thing that i'd change from this team is maybe Athanaze or Permaul for Sammy!!..that way we'd have two spin options in the team
, but looking at that top order it looks decent enough to put up a fight, and hopefully Barath can replace Smith in the last few ODI's, i also wonder whether they will play Martin AND Bishoo together? is playing two leggys feasible? i guess we'll see.

funny if Baugh was fit why they didn't pick him in the first place ? Do you know if Baugh went through the fitness test yet? if so, where we can see the report?AFRO wrote:I very much doubt they would call him up if he wasn't fit!!.. and quite frankly i'd prefer an 80% fit Baugh to a 100% fit Ramdin or Thomas!!BallOil wrote:Afro et al, help me out here...

Actually, I'm disappointed they didn't bring in a youngster... How are WI planning so? 2015 is just couple mornings from now...
Giving this backwards thinking, WICB exposing their agenda. You would think they know how to cover their behing..
