***Official*** West Indies in Australia 2015/16

[weldone]

Is that Rubel's official age?

More like 28 I'd say

Bangladesh is not Pakistan

 

[Tangles]

If it was his real age would be 34.

I can't believe they're losing by an innings here. Must be so harsh for long time WI supporters to go from Viv and co to this

Yeah a bunch of the oppo are on FC debut and they've all made runs and taken wickets. It's not like someone's pulled out an exceptional performance against them.

 

[Midwinter]

Remember that time when NZ lost all their games against the State teams.

 

[morgieb]

Bangladesh is not Pakistan

I dunno all the Muslim countries have a reputation for questionable birth certificates.

 

[hendrix]

i think you mean "developing countries"

Well for long time supporters like me, we are just waiting in vain for some glimpse of a turn around. I thought we had some hope after drawing the wisden series but performances since, have been woeful. It's like they have no pride. I'm way past the point of being embarrassed, I just hope Australia doesn't prolong the butt whooping. Get it over in 9 days and lets move on

 

[viriya]

WI in its current state really shouldn't be playing 3 Tests in Australia..

 

[Gnske]

On the plus side, at least this summer will really go out with a bang when we have yet another ODI series with India involved.

 

[jimmy101]

I still have faith in the Windies yet, remember '99.

 

[ImpatientLime]

I still have faith in the Windies yet, remember '99.

yep, i also remember brian lara.

 

[Daemon]

Dropping Chanders is doing wonders for them

 

[Furball]

Windies should just go back to their ATG 1980s players, they couldn't be doing much worse.

 

[Compton]

How many full days play do we reckon across the 3 matches?

 

[brockley]

Whats more interesting 2 me is how many turn up,its tipped 10,000 will come to the first 4 days with a 1/3 discount,Canberra in the hunt for Tassie's test spot.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I still have faith in the Windies yet, remember '99.

I also remember 2000/01

And they had Lara and Chanderpaul that series

 

[Ferraz]

Windies should just go back to their ATG 1980s players, they couldn't be doing much worse.

Think Ambi and Walsh might have suggested otherwise a few weeks ago in the Warne-Tendulkar thingie?

 

[cnerd123]

A playing XI of players eligible for Tests but not in the current Test squad for various reasons:

Chris Gayle
Keiran Powell
Krik Edwards
Lendl Simmons
Shivnarine Chanderpaul
Andre Russel
Dwayne Bravo
Darren Sammy (*)
Carlton Baugh (+)
Ravi Rampaul
Suliemann Benn

12th Man: Keiran Pollard

Bit all-rounder heavy, but I reckon it could give the current XI a run for its money.

Suliemann Benn in June this year was named WI Player of the Year. Interesting.

 

[Gnske]

Throw in Sarwan instead of Simmons and that's even more a damning list

To think in an alternate universe this side is touring Australia right now.

Gayle
Brathwaite
Bravo
Sarwan
Chanderpaul
Blackwood/Russell/Bravo
Ramdin
Holder
Taylor
Roach
Bishoo/Narine
