The squad I would take for the Test team (16 men):
CH Gayle, Devon Smith, WW Hinds (not sure on fitness), *BC Lara, RR Sarwan, S Chanderpaul, RL Powell/Dwayne Smith, RO Hinds, +RD Jacobs, +CS Baugh, D Mohammed, FH Edwards, M Dillon, PT Collins, C Collymore, TL Best.
Gayle, Devon Smith, Lara, Sarwan, Chanderpaul, Jacobs and I guess Edwards, barring injury are the only certainties to go.
I'm not sure on the fitness of Wavell Hinds, but if he is fit I would have him there, more so because of his versititality, if not I would probably have Dawyne Bravo in there. Devon Smith's Carib Beer Cup form has to make him a definate to go.
No offence Liam but Ganga shouldnt be allowed anywhere near the team. Cant toss up between Dwayne Smith and Ricardo Powell, although I would prefer to have Powell instead.
Cartlon Baugh fits the bill ideally as back-up to Jacobs and has a batting average of of (in FC cricket) and is a tidy enouh 'keeper. I have heard names like Wayne Phillip and Keith Hibbert as future WI 'keepers, but dont know what has happened with them.
Tino Best was the leading wicket taker (AFAIK) in the 2004 Carib Beer Cup, and apparently Collymore did ok without much luck, not sure on Pedro, just running out of names. Not sure on the fitness of Omari Banks, but have Dave Mohammed as my spinner. Banks is a better batsman IMO, but Mohammed is probably a better spinner.
Chanderpaul will go despite being dropped for the last Test.
My ODI team later.
