Well done to all selected. Should be good to see the youngsters in action. Special well done to Black team mates Pickup, Butler and ofcourse the newly recruited Hoy. Well done again.

Test cricket's greatest?
Berry True relives what will go down as one of the greatest Test matches of all time.
Cricket Web XI vs West Indies - 1st Test
Cricket, glorious cricket. It began as a clash of two of the lowest ranked teams in Test cricket, but by the time Neil Pickup completed the final over of the match, it was booked as a true classic.
Some call it the "best Test match ever", and this was certainly very special at the very least. A battle throughout, the first Test at the Queen's Park Oval had it all - runs, wickets, tempers, and a dramatic nailbiting finish.
Twice did Neil Pickup bowl the Cricket Web XI back into a game that seemed on course for a sporting draw. However, his most significant achievement did not come whilst bowling, but rather in the field. With two balls to go before lunch, Pickup executed an unbelievable run out Brian Lara, as he ran through for what seemed a simple single. The Webhead vice-captain pounced on the ball from midon and in one smooth flip, struck the stumps whilst diving forward.
Lara was made to return to the pavilion and tea was taken. Two balls after the interval, Pickup fired up the dream once again. Shivnarine Chanderpaul had batted superbly for 37, but received a delivery that turned sharply out of the rough and he was taken at bat-pad on the legside. Another Pickup over, and Dwayne Bravo met the same fate. Within the space of 4 overs the game went from the steady complexion of Lara and Chanderpaul batting comfortably toward a draw, to the unsettled stance that is 197/6.
The best was still yet to come.
For the second time in the match the game seemed to be slipping out of the hands of the tourists. At the start of the last hour, Kyle Wright produced a near unplayable delivery with some help from the pitch, and Denesh Ramdin was bowled for a gutsy 32. The dismissal brought Rawl Lewis to the crease and with more than 12 overs still left in the game, there was not a calm figure at the ground.
A collective "ooooh" departed from the lips of all present, as Chris Butler failed to hold on to a simple chance at second slip, and Lewis survived his second delivery at the expense of Wright. He went on to make the chance count, and slammed Hoy over the midwicket ropes for six. Batting sensibly, Ian Bradshaw and Lewis arrived at the closing rounds of the scrap with the finish line in sight and both teams still hungry for the tape.
It all came down to the final over. Ian Bradshaw took strike to Neil Pickup, who was ready for one final gasp...
