With Fidel Edwards recovering from a lower back injury and unavailable for selection, the selectors called up allrounder David Bernard in his place. A left-hand batsman, Darren Bravo scored 605 runs at 43.21 for Trinidad & Tobago in the domestic four-day competition. He was part of the West Indies Under-19 team that played in the 2008 World Cup. Narsingh Deonarine, another left-handed batsman, has also been included. He was the leading run-scorer in the four-day competition with 1,068 runs at 59.33 with seven half-centuries. Deonarine last played an ODI in 2007. Bernard, 27, last played an ODI in 2003 but was part of the ICC World Twenty20 squad. Other notable exclusions from West Indies' last ODI assignment, against England in May, are Lendl Simmons, Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy and Dale Richards. The first two ODIs are on June 26 and 28 in Kingston. West Indies: Chris Gayle (capt), Denesh Ramdin (wk), Lionel Baker, Darren Bravo, Dwayne Bravo, Sulieman Benn, David Bernard, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Narsingh Deonarine, Runako Morton, Ravi Rampaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Jerome Taylor.

More... Edwards to miss first two India ODIs 21 Jun 2009, 1610 hrs IST, AFP ST. JOHN'S (Antigua): West Indies have named a 13-man squad without Fidel Edwards for the first two One-Day Internationals against India this coming Friday and Sunday at Sabina Park in Kingston. The fast bowler withdrew from last Monday's Super Eight win over England in the Twenty20 World Cup seconds before the toss, after injuring himself in the warm-up. It was later confirmed that the problem was an irritation of a nerve root in his lower back. Edwards did not play on Friday in the semi-final at The Oval against Sri Lanka which West Indies lost by 57 runs to exit the competition. West Indies officials have given no clear indication about how long Edwards is expected to be out of the game with the injury. Link to comment

Watson87 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 It's bad for us, we need practice of the short pitched balls. I guess Bravo and Taylor has to put extra effort to get our boys into form. 4-0 whitewash i am predicting:winky: Link to comment
rahulrulezz Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Damn Edward is only bowler I like from West Indies...Now Raina, Yuvi and Pathan will give WI thrashing of their life... Link to comment
Don Sharma Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 "He didn't show any form of nerves, being around his brother actually calmed him down a bit," said Gayle. "He did well batting and in the outfield as well and hopefully he can get a bigger score if the opportunity comes across him again." Bravo, whose mother is Brian Lara's second cousin, has often been compared with the West Indies legend and Gayle said: "There is some sort of batting technique (similarity), some lookalike. Brian may be his idol." "He's good. He will improve. The more international cricket he plays the better for him," said Dhoni. "I personally feel youngsters need to spend some time, it's up to the board and selectors and captain to give them that time. Most of the players who play at the international level have the talent - it's just that some players get more backing than others. "Some are considered match winners and often match winners are given more time compared to others." Yess...Darren looked good. Hope they leave the kid alone and spare him from the comparisons.
