West Indies Squad announced for T20 against India in Florida. Carlos Brathwaite named new captain

[Ankit_sharma03]

Squad- Andre Fletcher, Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite (captain), Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Evin Lewis, Jason Holder, Johnson Charles, Kieron Pollard, Lendl Simmons, Marlon Samuels, Samuel Badree, Sunil Narine.

Who are the fast bowlers here????? will Russell be leading the attack ??

 

We are so going to loose against them. They all are coming from CPL and half of our team from test mode rest from holiday. 

Pandya, Manish pandey, Sran would be in Australia for A tours. Bcci has said it would be a 14 men squad and dhoni and bumrah a likely to join them directly. If thats true means no Raina, Yuvraj or any other specialist is going so we might end up seeing Rahane in 11.

WI T20 team is much stronger than IND team on the cards. Going to be good game of cricket. 

[sandeep]

Stupid of the board to give Braithwaite captaincy.  They are risking ruining these players because of politics.  

[Forever Indian]

Should have had Russell or Bravo as captain

Yeah, but Bravo is vetoed because he has a history of confronting the board.  Russell is a T20 millionaire and can afford to challenge the board.  Board only wants "Yes, Massa" players to be Captain - team's best interests be damned.

You guys will anyway lose,they are having lot of power hitters + all rounders. but at least put up a fight. All the best Indians!! Its gonna be Kohli Vs WI 

[Laaloo]

Will be very tough to beat especially with Mr.Process back

[vishalvirsingh]

Dropping umesh  was wrong.

He took 4 wickets in first test innings of wi.

 

That was wrong I believe.

I wud pick umesh ahead of bhuvnes.

He wud hv been deadly on green track.

I have perfect vision dear.

This is for tests.

Bhuvnes is a steady odi or t20 bowler and a good test bowler in first spell of 4 overs.

Genuine fast bowlers become under 130k trundler  in second spell.

Wait  see bhuvnes in later spells

Understand bhuvnes is a trundler after all.

OK.  Let's have a friendly bet on Bhuvi's performance in this test match.  What do you consider a good enough performance for the 3rd seamer in a test match? 4 wickets?  

 

4 wickets and an Economy rate below 3 over 15% of the total overs bowled would signify a job well done?  Of course more wickets would be better, but let's establish the floor here.   And if he meets that, then open a thread with "I was wrong about Bhuvaneshwar Kumar" as the subject.  If he doesn't, I will do so.  Lagi Shart?

This test is only for pacers...any pacer will get success.

If bhuvnesh beats shammi n Ishant in the bowling analysis then I can say bk is cool.

Understand he becomes under 130k..I m sure about my statement that umesh is a better test fast bowler than bhuvnesh

Really?  So Did Yadav do better than Shami and Ishant?  Why moving goal-posts?  Below are Yadav's stats across 2 tests - he did well in Antigua, not so well in Jamaica.  Only got 1 wicket.  I'm sure that Bhuvi will out-perform what Yadav would do in this coming test.

[vishalvirsingh]

I am 100 percent sure that bhuvnesh is going to be an average test bowler..he is a Trundler. 

Umesh is better.

Umesh will be back in next test.

[vishalvirsingh]

Bk is trundling at 133k with new ball. 

Oh average test bowler.

Are you even watching? Or just scoreboard watching?  Bhuvi has bowled well.  Yes, he hasn't picked up a wicket (yet) but he's doing all right.  8 quality overs so far.  

[moniker]

The only time Yadav has been successful in this series is in the first innings of the first test when he was given the new ball. In the other three innings he bowled first change. Pretty unfair to compare with Bhuvi who's going to open the bowling more or less every time he is played.
