Windies need to ensure that they keep such players well groomed and give them enough chances even if he has some failures in future. Their habit of consistently dropping and changing players is what has caused them more than their poor attitude towards their senior players. Time for them to stick to one unit and give them time.

Samuels has been past his sell-by date for a while.  He cost them the 1st test match with his 2nd innings failure on a flat batting track where the pink ball was doing nothing for the bowlers.  Imagine - Windies could have won the series if they had scored 20-30 more runs in the 1st test.  

 

Blackwood is shaping up to be the next samuels - he has some ability, but needs proper guidance and coaching.  Best thing for windies is that they finally have a handful of bowlers with decent potential.  Gabriel, Cummins, young Alzarri.  Holder is a tall Stuart Binny who needs to figure out whether he wants to use his height and become a bowler, or just stay as a filler 4th bowler.  

 

They now have a decent opener in Braithwaite, a decent MO bat in Bravo, a good #6 in Roston Chase, and the keeper Dowrich can bat a bit.  There is enough there to build a quality test team.  But only if they keep developing in the right direction.  Windies can get better, but their board and politics keep getting in the way.  Its too bad, I'd much rather see a strong west indies team than this BS.

This is test match cricket. You are supposed to play like that.good find for West Indies.

No, not necessarily. He plays at the same albeit the situation. Good, but barely an impact player. Boring to the mighty core!
