He is the best cricketer I ever see play , his class is so superb , his stroke play is maginifcent , his strike rate is out of this world . But his best asset is his consistency , he has proven to be the most consistent batsman in west indies cricket . Who cares for Brian Lara when you have the majestic X factor . I would like to commend the selectors the coach and the captain , who none of this brilliance would be shown if it was not for their wise decision.

De X man only holding out for Bravo. Look for Simmo or Hinds next match both double centurions this season. We need an opener real bad.

I am sure(well atlest i hope) he was being sarcastic, because Mr.Marshall lorse he wicket like ah real bobolee di morning.

He was being extremely sarcastic and not very subtle about it either. Marshall is certain to be dropped after this match. Everyone else has looked far more comfortable than him in this match, even Smith who made 6. We've been needing a good opener for some time now.

west indies have good openers and batsmen to replace these clowns, dale richards, ryan hinds, ganga, barath, simmons and recently bravo jr, the technique on the batsmen just listed are far superior to that of devon smith, marshall, nash and even sarwan i might add.

i wont even talk about bowlers bc benn shouldnt have been there in the 1st place but the insularity and racism in the west indies is more and more evident by the day, jaggernauth, mohammed then miller is the pecking order for spinners, benn couldnt even take a 5 wicket haul in regionals, which says alot for better spinners, i could imagine if jaggy got a chance or mohammed like benn has been given.

It sounds like T&T ready to pull out of the WI and add another team to the ICC. Sometimes "quality" players at the regional level don't transition well into international cricket. You can't argue that Pollard played himself out of the team, similarly I was surprised that Marshall got on the pitch in Jamaica. Benn, "who can't get in the top 5 spinners" however has grasped his opportunity with both hand, it is pure unjustified speculation how any other spinner would have done better.

This was a great victory! Now we have to build on that, first by sensible selections. There is no question, based on results that Devon Smith and Xavier Marshall have had enough opportunities, which were not afforded to Daren Ganga and spinners - until now. We badly need a reliable opening pair. Lendl Simmons deserves a shot and when Dwayne Bravo returns, this could be a great team. Daren Bravo, Kemar Roach and Adrian Barath need to be groomed beginning now to come into the team in the near future.

R U disputing the points Dwolfman raised? Di man play 48 matches, so how you mean he dont get a fair chance?

"Ganga is a proven failure at the international level... PERIOD! Again, why compare down to someone else who is not up to the level of the game? Nash and Findlay have just started. Nash in 2 test matches in New Zealand scored 162 runs at an average of 74 with 2 50s. Add 55 to it in this match here in Jamaica. Findlay has yet to play a test match. Ganga in 48 matches averages 25 and Samuels in 29 averages 28 and has as many 50s. Ganga spoiled his own career and I'm sure he is man enough to accept it. I don't understand how they've had better chances than Ganga to prove themselves at the international level."

What does supporting T&T have to do with selecting the best team? Or even with being fair, consistent and basing decisions on merit? Wanting these guys to do well and wanting to see them represent the Windies has nothing to do with realistically assessing if they deserve to be on the team.

Again, I done respond after this. I am all for a proper cricketing debate, not arguments over how many Trinis need to be on the Windies team.
