Honestly I don't think any team selection right now will save us. We just don't have Test players good enough simple as that.
that's bull bro and you know it...
the wicb and selectors are controlled by the top 3 nations, they tell the selectors and wicb who to select. You really think India wants to face a strong west indies in Tendulkar last match? They control the tv rights worldwide for cricket, they lose and over 400 million turn off their tv sets, loss in ad revenue and other ancillary streams.
west indies are the fete team of world cricket, give them the 20/20 world cup, odi every now and then, test matches is more money bc of the length and commerical roi from ads and so forth...
the best team has not played for the west indies in donkey years since the advent of tv revenues...
Narine is 10 times a better spinner than Shilly, insularity is also a part of the equation, but over that is control and money
