That's a typo on my part, sir. Did not mean to say SA, but rather, NZ.
" Mitchell Johnson is used in short sharp bursts and I am not sure I agree you can only get 5 good overs per test from Rampaul. He is an impact bowler so use him in spells of 6 overs. I would say 8 at the start and 5-6 overs spells thereafter. That will get you 24 overs in the day if required. In this test none of the seamers bowled 20 overs yesterday."
Good point. Rampaul can be used sparing as an aggressive Test bowler.
That seems a very interesting, if not strange, suggestion especially if you are talking tests. Are you suggesting 6 bowlers? I would think the Captain does not lend to a potent attack.
My suggestion was based on my assumption that Roach and Rampaul were injured.
I think Shilly, Narine, Holder, Santokie, Rampaul, Roach and Badree are our best bowlers. Sammy and Deo can bat, so they are also options. We should always pick our best 5 or 6. We also desperateny need to find a very fast bowler; someone like Tino, but with movement and brains.
Dwayne Bravo should never bowl.
My ideal bowling squad for all formats: Narine, Shilly, Roach, Rampaul and X, where X is some undiscovered, fast, super bowler.
Sammy, of course, takes up a valuable spot in our team. He is taking up the spot for a potential star bowler, but this hypothetical star bowler isn't on the horizon, and Sammy bats better than our top order, so it's hard to rationalise dropping him.
