Who are the better players that the selector who succeeds Browne will select?

List too long ...to mention here !
BUT I can draw from both current regional 4 day Champions
and bring back players dropped for "non cricket" reasons by Browne
ostensibly to practice insularity : ignore this at your peril.
think about it man.....

there must be better players than these....impossible for there to be none.

there must be a better prospect than Kieron Powell. it would be simply incredible if there were none.

Sunil Ambris is an idiot..at 24. he is too old to come in and play like that. he is a loser who makes his own bad luck. in a normal world he would have to work real hard and long to dispel that impression he himself has created with his stupid innings to first off.

the question I asked myself about Hetmeyer first off: Can he score tons at #3 right off the bat! and if he cannot then wickets would be quickly down after Powell predictably failed early . and if down inroads into the middle soon to follow.

so given the state of the order it was crucial to try to create a wall in the first 3 up to protect the middle. if one goes early the next 2 solidifies, ensuring a decent total

so wat does that expose..if not a serious brain trust problem..how to go about buttressing the batting order with brains if ability is not enough?

Hetmeyer at is indicative of no good thinking about the cricket among those responsible. immediately as I saw Hetmeyer at 3, I said problems for the batting. so who to put at 3...a headache given how things have developed or evolved

“This is the worst cricket ever …these guys are playing like novices…some of them should learn the basics before they even travel with an international team.”

Chris Gayle, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard, Darren Bravo, Dwayne Bravo
Marlon Samuels, Samuel Badree and Darren Sammy
will all be offered pro-rata contracts based on their performances in the upcoming series in the short term.

"The amnesty will be replaced by a technical committee which will work out eligibility criteria," CEO Grave said.
"The meeting probably will happen either before Christmas or early in the new year.
And I would be surprised if they suggested anything else other than players have to play Super50."

"However the logic behind those is - Carlos, although he is not in ODI team, is our T20 captain,
Jason [Mohammed] is the ODI vice-captain
and Ashley Nurse has performed well this year in limited-overs cricket.
Evin, Rovman and Kesrick are upcoming players.
We want to offer incentives to want to play and be loyal to West Indies ~~ ;)

I know, I know BUT i wanted zac to look at all the names that are non Browne insular picks !
and Graves finally stepping in
I am surprised that Jimmy Adams is not taking a more active role in Selection !

"I create paper work and numbers, selectors chose those to award contracts.
Jimmy (Jimmy Adams, CWI director of cricket) and I weren't involved in that"

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."
