Just seen the squad for the Test series against Sri Lanka, and it's good to see that they've made the smart move an included not one, but two spinners. This Amit Jaggernaught sounds like class.

My line-up for the first Test:
1. Chris Gayle (c)
2. Sewnarine Chattergoon
3. Ramnaresh Sarwan
4. Marlon Samuels
5. Shiv Chanderpaul
6. Dwayne Bravo
7. Denesh Ramdin
8. Amit Jaggernaught
9. Jerome Taylor
10. Pedro Collins
11. Daren Powell

I suspect that they'll play Edwards ahead of Collins or Jaggernaught, well that would be a mistake. I've lost all patience with him. Collins is a far superior bowler, and it boggles the mind that he hasn't played a lot more. At least they've made a smart move in dropping Ganga, who was really worse than useless.

But this team ought to be competitive, at least that's what I'm really hoping. They've got decent batsmen and decent bowlers, now they just need to make it come together.
