A few guys I've not heard of there.... Parchment, Patrick Brown, Roach and Pascal. Any tips on these guys Ninjaman? Any of them the new saviour of West Indian cricket??

Interesting to see Rawl Lewis in there. He had a decent tour of New Zealand a couple of years back, despite taking no wickets (again) he actually bowled fairly well and he was a successful addition at #8, as I recall. Didn't think we'd see him back again though.

None of them are anything to write home about.

Mediocre averages and performances are all that is needed to be in contention for a space in the side.

If you check out Roach's brief record which consists of just 3 List A matches it demonstrates nothing means he should be "highly rated".
