Does anyone know why the 'big name' Windies players like Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo haven't come on this tour?
I've no idea why, but they are lacking the experienced senior players.Does anyone know why the 'big name' Windies players like Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo haven't come on this tour?

Surely there can be no pleasure in seeing such a poor West Indies side.

Not found any references to it online. It appears that he and others are too busy chasing big bucks in the various T20 competitions.I'm not sure if you were referring to ODIs and T20s but hasn't Chris Gayle retired from Test Cricket?
There isn't! Whilst I always want England to do well, seeing such a mismatch brought little satisfaction. Mind you, had it been the Australians......

That was Boycott's view on TMS - complaining about the poor value for money for the paying punters.
I'm was thinking about going to the ODI in Manchester in September, though may now give it a miss if the performance is so poor. Though they may be better in an ODI match?
Gayle, Pollard, Marlon Samuels and Narine (at least) are expected to play in the ODIs. Apparently Darren Bravo was excluded from the test tour because he refused to apologise for tweeting that Dave Cameron, a big cheese in Windies administration, was a 'big idiot'. Good to know that Cameron, having left us in the lurch, is now doing the same in the Caribbean.
What about his brother Dwayne? Is he due to play in the ODIs?
He's announced that he's injured. Apparently Cameron's replacement (not named May) sought to include Darren but was rebuffed.
Thanks, didn't realise he was injured.
I've noticed his 'injuries' aren't preventing him playing in his domestic T20 tournament, though.
A win for the West Indies by 5 wickets and a few overs to spare! Shai Hope man of the match.
Come to think of it, what ever happened to Marlon Samuels?

Looks like Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels will be back for the ODIs.
