I'll be getting back to you Dan. I'm a Trinidadian and a follower of WI cricket. I was left befuddled, confused and angry even before we faced a ball in the T20 World Cup. A cursory glance at your article (I'll get to a full read by tomorrow hopefully) reveals that you are saying in pretty numbers and pictures and pristine English what I have been saying in curse words for the last couple months. I look forward to reading the entire article and reverting with my thoughts.
Tbh it does look a lot worse than the old guard, at least in the batting. Brandon King has had a poor few years and was average at best in the international games he has played. Mark Deyal has shown improvement of late but at 28 his ceiling is not particularly high. Kennan Lewis is a slogger who will get found out at the highest level. Cornwall does has a good strike rate but comes with notable downsides - he would have really struggled in the day games during this world cup for example. With the possible exception of Sherfane Rutherford, the new guard is not a match on the old guard!

Why isn't Sunil Narine on this list though?
