Can't see a recall for Gayle as a good thing at all. Apart from Arthur's points I think he's a selfish player - which can be fine in a strong and settled team but is really not what you want when you are trying to climb the ladder and hoping team spirit will compensate for some not yet fully developed talent.
I may be wrong . I admit I don't much like the fellow ; though he can certainly give the ball a whack.

Bring in Bravo certainly. Think they must seek a better WK , hopefully one who can bat a bit too. Chase looks reasonable as a fifth bowling option : I would be fine with them playing four quicks if conditions suit...in fact had they done so this last match instead of including Bishoo to stand around in the field they might have made England work even harder for their win...

Lost the series but I think they will see it overall as a step up and I wouldn't disagree. So no , not dead yet.

Good to see Roach back fit and firing...may not be as quick as he once was, but he can still hit 85 mph and with his radar coming back looks a good option for the windies..him and Gabriel together could be deadly...they both need to keep their front foot behind the line though!

Think Gayle's run out the other night, confirmed the fact that he can no longer play test cricket...was shambolic!

Apparently Dwayne Bravo wanted to play in the charity game at lords in an attempt to make peace and again was re-buffed the WICB.... getting bored of this now, when will everyone get over it and make up..

WICB offer olive branch to the Bravo brothers, Pollard, and Narine, they have moved their 50 over comp in an attempt to get them to play in it so can be considered for selection ahead of the world cup

Nothing says irrelevant like 600 million viewers watching live

Proper cricket doesn't concern itself with relevance though.

Stuart Law has resigned as Head Coach of the WINDIES Men’s team to take on a new role in January 2019.

Law, who took over as Head Coach in February 2017, leaves after guiding the Test team to series wins against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh and the ODI team through the ICC World Cup Qualifiers and into the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Law also oversaw the first WINDIES Test Match win in England for 17 years with a five-wicket win at Headingley.

Law will continue in his role for the upcoming away series against India and Bangladesh and will leave to join Middlesex CCC in the New Year.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/ ... head-coach

Richard Pybus, West Indies' high performance director, has agreed to take up the role of head coach full-time, replacing the interim coach Nic Pothas. Pybus' contract, ESPNcricinfo understands, will effectively run until the 2019 Test series against India, which follows the ODI World Cup in England.

The position of West Indies head coach had been vacant since Stuart Law resigned from the position less than two years into his job. He left West Indies to take up a four-year contract with the English county team Middlesex. Originally the fielding coach, Pothas was made interim head coach for the recent tour of Bangladesh that followed Law's exit. West Indies lost Test and ODI series 2-0 and 2-1 respectively, and won the T20Is 2-1.

Pybus took over as high performance director in February, his role requiring him to work alongside selectors and coaches across all levels of the game in the Caribbean. He had previously served as West Indies' director of cricket from 2013 to the end of 2016, when he chose not to renew his contract.

Pybus' return to West Indies cricket wasn't welcomed by everyone. The former West Indies opener Desmond Haynes questioned the process of appointing him - "It would be great to ask the [CWI] president [Dave Cameron] about this appointment and when was this position advertised," he wrote in a Facebook post.
