12th man.. Bishoo
Samuels attitude is a cancer and needs to be cut out. Smith regains his play but we have batsman who can be given a chance (Hope, Johnson, Theophile). Bravo should a lots wary of being dropped if no consistency is show SOON!!

Dude!!! Permaul is not in de squad
In reply to WestDem
know that. Just want to see the back of Samuels.
He is the leading senior batsman in the team and just isn't pulling his weight.
I would excuse an aging Shiv at 40.
In reply to analyst-kid
Are u dropping Samuels because 3 Yardies in the team?
Samuels bowling and batting not good enough for you?
also I would rather Johnson or Theophile opening than Devon!
In reply to analyst-kid
Samuels has been making runs? Where are you getting your facts?
In reply to XDFIX
never even looked at the team composition. Samuels is the joker in the pack after over 50 tests.
In reply to Runs
I implied with Permaul and Bishoo you would be guaranteed MORE RUNS AND WICKETS TAKEN than WITH Samuels and Benn.
In reply to analyst-kid
Why would you excuse Shiv, and is Bravo pulling his weight?
Lastly, what have Theophile and Johsnon done as openers that tells you they are better options as openers?
at 56 tests ave 35.55 with 6 centuries he has already played more tests than Weekes,Worrell, Walcott,Butcher,Nurse and Rowe with considerably less average......what are we waiting for re Samuels?
Shiv is winding down while Bravo still shows more promise and a better average than Samuel's ever sustained.
I would only excuse Samuels on the fact that he has a healthy 55+ ave vs Eng.
OTHERWISE SAMUELS SHOULD GO...time for the youngsters...it is not like you replacing a great or very good player!
In reply to analyst-kid
We are waiting on the likes of Weekes,Walcott,Butcher,Nurse and Rowe to come forward so we can drop Samuels!!!!!!!!!!
In reply to Dukes
Samuels attitude is hard to stomach.
In reply to Larr Pullo
You do not replace bad with worse!!!!!
In reply to Dukes
He certainly doesn't make it easy to keep him around..
However, Simmons said that he, Smith, and Blackwood apologized for the way they gifted their wickets, so maybe they are being impressed upon to be introspective and self critical. It could only help....
In reply to Dukes
Drop Chanderpaul....the Pommies need a reason to open Jimmy Anderson's bottle of champagne
I imagine Benn´s position is under threat, the challenge is who is going to bowl all of those overs. Bishoo should play but Samuels would have to bowl more. I thought Kraigg Brathwaithe was bowling more at the 1st class level and should get an over or two to see how he goes, but then perhaps he is not bowling in the nets and therefore does not merit this consideration
Samuels has always had ability but having been hit in the head by Malinga and always having an arrogant streak his Psychology now is probably poor!
The problem is that we are lacking 3 serious batsmen in the top 6 ---Samuels?????, Bravo has had problems, lacks match play BUT has some class------, Blackwood is still learning but shows hope----even Shiv may finally be waning and at 40 is no spring chicken so has to be monitored.
So who are the batsmen to push these gents out?-----Hope? Dowrich??? Theo?? DEo???
Bravo needs to drop to 4. I would move Samuels to 3.
Bishoo or Permaul to come in for Benn.
In reply to Larr Pullo
And that right there is the effect of Simmons and his focus on attitude.
I do not see any change for the second Test except to bring in another leggie for Benn. I am sure that the two Bs Blackwood and Brathwaite can put in 15 or 20 overs between them.
