Actually d real passenger is Samuels.. averaging 14 for d past 12 months in test!

He should stick to ODI... one 50+ score in his last 9 test matches...

I would always play my most experience batter.. not certain if blackwood technique will allow him to do well against these swing bowlers and leg spinner
expect low scores max (200) in each innings from us

Sorry. My mistake! I knew I was missing someone in the middle. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I fixed it. Had to replace Carlos.

In reply to allan Wtf!? JHO is fine as the Capt. He will bloom to a very good allrounder. Give the facting guy a break.

After 17 Tests, Holder averages 27 with the bat, and 48 with the ball...how many more Tests should we give him to finally come good?
cool

In reply to mikesiva Isn't he still very young? A change in captaincy? U really want us to be the laughing stock of the cricketing world? Fans still cheer fuh wi, wi don't want jeers! Come on, get serious sah.

shock

Having a player like Holder as captain already makes us a laughing stock of the Test playing world!
lol
His Test batting average has now increased to 28, but his Test bowling average is now 49! When do we drop him? When his bowling average is over 50?

Just because someone is young, doesn't mean they will be good. They have to show ability too, and Holder does not show the ability to perform at Test level. This needs to be about performance.

And talking about performance, Shai Hope averages just 15 with the bat in Test cricket. How many Tests has he played? Six? Seven? The time for him to come good is now....

Hope's Test batting average is less than Holder's! Now, that is bad...he needs to come good in this Test.
