Many Test matches with 3 bowlers and Holder.

We need to play four bowlers otherwise we

wouldn't be bowling out many teams.

In reply to Gun_Play

But they go win with that batting lineup?

In reply to imusic

I don't see any other batting line up starting on Friday.

I'd be surprised if that one didn't play.

In reply to Gun_Play

You ragging on the bowlers and the batting probably worserer.

And why would u play 3 pacers PLUS Holder? Unlikely bruh

They'll play the extra bat because for all the alleged weakness of the bowling, the batting is weaker

Right now in the rebuilding phase, the idea is to be competitive and hone the skills of the young players.

Winning is secondary for such an inexperienced team.....expectations are unrealistic.

In reply to imusic

Well, we would be looking only to draw cricket

matches.

We need a bowling attack to bowl teams out

twice.

Four bowlers an a allrounder is the recipe for

good test teams.

The batsmen need to learn how to bat.

One more batsmen isn't going to make a diffence

if you have to wait until the opposition

declears to bat.

In reply to runout

You may not win but you have to learn to compete

as well. Otherwise what are you doing out there?

In reply to Gun_Play

My point bro. The team needs to compete, and we as fans should not set unrealistic expectations.
Let this young team go out there and put it all on the line. Will make us all proud.

In reply to runout

Agreed, I wish them the best.

Gabriel, Joseph Holder Bishoo Chase was the bowling attack when we last won a test.

In reply to Oilah

I know... that's why I said 'Many'.

This too me is a team who could take 20 wickets

.....I have sacrificed Dowrich for Reifer...and dropped Holder for Roach for more bowling power

In reply to runout

Are you sure about that?

On this MB, winning is everything. Haven't you been watching the crap spewing on this M_board since 2000?

In reply to runout

To a man, Windies don't have winning talent..compared to the top 8 test playing nations

In fact, I'd be very surprised if Windies won any of these test matches. Anyone of their batsmen with an average over 40?

In reply to SirGarny

I am a bit more optimistic. I think Shai, Singh, Hetmyer, KB will all do well. Perhaps 40+ average for the series too!

My thing is I want the team to start feeling like they can win again...whether they win or not is inconsequential.

In reply to runout

So how can the team start to feel that they can win again if whether they win or not is inconsequential?

Maan, you must have been reading to much of Point's verbiage.

In reply to Toney

It all starts with belief...belief doesn't translate to immediate success.

In reply to Gun_Play

We can't win many tests...period

In reply to Gun_Play
What has Leveridge done to merit a play?
What was the team that won the last test in UAE?

In reply to Oilah

In reply to Baje

I'm looking for a serious pacer who can bowl alot of overs.

Leverigde is fast and fit.

He brings pace... and nobody likes serious pace.
