While I was tempted to give Blackwood a bligh...I say NO sah!

Keep this side together...taking licks as one and rebounding as one too!

We need a wrist-spinning leggie...Bishoo is a finger spinning leggie.

Is there a wrist spinning leggie out there that fits the profile?

 
openning 2017-05-04 15:03:24 

Allyuh worst than a roller Coaster, keep spinning.
If the selectors had the same mindset half of these guys would not be selected, on its on to the next match, for the spin.

In reply to WestDem Why the hell do you want to change a winning team? is beyond me. This is why we can not get any where. This will give West indies a lot of confidence. You would change every one who fail. Stuart Law was brilliant, talking to the fast bowlers, and where to to pitch the ball and it work.

Brilliant indeed, this will give the players a lot of confidence in his abilities. cool

 
Baje 2017-05-04 18:28:47 

To me, we are one bowleer short. It is hard to maintain new ball pressure with just 3 pacers. I would drop a batsman and bring in Roach or Taylor.
Pakistan with only 4 bowlers keep letting us off the hook. As soon as their pacers get tired, we escape.I hope they keep playing 4 bowlers.

 
Cricket_101 2017-05-04 19:01:19 

No changes. Benching the debutants will affect them psychology... today's win is attributed to total team effort... but kudos have to go to Gabriel, he bowled like a man on a mission with superior control.

You know what's even funnier a few days ago he was lecturing a member on the forum about cricket.

Little did he know that player represented Guyana and the West Indies.

That member is related to Kanhai. How do I know he played and coached our team in T&T.

I PMed that member and we both were falling down laughing.

He just like Hilaire we win tests in the first innings.

mikesiva 2017-05-05 07:43:47 

A good win by the guys, but aside from Chase in the first innings, and Hope in the second, there was not a lot to get excited about from our batsmen. Our pacers won this match, and we're 1-1 going into the final Test with a number of batting passengers.

1) Vishal Singh - 53 runs @ an average of 13.25
2) Shimron Hetmyer - 54 runs @ an average of 13.50
3) Kraigg Brathwaite - 66 runs @ an average of 16.50
4) Shane Dowrich - 87 runs @ an average of 21.75
5) Shai Hope - 103 runs @ an average of 25.75

These batsmen would not be happy with these stats, including the latest Messiah, Shai, who averages just over 25 this series. That to me is a worry going into the Dominica Test. Yes, they are difficult pitches to bat on. But Chase, Powell and Holder are the only batsmen averaging over 30. These batsmen need to up their game, or our joy could be short-lived....

 
cricketfreak 2017-05-05 08:23:24 

There will be no changes for the final not as long as Law has anything to do about it Australians don't like to change a winning combination so i see no changes for the next text.

azadtnt 2017-05-05 11:59:34 

The consideration in selecting a team has to be determined by the playing condition of the wicket, the opposition and the strength and weaknesses of your players as well as performances. The team is and should never be a fixed structure but a core of players to suit the above mentioned.

The Jamaican wicket played different to the Bajan wicket. We played the same team where we lost one and win one (thanks mainly to the wicket condition).

There is need to rotate and not drop players pending on playing conditions. Therefore, I would like to see a true leg spinner that would have the batsmen thinking and not being predictable as well as another strike bowler. Normally Holder is unproductive and on a better wicket we need a impact bowler.

My suggestion for third test is rotate the batting lineup by bringing in Blackwood and push up Holder resting Hetmyer and Singh and bring in Joseph and Cornwall and rest Bishoo

Australian do NOT have below average players like we do. Therefore, not a fair comparison.

 
bobby 2017-05-05 13:09:47 

In reply to Priapus
But in any case, Dominica has been known to take spin. Why are we bringing in another pacer? If we are to drop a batsman for a bowler then it would have to be a spinner.

 
Runs 2017-05-05 13:17:47 

Our batting is weak why would we drop a batsman?

 
powen001 2017-05-05 13:53:42 

In reply to azadtnt

There is need to rotate and not drop players pending on playing conditions.


Reasonable posit.

So the real question is...What type of pitch are they preparing in Dominica?

We getting a Flingingford made pitch! lol lol lol

 
DIEHARD 2017-05-07 11:28:18 

In reply to camos

so you would rather a new guy struggle?


Which new guy?

Hety?

Yes..cos we at least production from Shai at his current position..finally..and we know that he failed miserably against the new ball.

Hety..got some starts at 3, and could still come good.

Or if not the new guy..I'd rather Blackwood..but I dont want to see Hope any higher than 4, he came in at the 16th over..and perished 8 overs into the new ball..that could mean something

 
Scar 2017-05-07 22:20:04 

In reply to azadtnt

And its not true really. They have dropped guys in a series to a)Accomodate a certain type pitch and b) if he replaced an injured player who performed consistently.

Why the hell do you want to change a winning team? is beyond me.


Winning team? Or just one out of every 7 matches or so?


This is why we can not get any where.


I disagree!

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T GET ANYWHERE

Braithwaite....0, 14, 9, 43
Powell.........49, 33, 38, 6
Hetmyer....... 11, 20, 1, 22
Hope...........2, 6, 5, 90
Singh.........9, 9, 3, 32
Dowrich......56, 0, 2, 29,

Out of 24 combined innings:

TWO scores over fifty
TWELVE single digit scores
ZERO centuries

We are not usually this bad. Have you seen the wickets in these two matches? Why do you think the Paki batsmen are struggling?

Blackwood for Hetmyer or Singh.
