Does that mean Hetmeyer plays immediately while Ambris sits and waits? What about the riddle of Blackwood?

That's just the yardies excuse for their lack of cricketing talent...

Yardies have a lot of talent: Campbell, Allen,King,Thomas,Bulli and the soldier

Push Blackwood up to 3 & move Ambris to 6?
In reply to WICFan
I like the idea of Blackwood at 3 because he will sink or swim but I think he'll swim because he might be forced to temper his aggression with some caution since he will have more overs to face. Blackwood is a natural #3 a position traditionally filled by aggressive batsmen.
..And move Holder to #6 h is quite capable. This will allow us to pick an extra fast man keeping in mind that NZ favors the faster bowlers.

What about batting Blackwood at 8 after Holder?

I like the latter. Go with the extra bowler. Blackwood and Cummings are wasted money. Need 20 wickets to compete
Are you guys overlooking Hetty, who has been in the squad since the English tour?
Did he also failed in the last two series?
In reply to sunfish
Blackwood as a batsman is difficult to predict, he tends to perform not so well in regionals and against minnows but performs strongly against higher ranking teams, go figure! I am sure my bro Logic will be researching the stats!

Some point in time, that will eventually be the top 5. Who bats at 6 will be determined on who bats best, whether Holder or the keeper. At this point in time, i'll go with this squad. Knowing windies, they'll go conservative and keeper Holder at #8.

Is Kyle Hope an Indo muddie?
Just asking.
If it turns out that he is an afro, I will attack you mercilessly and treat you with scant courtesy.

yardies had 7 players on the A team, no issue with passport or talent, A team, then seniors

What people like most about Blackwood is his aggression. But he is no more aggressive than Hetty... and Hetty can bat. So why not give Hetmyer the opportunity at 6. I don't know a lot about Ambris, so someone needs to explain to me why he bats so low down the order for Windwards. If no good reason then he should come in at 3. At least he is an unknown quantity there. We know what we will get from Blackwood....hit and miss is tolerable at 6 but not at the number 3 position.

This is quite academic...remember yesterday you mentioned how invaluable the experience is for the youngsters to warm the benches. Well, Hety may still be warming the bench if the slectors go by your take...the expeerience of not playing is invaluable.
yeah, allyuh talkl nah!
