I suggest giving the captaincy to Rovman, he is already WI Stand-in ODI captain and VC for the T20 team. Rovman needs the captaincy experience. Palmer should make way for another more deserving player.

Fully agree, the problem, however, is when R. Powell has to perform for the West Indies. Do you then insert Palmer into the team as a specialist captain?


Once King is healthy, a drop of Palmer for King with Powell as skipper would be a good move. Palmer just does not seem up to task.

I totally agree with your suggestion. The middle order badly needs King batting, he should replace Palmer with the captaincy given to Rovman. Hopefully, King will recover in time for the next match.

The thing is, take away the captaincy and Palmer could be a different plyer.

You might be correct but JCA didn't give us an opportunity to verify that argument.

There doesn't seem to be any young batsmen coming through either.

Bonner, Walton, McCarthy etc have been around for a while, the likes of Shacoya Thomas have been tried & tested.

Yardie batting currently struggling! I guess everyone wants to be like Worl Boss Gayle and aspire to play T20, so even in 4 day matches, they playing like its T20. Go figure!
