What exactly is his weakness ?....Batting experts on the board can you offer some advice ?... with Kraigg in poor form too this is a major concern. Campbell needs to step up....20s 30s and 40s are not good enough and then getting out.

Campbell is a stylish batsman who likes to play his shots and he is a joy to watch when he's on the go.
However, the good length ball pitched around off stump seems to cause most of his dismissals. So he will have to work with his batting coach and figure out what he is doing wrong.
The ball pitched around off stump and moving away is one of the most dangerous in cricket. Even the great batsmen have trouble with that delivery especially early in their innings.
Campbell has work to do or bowlers will target his off stump all day long.
2021-03-28 07:32:09
How many more matches should he be given?
The only one with an average below 30 in the top 6.

A problem of shot selection then....off stump....when to leave when to play...a basic thing one would have thought.

In reply to TEMPER
I' m not sure it's shot selection, it probably has more to do with technique. Hopefully, he can sort it out before Monday.
2021-03-28 10:53:55
level of concentration poor so a good nut has a good chance of dismissing him, he has all the shots but applying them, when and how seems another problem.

Luckily fuh Campbell in Simmons we have a bossman who seems to be conservative and dont like change. Or he gives me that impression.Or Campbell would have been dropped.Now we have Krsigg out of form too we asking fuh trouble.
2021-03-28 14:15:45
what a thing both opening batsmen are technically deficient outside of the off stump
2021-03-28 14:26:12
Drop Campbell and put who to open??????
You guys are pitiful.
Do not tell me Hope who has opened 9 times in test cricket and averages 14.33!!!!!

To the best of my recollection Hope batted at no.3 in tests....though i could be wrong..but it doesnt make much difference
Hope should be recalled...The Campbell experiment is a failure...he has had a long run.

Correct!
One more thing, and this applies to all our batsmen: Except when cutting or hooking, you must keep your head over the ball. Don't let your bat go too far in front of your body.

The tricky thing about the Campbell situation is that he is improving, he is occupying the crease more than before, with some of the others they're going backwards, Braithwaite, Hetmyer, Brooks and Chase have become more inconsistent lately.

Interesting how you love to talk about context but have zero issues with telling only part of the story when it suits you
Shai Hope has played 34 test matches with 64 innings and averages 26.27 to date
He debuted for West Indies as an opener and opened the batting in 5 of his first 6 Test matches. Those test matches were against England (1 test) & Australia (2 Tests) in the Caribbean, Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka (2 tests), and Australia in Australia (1 test).
The lone exception in those first 6 test matches being the 2nd Test against Australia in Kingston when he bat at 5 and Chandrika opened the batting with Brathwaite.
Among the bowlers he faced at that stage of his career were James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Mitchell Johnson, Josh Hazelwood, Mitchell Starc, and James Pattinson
All shoo ins for the fast bowling hall of fame and in the prime of their respective careers.
Just adding some context to your statement.

Your argument would be stronger and the CONTEXT would be clearer if you showed the other 3 times he opened.
Was it against NZ and India or ZIm and Bang?

You are inconsistent.I got the impression that you agreed with Hope being dropped from the test team.At the time of his dropping he was wildly successful in ODI cricket.He has since continued his success at ODI cricket so now you are clamoring for his recall to the test team.I f you think that your stance is one of probity then we will have difficulty sustaining a meaningful discussion.

The much-maligned Chandrika's stats as a WI opener should make for an interesting comparison to both Shai's and the current Campbell's.

I really don’t know whom is in wings to replace Campbell. All that I’ve seen are more suited for the shorter format... Spend .5hr at the crease with a breeze 30 and in pavilion warming bench with four days to play...

You obviously don’t watch ODI cricket and you certainly didn’t watch the last series against Sri Lanka
Either that or you just straight up lying

UR Mixing apples with oranges...
I listen to it... ODI and Test cricket requires different approach/temperament ... Test requires mental toughness and patience, I don't see that any of the ODI openers... After 4 overs ODI tek over dem skull and they'll start to lash ball, after dah the rest is history. Which ODI opener you've in mind?

Campbell is definitely improving as far as his shot selection and general defence. Ah.... strike that. He's out
2021-03-29 14:35:59
In reply to dayne
Not trolling, my friend. I was in process of posting about the hard work he is doing to improve his technique as an opener when he drawn into one.
Maybe Campbell is in fact Dukes' proverbial tortoise that we are spending too much time on because he is trying hard to improve.

Give him about 2 more years of Test regardless of his one 40 plus per series since no one else who either played Tests or has more Test tons or 50s exists. That seems to be the feeling here.

30 test matches at age 27 with an average of 25.

Kraigg spoke about Discipline...
Is he by inference saying that Campbell is INDISCIPLINED?
