Chase shouldn't have played ahead of Al Joseph
And Hope is hopeless

In reply to allan

give Hope a run, he got a good one

In reply to allan
From the 13, I thought Cornwall and Bonner would sit.Would have been harsh on Bonner as he
been doing very well but did not look good in the 4-day scrimmage.
Hope deserved his place but 3 and I had Powell opening.

While I am a bat first person 99 per cent of the time,I would have given this toss away as The Sammy Cricket Ground
pitch offers generous help to quicks more than any other Caribbean venue of late.

But its too late now...what's done is done and the task is to save this game if not win it.Its still possible
for either result. At least I got to remain optimistic.

Ha! so another excuse now? The excuses we have heard from yourself and other members are too much much Trinis, Shai Hope need to be in the squad, Seales is the messiah, Darren Bravo need to be dropped, so you mean we going to use another excuse now? So now Roston Chase should have been selected?

Chase and Cornwall shouldn't play in the same team except we in the sub continent
Hope - isn't a test opener

From previous performances Hope and Chase shouldn't have started
And worst they are being played in the wrong positions

I might be proven wrong but Chase need to bat at #6 or lower
Hope cannot bat before # 5

does it really matter which 11 we play? honestly. we are so far behind in terms of talent, execution, etc

we had a 2-3 week camp with these guys and we lost the test match in the very first session yesterday. (after winning the toss at home)

all them is shiite it would have not mattered you see the dismissals in the first innings of blackwood, mayers, holder ,cornwall you expect this from top class cricket team

Whatever changes you make makes no difference.West Indies JUST CANNOT BAT!!!Drop and pick and change captains and personel all you like...it will remain the same.

In reply to allan Right on two scores
a. Chase n Cornwall musn't be in the same team. Cornwall a frontline bowler is no better than Chase on a non-spin friendly pitch.
No guarantee Chase presently cannot guarantee you any more runs than Cornwall
b. Chase must never bat above 5
