Johnson Charles is looking very impressive

Now, I am quite pleased that Dr. Desmond Haynes observed this improvement

in his batting technique. Of all the opening batsmen chosen he appears to

be the one best equipped to score fast against SPIN.

That's a good line up there. I think Agent Smith would have to make way for Joseph in the final XI. However, Smith makes the squad.

You'd better hope that injury isn't serious

Put Alizari Joseph in, instead of

Odean Smith.

Exactly.

Also Y Carriah is a proper Batsman

he could bat as high as #7.

His stated role is that of reserve wicketkeeper. Knowing this team management, and how rigid they are in their approach, I’ll be surprised if he starts at least in the first few games

Yup, he also is a handy spinner. It really increases our batting depth

Evin Lewis has work to do in Guyana.

He has to score significantly in 2 innings in Guyana in order to start in the WC.

 
armchair 2022-09-20 20:15:41 

In reply to DukesYou would like him to score in 2 innings to start but the truth is he will likely start over Johnson Charles, REGARDLESS of what happens in the Guyana leg

There is room for Mayers in the middle order if Charles and Lewis open. On form, Mayers is in front of all the other potential middle order batsmen in Pooran, Hety, King, Reifer and Powell. i would like to see him bowl more to see if we can entrust 4 overs to him to allow us to lengthen the batting.

You are probably right about Lewis not needing to perform to play in the WC.That is how WI cricket operates.
