I Was Off To A Holiday Break

Just before the test match started. I looked at the starting line up and so Ralston Chase still in and Alick Athanze not given a chance to debut. I switched the TV off and that was it for me. That Coach Coley make Braithwaite dictate terms to him. He doesn't deserve any job in the set up.

I can understand why Chase was picked…

South Africa dropped Jansen….and picked 2 spinners….

The pitch conditions dictated that we do the same.. I wouldn’t blame the captain as coach

Problem is that hopefully this will show once and for all that Chase is not good enough to play as a spinning allrounder especially since his batting has fallen off so badly

if anyone deserves blame it is Dr Desmond Haynes

When last Chase get a test wicket. If you're gonna select a back up spinner then Jimbo is far better suited for the role. One which can bat a bit.

Call me what you like but picking sense out of nonsense will prevail me.

I cant disagree with you…

When you see what Harmer and Maharaj were doing on that pitch you wonder if WI had any spinners…..

I wouldn’t blame the skipper or coach for picking Chase in this test…but he should not have been in the squad in the 1st place

Tat Motie did the business in the 1st innings but didn’t bowl enuff in the 2nd or so they said

Motie bowled poorly in the 2nd inning…

Kraigg’s captaincy which is generally quite good was off in this series and this match as well..

He allowed Temba to settle early in his inning by bowling Reifer when he had Alzarri Joseph languishing in the field

I think that Blacks should be promoted as cappo

Courtesy would agree, I believe big grin

My bad- it was Reifer who he had bowing to Temba early in his inning…

Kraigg is my skipper for life bro…Blacks say Kraigg is a “very great skipper’ - “who doesnt get enough credit” - and I agree

A couple of off games does not sully his stellar record in the least lol

I am a fan of Kraigg, would love to see his average close to 45, he cannot walk and chew gum, so Blackie or anyone should take over.

Tarnish or Tat Motie would bring a certain unifying quality to the role
