Played a very good innings but threw it away when set for a century.Tage is in danger if he does not fire in the first test vs India.

Tage is not in any danger if Kirk doesn’t display enough commitment to convert to 100s.

Absolutely I think Brandon King is one of our better batsmen . He made two consecutive ducks but like good cream will rise to the top sooner rather than later

Let’s hope so!

Would believe it, the first time I saw Kirk was in the CPL final last year and even though he didn’t make much, the way he shaped, I said to myself this boy will go far!

Wait Kirk made two 90’s leading the batting and you are talking about lack of commitment? Why are these guys always creating double standards, when incumbent Reefa cannot even make a 50 against an A-team, yet he and others are safe? Crazy talk continues!!

indeed. When last have we seen any WI batsman string together such a run of scores? Problem of course is that he has to displace incumbents, not always the easiest thing. if he plays the final match, I would like to see McCaskie come in and Kirk batting at #3. Good for Carty that he has made a decent score. He had a rough FC season but is probably inspired by McKenzie and Athanaze. Poor King has picked the wrong time to lose form.

He should get a diet of it on this tour so I hope that like the great Mass George, he learns to play it.

McKenzie should make the team as a number 3, that is where the vacancy exist.

He needs attention in the nets dealing with spin bowling. After that he will have the potential to be a #3 or #4. I like him. There is something there but he still has work to do.

Thank you for bringing your experience to this post.
We seem to look at a few innings, select the player, quickly discard him and go on to another.
We have let to from from or failures of the last 30 years.
Let the rebuilding begin.
Tage and Kraigg stays at the top for now, in a few years Kraigg can be Shivlike, batting down the order.
Kirk
Athanaze
Blackwood/Mayers
DaSilva
Holder/Mayers
Hosein/Motie
Joseph
Seales/Jordan
Roach

The current number 3 is not staying around until the arrival of spin, so that alone, even if incremental ,is an improvement. wink
