I agree with this but still we bowl so much spin that the 10 or so overs our top order batsmen face of fast bowling isn't really preparing him or the others for the sustained attacks at the Test level.

Like sending lambs to the slaughter.

In the last game the commentators mentioned that M Louis is suspect to balls on and outside off-stump, hopefully that is corrected soon as he will be eaten up by international seam bowler real fast. However, Louis has the right temperament to be a solid international player.

I have said before that Mikyle should move up to the A Team for sure. That is his reward for a good season. If he thinks that he deserves more, then he should ensure that he shines for the A team. Because Roach refuses to retire and AlJo seems undroppable no matter how much tata he bowls and that he has only one fifer in test cricket after 7 years, Jeremiah Louis may well miss out if Seales is considered as next in line after Roach, Holder, Joseph and Joseph. I doubt that we will take more than 5 seamers on the tour Jeremiah as well may have to settle for an A Team spot, partnering Phillip and possibly John, making the Holy Triumvirate of fast bowling with Springer as fourth seamer/allrounder and Josh Bishop and possibly Salmon. These actually form a pretty decent bowling line up based on their FC performances and hopefully will be competitive against SA.

Congrats Mikyle Louis on a 3rd Ton for the season. That is pretty rare
feat nowadays in Regional cricket.
You have addressed the WI selectors. Lets see if those venerable men know your address and
destination, England. smile

I will say he has just taken a first class seat on the plane to England waiting for the rest of the west indies team mates to board the plane .

Simply MUST be in the squad and quite possibly make his debut at Lords in July.

Well done Mikyle Louis, here is to MANY more centuries to come...including plenty in the West Indies test team, I hope!

In reply to cricketfreak Ok Bro I agree with you Mikyle Louis for England! I mean the Man just bruck down the door! Impressed with his temperament, good technique and he is a stroke player. In 13 innings he now has 649 runs at an average of 49.92 and I cannot recall another opening batsman with those kind of figures for a long time.

Lol Tage wasn’t that bad in 2022!!!

Obviously he sucks now lol but as much as Louis deserves a call up a couple A team tours would be much better for his development!!!

Every other country bring seasoned cricketers into their International Team WI on the other hand get excited every time a school boy makes runs rolleyes
