Why does Kraigg get to play 94 Test matches (and counting) to average 33, while others get dropped after 10 for averaging the same? Why does Chase get to play 49 matches to average 26 and Hope gets to play 38 matches to average 25, while others get dropped after 6 for averaging the same? Surely the answer ain't in their passport!!!



why should Blackwood lose his place in this company?

Exactly! The selectors dropped Blackwood cos he averaged 31 in his last 10 innings with just 2 fifties. Based on this standard which the selectors dropped Blackwood, everyone should average more than Blackwood's 31 or face a drop! Athanaze averages 25 after 17 innings with 2 fifties. Hodge averages 29.85 after 14 innings. Louis averages 21 after 10 innings!

Rah, nobody has averaged more than Blackwood after 10 innings. The cupboard that bare that we just accepting 20-sinting averages in the top order now.

With this youthful team.....Holder should be brought back as red ball captain.... although severely criticized by posters.....in 35 matches, he won 12 matches....his victory percentage is next to Richardson and better than Lara, Gayle and Sammy....
Braithwaite should be playing in the middle order.... with Two new openers.....

So, if you don't get what you want?

Are you willing to raise Frank Worrell from rolling in his grave to solve the problem, if any?

Seechy I recall Kraigg was on the verge of getting dropped before the Bangladesh test series which he captained in 2021 as a substitute because Holder chickened out after the 8 day nz tour( each test finished in 4 days . That he stayed was entirely as a result of holder not wanting another beating in Bangladesh which I assume he fully expected( as we had been skinned on the previous visit) and Kyle mayers double hundred

Holder referred to Kraigg as his Banker, these guys know each other's game, and I could not see Kraigg being dropped.
Where are you getting your info from?

that can't be a compliment coming from somebody who clearly knows nothing about captaincy and tactics.
He may not know anything about captaincy, but they know each other games.
These guys have been playing cricket for the same club as youths

If a 40 average at our FC level struggles, what say a 20odd?
