Surely deserves a callup to ODI Squad! He had a good season last season as well. Now great start! Since he has joined the REVO fold he has been a Revelation!

Where he was going in Bajan colors? The Man has blossomed under the astute guidance of the Revo. He only Bajan in his passport.

In Barbados he was seen as a bowling allrounder batting at 7 /8. We moved him up the order and his bowling is just a part-time something.

I thought Greaves was really good in Oz and should have been picked ahead of Jason for the England tour.
When I say good he appeared very influential and supportive with the younger boys.
Think we do not appreciate that enough as we forget this is a team game.

They've done Greaves poorly
He was outstanding last regional 50 as well

Agree. Bangla is coming up and a third opening spot in ODIs is still up for grabs.

Yes Greaves did well last Super 50, but got injured.

Let him score big again and put pressure on selectors.

Although I don't like Simmons as Coach because of his several biased and rigid decisions......but regarding Greaves ....it was Simmons, who promoted him to open for West Indies.....in few matches, he failed as ODI opener......

Now, getting big scores ..

This one to Ice- cream man .....
