Yes, Holder is average off-spinner ...

Mc Allister has no-ball problems.

4 bowlers? With 2 just pace and no sense and regularly down the leg side. A proper all rounder has to be there to shore up the bowling. We need 20 wickets to win a game. Even more so, since they will not have too many runs to play with, as the batting is lean.

One modification: Brathwaite opens( this is not white ball cricket) and Greaves bats at 6 after Hodge.

i dont mind Yadi's team either but am concerned about going into any test match with only 4 front line bowlers with the 5th bowler being Greaves who at best can only try to hold an end. We need to start picking teams by first picking bowlers who can take 20 wickets, keeper who can bat and then fill the rest of the XI with specialist batsmen (optimistically speaking).

That is the problem. We just do not have 11 players of test standard. In fact we do not have 11 players of international standard for any format. So picking and not picking is just a game.

Would be nice to have an all rounder at 6. 5 bowlers makes us a better team.

if we want to go for a seamer all rounder, the best with the red ball is probably Keemo but he has his issues. For a spinning allrounder, it may be Sinclair, whose bowling is still probably not up to test standard. JaHo has faded away so badly with the ball that he is more a test No. 6 because of how bad our batting is than a test allrounder.

Pity that T20 destroyed Kyle Myers batting, he always got wickets at test level when given the ball.

Bangladesh has an impressive bowling attack, and has shown that some top teams do have some anxious moments against them,playing us would be less of a problem for them;both teams looks capable of taking 20 wickets,it is up to our batsmen.The problem is we have one batsman who has the potential to score big,he is no other than K.Carty,hopefully the others can chip in.
