i just think now that Greaves give the 4th option, why not use the opportunity to play the spinner

A batting partnership does not answer a bowling question.

Are you saying that Warrican't could not have made a 50?

Is Warrican't not a better batsman than Roach?

Please check yourself.

Warrican't is about equal or better than Roach.

Also he seems to have shown some serious maturity this year.

I tell myself...They treated Mickey Holding the same way.

I believe the only bowler to escape this level of ingratitude was Malcolm Marshall...but I could be wrong...I joined this MB post his death and Social Media didnt exist when he was laid to rest either.

Because Roach is a better bowler than Jason Holder, and his batting is not far behind Holder as well.

Kemar Roach is better suited as a member of the management staff as a mentor to the young bowlers.

Not on the field. He just blocking the development path of the younger seamers in the region.

Yes he did well with the bat in the first innings and that’s good for the team……but he wasn’t selected for his batting.

He may be a member of Carlton, by not a playing member.
Shai Hope is a playing member of Pickwick
Krigg and Jason Holder are playing members of Wanderer.
I always wonder as to how Kemar prepares for a tournament without reps.
It has been years since he played BCA local cricket, Jofra Archer don't miss a game when he is home.

Definitely a spinner should be played.
But not ahead of Roach. Instead of Alzarri. It is a relative position of luxury that Alzarri is the 4th best seamer. Roach, Seales and Shamar are better than him but credit to Alzarri, he has done really well in this match.
Greaves is an impressive guy, very skilful bowler. Hopefully his batting returns can keep coming.
Ps Alzarri really should do better with the bat- he has ability.
