Yes, but only a fit cricketer can do that. That boy Greaves is easy on the eyes ...

But he is not as easy on the eyes as Greaves smile He played some sweet drives today, and some nice shots off the pads.

Does that hundred mean the end of Jason Holders test career?

If I am not mistaken this is the fourth hundred on the trot for Justin.

You just as ignorant as the commie
stating nonsense about 4 hundreds on de trot.

De man scored 3 consecutive hundreds then two low scores,
including a duck.

How de hell is the 4 hundreds on de trot.

Holder batted most of his career at 7 or 8 and and had more success with the ball than the bat. He is a gwnuine allrounder however. Greaves by any measure is a batsman who bowls a bit.

Holder has faded but Roach is more keeping Holder out than Greaves. I suspect if Motie was available he would have played before Roach so you could even say Motie would be keeping him out.

Greaves should have gone to England whether Holder went or not

We speculate here, but we never know with the selection panel.

Holder is a very good batsman as proven in his last series before injures.

There may be room for both, as Greaves is playing as a batsman.

If Greaves was playing as an allrounder,
how de hell they picked 4 other pacers?

Windies selection always baffle smart people.

Now, Now.
No need for name calling.
I did preface my statement by the words "if I am not mistaken"
You could have simply said that I was mistaken.
I knew Greaves had scored consecutive centuries, just was not sure what transpired after that.

Really!!

There were treads here about his 4th consecutive hundred, when he scored 27 versus Guyana.
Then another about his 5th consecutive century when he scored a 2 ball duck against Windward Islands.
Obviously the person who created the treads was being sarcastic.

Greaves was a hot topic when he became the first batsman to score 3 consecutive hundreds in all List A cricket.

The name calling was for the commie, not you.
The commentators should know that he scored 3 consecutive
and then failed the next twp games before leaving for the West indies camp.

I beg to augment that.

A Super FIT Cricketer.

You called it...and in the post match interview he said it himself.

He also used the word Maturity in context of speaking to Athanaze and Louis who both left tons on the table.

Agreed say what you want Holder is not a genuine number 6 but was asked to bat there because of either failures or him looking good as the shine came of the ball
