Seales played the seniority card on Joseph today. But the batting order will sort itself out in due course

Shamar is ultra aggressive... I think they went with Seales because they wanted someone to block a few so Greaves could get the 100.

It is just aggravating and non sensecal to see Shamar batting at 11, I find him to be good and exciting to look at and also lots potential to get much better

issue is it plays on the player's mind as well ... would stop trying after a while

An aggressive but solid tail-ended actually makes it easier for a top-order batter. We’d have declared much earlier

I understand the thinking, but I think they put Shamar at 11 in the last test as well. So he may just have to knock down the door to bat at 8 or 9 in the future
