two day matches are rubbish

In reply to velo

I think this is a 3-day match: Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Overnight, Athanaze missed out on a century again, he might have an allergy. All the Test batters spent time at the crease except Greaves who got ran out. Score 273/7

Close of Play Score:
West Indies XI: 273 for 7 (74 overs)
Alick Athanaze 98
Kraigg Brathwaite 34
Mikyle Louis 34
Keacy Carty 22

In reply to voiceofreason

Athanaze got out on 99.

Hopefully Jangoo build on that 29* and force his way into the final XI.

Out of the 3 players that are wicketkeepers, IMO Imlach is the least convincing batter. He seems to be liked for his leadership qualities, let's see how things develop.

With batters.....after practice match...

Braithwaite
Louis
Carty
Athanaze
Hodge
Greaves
Jangoo
Bowlers
Motie
Warrican
Sinclair
Phillips

In reply to Onionman0

On current test form, Jayden Seales is one of the best bowlers in the world. Surely he must be in the XI, regardless of the surface.

In reply to 4REALQUICKS

Onion believes Seales is simply lucky

In reply to Onionman0

No Seales
He must be there

In reply to imusic

i think Onion is seduced by a need for speed. Seales bowls once fit in every test for WI in the foreseeable future. The real test is whether Roach plays before Philip. and whether they go for 3 spinners which would mean that either Hodge or Greaves will need to take a seat in light of Athas' 99

After listening to a summary of performances on the Caribbean podcast, it was confirmed to me that most of you young posters live in the fast food lane.

In reply to PalsofMine

Who has a ton at the test level would still be my first choice.

In reply to imusic



Not lucky but most talented of the lots.....

Not maximizing his potential by bowling within 125-135 km/hr....

He has the best wrist position...seam position of ball... height... physical advantage....but his speed is like Old English bowlers....can be very effective in bowling conditions but hard surface or subcontinent pitches...no effects.....Mr Caddick, Mr Dominic Cook.....

Once he adds about 10 km/ hr....he can be effective in all surfaces...best in the world...
In reply to PalsofMine



Absolutely...in subcontinent conditions... Pakistan playing Sajid , Abrar and Noman..... England played just single pacer in 2nd & 3rd test...while Pakistan used only spinners in 3rd test....

If a bowler bowls at 130 ...in flat deck.... useless....pace, reverse swing can be effective.....


For me, Phillips can be more effective in the given condition than Seales....even Roach can come in the picture, as he is good exponents of reverse swing..

.In reply to allan



On the bench....

but management more intelligent and they would fulfill your wish ...by playing Seales in playing XI ..

Pakistan going heavy on spin by the looks of it

Based on performances so far they gotta find some way to get Jangoo and Sinclair in the XI.

My starting XI

1. Deadweight skippa
2. Louis
3. Hodge
4. Athanaze
5. Jangoo
6. Greaves
7. Can't buy a run vc
8. Sinclair
9. Motie
10. Roach
11. Seales

Seales and roach will play along with two spinners plus greaves and hodge doing some bowling.i would have no problem with carty or dasilva getting dropped for jangoo

WI
1. Brathwaite c Yousuf b Ahmed 34
2. Louis LBW Rameez 34
3. Carty c Rohail b Rameez 22
4. Hodge c Rohail b Rameez 17

In reply to velo

Greaves along with Roach,/Phillips/ Seales.......shares the new ball....
Three spinners all plays......
Motie, Sinclair & Warrican.......

New Zealand played three spinners against India..
England played three spinners against Pakistan...

Both teams dropped their premier Speedsters.... taking into consideration the pitch conditions....

Dynamic decisions required....



Pakistani resting all frontline fast bowlers....

It's Abrar,Noman& Sajid vs Motie, Sinclair & Warrican..
