My only change would be that Silva opens with Braff and Carty is reinstated but at No. 5. Let Hodge go in at No. 3. Louis is worse than Carty who at least has shown some ability at the international ODI level.

Cricinfo reports that Seales is out with a slight leg injury. Roach for Seales in that case, with room made to include Jangoo one would hope.

Just saw that as well. As long as Roach is fit, he plays as we need his bowling which I suspect will be effective on that kind of pitch. He comes in for Seales and I still think that Louis at least sits for Silva and Carty is shifted down the order to see if this will improve his returns with Imlach who bats NO 3 for Guyana taking that position. I would not debut Jangoo on this kind of pitch. I would stick with Greaves who possibly could open with Brathwaite instead of Silva on the basis that he made all his recent runs in the Caribbean in the opening position.
Brathwaite
Greaves
Imlach
Hodge
Athanaze
Carty
Silva
Sinclair
Motie
Warrican
Roach

As long as Roach is fit

This is the third time in the cycle that this pitch/surface has been used, the opposition has not used a pacer in the first test, and spinners did the bulk of the bowling and took the wicket, not only this series but the one against England.
West Indies need batting, not Kemar Roach.

Glad none of you are selectors.
