He hasn't batted in number 3 position in his first class career, bad move to have him at 3 in his debut.
Better luck next innings.

You don't have ea point much less a counter-point. Why should a middle-order debutant be the 1st to walk out? Back in the day an opener/#3 such as Best debuted @6 no?

The team is vastly under prepared for this crazy conditions.
Jango I suspect was promoted because of his ability versus spin. That said, how use us he to play a new hard ball on these turners?
All our top order will struggle in these wickets

Anxiety attack alone can make you lose your wicket cheaply on debut batting @ #3. If the team your repping bats first.

Rangoon is an opener and #3 is a good position on these wickets

According to the powers that be Jangoo is the best batter in team thus the number 3 position!
What else could be the excuse?

If a player is a good batter they should be able to bat at any position, remember Louis and Carty batted in their positions in their first Test

You simply can't put a debut batsman on a friendly bowling paradise @ #3.
Unless he's a George Headley, a Brian Lara or a Viv Richards in the making.
Coach Coley got that wrong.

School dem.
They made him a sacrificial lamb. Not just # 3, which could work had the openers occupied the crease or had a good partnership, giving his some space to settle in, but # 3 in just the second over of the match and in his very first test. Such lack of common sense.
He had batted mostly at # 5 and 6 during his first class career.
He could be a match winner of he explodes at # 5 or 6.

Yes! Simple common sense and not a degree in psychology should let one know a debutant who never batted atv3 before would be more nervous than Athanaze, Hodge, Greaves

Viv, Lara both debut innings were at #4 just checked. Both batting Gods. Both made their debut overseas. India and Pakistan respectively.
The only batsman of note to debut #3 by the West Indies and did well was Lawrence Rowe and that on his home soil, Sabina Park.
That was the history he was up against. Very weird and stupid decision to put him there in that batting line up.
By the way, Carl Hooper made his debut @ #6 in India in the batting line up behind Gus Logie @ #5.

Assuming they wanted a L/R combo, how many on here would have wanted their homeboy Athanaze coming in at #3 since most think it was criminal to have Jangoo at #3?
The Rum Shop is a cacophony of homerism and other isms that I wont race to address.
Wishing Jangoo a good knock come 2nd innings, all bats on deck will be required

Richard Austin the Jamaican opener, where did he debut in the batting line up? Remember there was Haynes and Greenidge in the line up?

Bad decision by management, number 3 is for yr best batsman, who seems to be in this case Athanaze on the tour so far. As it turns out both made ducks. Motie and Warrican can win this match for us, buteven though he picked up a few this match, why open with Motie, if anything Sinclair would be better or even Warrican would be better suited. He is being encouraged thus to bowl quicker

so only opening batsmen can debut in their normal positions?
what makes an opening batsman so special as oppose to say a batsman coming at 4?

He's made his career facing the new ball. Totally different argument.
The pressure of facing first up is already in his mind set.
Some captains winning the toss may use the fact that one of the openers are on debut sway their decision to bat first
