Johnson for Glen, Bryan for Barnes ...

Jamaica Scorpions should make two changes:

We need three seamers and two spinners on these pitches.

Fortunately, we have found a wicket keeper who is also a genuine
batsman.

I would slot Daniel Beckford where Barnes was.

The second inning failure was just too much for me.

It is time for us to have a look at Johnson, he seems to

be more technically compact than Javelle Glen.

Leeward Islands are much stronger than the Windwards.

We need batsmen who will score BIG RUNS.

We need: Gordon Bryan, Marquino Mindley and Odean Smith - to bowl pace.

Javor Royal and Tamarie Redwood to bowl spin.

I knew the Leewards were strong but stronger than themselves?

batsman.


Based on one match?

Walk with Odean.

Heck, you just need to see a Windward/Leeward batter walking to the crease and you pronounce him Windies ready.

I think that it is a fact that Leewards are stronger than Windwards and can only get stronger when Carty and Greaves return. They are likely to outperform Hodge and Athanaze. What is interesting is who may be expected to sit for Josh and Jangoo in TT team. I would really have liked to see Josh open for TT and try to revive his career based on an opening spot. The fact that Guyana mashed up Bim without most of their front line players means that I can call it already. Guyana wins the championship.

At least we wait until he actually plays.

I guess Barnes will keep his place because he bowls, it is rumored that Johnson is not in the Jamaican team because of discipline reasons, however Trinidad will become much stronger with Phillip, DaSilva, and Jangoo returning,

Actually word is that Aljo to captain the team and you forgot that Mikyle Louis will return to the mix. Last season a winner was not decided until the final round of play and I expect the same this season.

I would also send for Ojay Shields, as cover for

Marquino Mindley.

Jamaica now has the TALENT to be competitive.

For Jamaica, it was not a talent problem, it was who the selectors were choosing to represent the nation.
