I like the idea of a more aggressive opening batsman to replace Tage or Nandu. Maybe try Perez again or move Kevlon or the skipper up the order. Nothing to lose here.
The senior team needs an attacking opener since Kraig ain’t going anywhere.

As Mudland winning, they should not give up on Tage.

Well Nandu can sit. The fella batted 5 times yesterday and still didn’t ton up.

Perez is actually an opener... he made the WI U19 world cup as an opener and eventually missed the WC due to an ankle injury.

At the moment I think the side is unbalanced... you need another pace option in there. Smithy should be available for the next match so it will be interesting to see who they drop. My bet is they will drop Looknauth.

Motie might be available too... so it looks like they have to make at least two changes.

Guyana cannot afford a draw. Going for the wins will take some urgency in the scoring starting from ball one.
Perez opens with Tage if fit.
Nandu and Richie take a rest for Motie and Smith

Not gonna happen champ. If Sammy could somehow convince some of these guys to play it will come down to the regional selectors to select them.

Sarwan already mentioned that the likes of Shepy, Keemo, Sherfane and Hety aren't in communication with the GCB so he doesn't know if they are available. So yuh might have some issues there.

Would be nice to see all the teams at full strength though. Guys like Pooran turning out for T&T, Hope for Bim etc.

Next round is against WI Academy.. with the pink ball. Don't think it should be a hard match to win.

Shamar with the pink ball under lights might be a handful.

Tage and Nandu are doing good job at the moment. Nandu is very young with lots potential. Tage needs to focus on cricket, he’s playing under his abilities…

Given that GCB boycotting CWI meetings, maybe is the other way around

True.. anything is possible these days.

A bunch of power drunk fellas fighting to control cricket in the region.
