Nope and he looks like he has some more runs under the belt as well. A good season will do a lot for his confidence for our non-playing test vice captain after that drop in Pakistan.

Well, he is 26 years old so nobody should be considering writing him off just yet. Tevin Imlach, who took over the gloves for the tour of Pakistan, is actually older than Da Silva. If Joshua Da Silva comes back stronger, all the better for West Indies cricket.

Indeed. Either one of them has a chance as playing as a batsman only if they have a good enough performance for the season. Both are already ahead of Athanaze, Greaves, Louis, Carty to date.

I can't see him replacing anyone in the test team- not for his batting or his glove work. He dropped catches today.
He had a nice long run, but he did not improve in any part of his game.

Carty is extremely vulnerable in the red ball squad. I was one of those calling for him to get a chance as he looked so organised in his play but he has been pretty woeful in the tests and not so exciting in the field even. If he ends up with a season FC season, he should be in the A team at least but not even in the test squad for me

agreed. I have said previously that my only conclusion from this game is how easy the pitch was to bat on. Each of these teams had a chance here to pull ahead in the championship but lost out because it was impossible to get a result in 4 days on that pitch once teams were fairly evenly matched as these were. All it means is that Guyana and probably Barbados remain within touching distance.

yes. had to apply himself though. josh is clearly showing he wants his spot back. that is the kind of application we want to see from WI players, especially with the 2025-27 WTC being a referendum/extinction level event for WI cricket

Josh is a good batsman and mentally tough, which is a plus for him. He needs to work on his technique against certain deliveries…

against spin certainly. looks a little awkward. i have no problems with his technique against pace. in fact i think he's one of the best players of fast bowling in the west indies right now, and thank god he missed that pakistan tour, it would have surely destroyed his confidence

Josh can bat. He should focus on that and making the WI team in that capacity.

The gloves is a handy utility tool to have in case it’s needed.

But his focus should be fully on his batting.

Hahahaha. Was having a rough day at work and then saw this and the skies immediately lightened. What competition pray tell? with a bunch of pple averaging in their teens and twenties?
