Tage and Lovell out.

Good to see Keemo making a return to FC cricket.

Despite leading the points standing at the completion of four rounds of the West Indies Four-Day Championship, skipper Tevin Imlach believes the Guyana Harpy Eagles are yet to piece together a perfect game.

The Harpy Eagles sit top of the table with 81.2 points, garnered from three wins, a draw and significant bonus points. Trinidad and Tobago Red Force, the only other unbeaten team in the tournament, are second on 77.8 points.

Harpy Eagles return to their familiar hunting ground at Providence from Wednesday when they face Windward Islands Volcanoes, who are fifth on 42 points.

For this fifth round clash, Harpy Eagles have made two changes from the last round victory over Jamaica Scorpions with the injured opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul and fast bowler Thaddeus Lovell out and all-rounder Keemo Paul and fast bowler Isai Thorne coming in.

The squad reads: Raymond Perez, ⁠Matthew Nandu, ⁠Kevlon Anderson, ⁠Tevin Imlach, ⁠Kemol Savory, Kevin Sinclair, ⁠Ronaldo Alimohamed, ⁠Veerasammy Permaul, ⁠Gudakesh Motie, ⁠Nial Smith, ⁠Keemo Paul, ⁠Richie Looknauth and ⁠Isai Thorne.

Too many gimmicks to the point standing; it is a weird way to develop international test cricketers.
I don't expect any tested development policies from the present lot, has the Windwards send us a truly great test player?

Tage has gone off the stage - sad!

Thought his drop from the Test squad would allow him to reinvent himself, but unfortunately not!

His nets like batting approach not helping his cause... Am not sure if anyone is advising him, but he seem stuck in 1st gear...

His omission may just be they want to see what Perez have, since GHE is on top of the points table.

When these "gimmicks" were initially put in, lots of people liked it
