Has Hope for Windies Test cricket died? I would have preferred to believe in Hope.

No Hope, if there is no Shai - the “gift” that keeps on giving.

West Indies test team is declining hopelessly and we are now behind minnow teams but as long as the team is under Bajan leadership you are happy?? That’s a major reason why WI decline is irreversible, when we have idiot selectors, an idiot coach and these idiot fans.

West Indies all-rounder Roston Chase has been appointed as the new captain of the Test team in the wake of Kraigg Brathwaite’s exit from the high-profile role. Brathwaite stepped down as West Indies skipper back in March this year, shortly after squaring off a Test series in Pakistan by a 1-1 margin.
Nonetheless, Chase has played 49 Tests in his career since making his debut back in July 2016. The cricketer has so far minted over 2,000 runs at an average of 26.33 with five tons and 11 fifties, and has additionally harvested 85 wickets through his right-arm off-breaks.

Roston Chase is currently in Ireland along with the rest of his West Indies colleagues for a three-match ODI series against the hosts. The series will be followed by another three-match ODI rubber against England later this month.

As Test captain, Roston Chase will be seen leading the West Indies cricket team in their upcoming three-match Test series against Australia. The first Test will be played between June 25 and June 29 in Bridgetown. The series will also launch the 2025-27 WTC campaign for the West Indies.

His last 4 test matches
8, 62, 4, absent, 22, 22, 10, 0.

Shiv did better and was dropped.

Chase got promoted to captain.

What a thing eh!

Shocker rolleyes

Not really. He checks the 3 main boxes to be appointed WI test captain

1 - He’s Bajan
2 - He will do as he’s told, no questions asked
3 - He’s Bajan

Well, congrats and good luck to Chase, it is a safe appointment, he is a different player than what he was since he played his last Test. I think he will improve his batting numbers this time around and on paper the team will look stronger. I guess Greaves might have to sit to accommodate Chase and Sinclair's Test career will be on hold.
