Mussee think he'd be wasting Geeaves, the only option, down the order? I dunno. Beats me.

Why not open with him.
Look at India’s young opener
It is only one match
If this dent his confidence, then he needs to look inwardly and ask himself how badly he wants this opportunity

Greaves opens for Leewards in Super50. Carty has opened as well. No need to push the youngster up to open. He could have come in at the fall of Carty's wicket.

I agree. He's not an out and out opener, very young in a fragile batting order

The Batting is weakened in the absence of Rutherford and Shepherd but still a deent batting lineup to come in at 4/5. Hope and Carty average 50.

I think Sammy was pressured to kill the young man cricketing career just like how he wants to kill Ravman Powell cricket career big grin

he opens with him because they think he is that good. I have no problem with it. Give the youth caps so he can get experience.

We agree to disagree. I maintain he should not be made to open and if I am proven wrong so be it.

Jangoo needed to be dropped and Hety is our only replacement there and he is a lefty like Jangoo.

The young man has had two failures what is wrong with you people? Jangoo had four failures after his 104*. Sammy has to continue with the youth but do not open with him!

But not even one score of note. I would have given Jangoo another chance. He at least does not look completely out of depth like Hetty and Jewel
