At this point I will recommend that Keacy Carty

and Sherfane Rutherford be inserted in the WI

Test Squad to face Australia.

Also Motie as top order batsman and allrounder

In reply to Yadi

Endorsed!

In reply to StumpCam

The Test Bowling Unit is much more straightforward:

Spinners: Jomel Warrican, Vice-Captain and Roston Chase, Captain.

Fast Bowlers: Alizari Joseph, Jayden Seales, Shamar Joseph and Kemar Roach.

In reply to Yadi

so Motie get dropped?

Exactly.

Motie for 50 overs and less.

Hosein for 20 overs.

Vice-Captain, Warrican , for tests.

In reply to Slipfeeler

I am currently monitoring the A-team vs South Africa to


continue filling out my BATTING suggestions.

Kraigg Brathwaite is also in my squad.

In reply to Yadi

To do what exactly?

In reply to imusic

Interviews!! Well spoken Bajan fella!

In reply to Yadi

riutherford should have been in the squad as of yesterday. disagree with kraigfg though. kraigg cannot bat. 33 at 100 tests proves that. we need to move on

In reply to Yadi

In my view, Sherfane Rutherford, should be in the starting eleven against Australia.

In reply to Yadi

Last time Rutherford played Red Ball Cricket..2019..
Now, on the basis of white ball performance , if test selection is done.....why not abolish regional dungheap 4- day tournament....those foolish players, playing 4-day...should participate in different T-20 leagues...Nepal,UAE, Zimbabwe...excel...get promotion to IPL,BBL,PSL...get entry in test team....how foolish of
Silva
Anderson & rest...

Carty...will surely be in test set-up...

I agree Brathwaite, should be in team...Jason Holder be in the bowling line up...Seales,Joseph,Shamar, all leaks runs even in test...bowling line-up depends also on what pitch, we play....batters
Campbell
Brathwaite
Jangoo
Silva
Carty
Chase
Holder
Imlach
Anderson

In reply to Onionman0

The last time Braithwaite played against Australia, he averaged about 8 runs for the entire series but you would rather include him in the squad over the player McKenzie who topped the batting average with 34.5 in Australia? On what basis?

In reply to Jumpstart

Endorsed.

In reply to Onionman0

Rutherford can flat-out BAT.

And he has a good Cricket MIND.

I believe that he has improved his

batting technique TREMENDOUSLY ... in

the last 18 months.

His TECHNIQUE and CONSISTENCY are what

make me a believer.

In reply to Yadi

You are very well entitled to your opinion.....but facing Starc, Cummins,Hazelwood..... despite all the attributes you say Rutherford has.....one needs red ball practice....last time Rutherford faced a red ball was 6 years back.......

For me, Carty,Silva, Anderson, should be the batters but whatever I gather from the Brandon King is going to be part of test squad ...the test captain and management team have been withdrawn from Ireland series...

In reply to Onionman0

Neither Joshua DaSilva nor Kevin Anderson will be in the upcoming test squad against Australia

Squad will likely be as follows:
Chase
Warrican
Brathwaite
Louis
Campbell
Athanaze
Hodge
King or Jangoo
Greaves
Imlach
Seales
Roach
Shamar Joseph
AlJo **
Motie **


AlJo and Motie are both in the T20 squad to Ireland. Those matches finish on June 15. The 1st test against Australia starts on June 25

Assuming AlJo in particular plays all T20’s, that’s going to be an extremely heavy workload for him to come back and play 5 days of test cricket (theoretically).

They might have both AlJo and Motie in the squad, but not the starting XI.

Jangoo MIGHT get a nod in the squad over King because of his wicketkeeping as a backup to Imlach.

In reply to imusic

and Keacy Carty
he is the most productive batter in the region right now

In reply to allan

Carty in the same boat as Aljo and Motie

Lol Carty couldn't even buy a decent score in the FC season... because he is scoring some runs in limited overs cricket (where the ball hardly does anything) he is considered the most productive batsman in the region and is suddenly a sure pick in the test XI.

Yall know red ball cricket is completely different from white ball right?

In reply to imusic

My assumption based on CWI and management....
AlJo not in test set-up as of now. .Seales,Shamar,Roach...pacers
Greaves allrounder
Chase default captain all rounder
Warrican vice captain spinner ..

Silva is surely in playing XI, if not then zero justification...the boy had ticked all boxes, required for test selection as batter. .
Anderson in squad...

My team , .
Jangoo
Campbell/Louis
Brathwaite
Hodge/Carty
Silva
Chase
Holder/Greaves
Imlach
Bowlers based on pitch...
Seales
Roach
Shamar
AlJo
Warrican
Sinclair
Motie
Anderson

I would prepare pitch, just like India and Pakistan..... turning from ball one of the test match... that' s best chance.... Further, drop down the order Brathwaite....

In reply to Onionman0

With all due respect…..you livin in fantasy land with these statements:

Ahead of whom? According to the selectors, DaSilva cyah even make the A team, and they dropped him altogether for the recently concluded Pakistan series, but he go make the test XI?



Since when are groundsmen in the region capable of preparing a pacy wicket, turning track, or a road on demand? When has that EVER happened here?

In reply to imusic

I heard that Silva asked leave from South Africa -A series..... Preparation camp starts 13 th June...... Silva surely integral part....

Holder should be in the squad...instead of Greaves

In reply to Slipfeeler

Mate, give it up. He man averages 16 in tests

In reply to anthonyp

Current form does count for something. 3 hundreds in 5 games means something

In reply to Onionman0

Thats not what i heard

In reply to brians_da_best

Really????

3 centuries...Hmmmm lets analyze.

2 in one games versus who again on a Batsman paradise?
That means nuttin.

How did he perform against Bim on a bowler's wicket?
The Bim bowlers are/were bad; however, the bowler's wicket was the X-factor
as it presented the closest thing to the Ozzies pacemen on any wicket.

Dasilva has not done enough to make this team as a batsman,
ahead of Anderson, Hodge, Carty, Jangoo, Athanaze or even Greaves.
Please remember that Hodge and Athanaze are in the setup, so they must be displaced.

I would not even mention keeping as that is a done deal.

But realistically, we know the selectors and consistently inconsistent and always surprising.
No method to their madness.
Hence Charles in the T20 squad/team and will probably make a fifty today
to remain selected and fail all series.

In reply to TanteMerle

Athanaze ? who can't get a run if it was offered free.. da silva was the second highest run getter in the fc tournament.

In reply to TanteMerle

Number two innings last four day with six matches ten innings and 583 runs

Has already proven at test level he can score big when really required

He is not playing simply because Sammy does not like him

That has already been established
