We Bowled well, Fielded poorly and Batted sans

Application.

The Post mortem aint that difficult here folks.


Their Top order has issues too

They dropped several too..

The difference today was those 2 partnerships the Ozzies had


The match was close until we had to bat ....

KB - stick a fork

Campbell - Warmed over soup

King- playing like he aint sure what to do


Warrican...still aint reach


The others fought.


In spite of the piss poor umpiring...we had to bat today- we did not.


end of report.

I want to how the Great Hope will fear batting at 3 or 4!

Intentional?

Fair assessment.

We have to stick with the same squad for another Test. The reality is that most of the batsmen struggled on this pitch but Grenada is normally a batting friendly surface so let us give the Batsmen another chance. Jomel Warrican's position is questionable as he was underbowled and did a lousy job as a nightwatchman.

Still stick with the XI but if we do lose Shamar that will be a huge blow. Anderson Phillip may get a shot.

If Shamar doesn’t play, I’d like to see Layne play ahead of Anderson Phillips.

One would think Phillips is a senior player, he has more experience etc and I’ll be thrilled for him if he makes his debut……but he’ll be more or less like Jayden pace wise, just less effective. Layne has more pace.

I won’t begrudge Phillip being selected though.

As for replacing Warrican, yes that should happen and I’m good with either Imlach or Anderson replacing him.

In reply to voiceofreason

I am hoping that the mess…is just mess…but I may be in denial re Shamar.

See your point on his replacement.

Thing is…Bowling Team is good.

It’s the lack of experience in TEST cricket that hurt us…HEAD, had good support from only 2 others and it was enough to split the difference with the bat against us.

Too many of our bats FAILED.

Campbell stupid shot really pissed off the fans - KB is a shadow of himself when opening- KING is not confident and we all know when you drop catches as he always has…it impacts everything …haunts you and ticks off the team.

I suspect you are correct though…They may very well keep the team as is-

That would be the mature thing to do…in the midst of us fans braying and bellyaching.

lets see what Sammy and Selectors say
