Reflects poorly on highly thought of coach Rayon Griffith.

Batting reflects poorly on highly thought of coach Floyd Reifer

New bowling coach Ravi Rampaul emerged from this test match with credit given the bowlers performance.

I suggest we all give this a chance. It is UNFAIR to judge the players after just ONE match. Let the SERIES play.

As Head coach then, Sammy scored 1 out of 3

I watched the first 2 days of the test match and told my friends who said that Sammy was a fraud, please give him his flowers and move on.
Sammy as captain won 2 WC if my memory is correct, he may be a clapper, but he was captain. As chief, he is not the batsman, bowler or a fieldman in the current team.
What I saw the 2 days of cricket is that Shai Hope is a good batsman, Carty has the goods to developing into a good batsman, KB cannot bat, and John Campbell was a better batsman at u16 than at 31 years old.
King has fast hands, but poor footwork.
Chase is a useful batsman; Greaves is not Jason Holder.
The bowling unit seems to be on target and should get better as the series go on. These are the comments from a guy that was at a test in donkey age

John Campbell was a better batsman at u16 than at 31 years old - Using "Campbell" and "batsman" in the same sentence is a crime
King has fast hands, but poor footwork - A very difficult assessment as king lasted 1 ball in the 2nd innings and was almost out 3 times in the 1st innings for 26 runs
Greaves is not Jason Holder - universal agreement
