Please get our better batsmen into the test team and stop talking nonsense about Red Ball and white ball players. For example, Hetmyer and Sherfane Rutherford are simply better batsmen than Kraigg and Campbell in any form of cricket.

I agree re Rutherford. Hetmeyer has not showed any ability to spend time at the crease.

We gave Kraigg a hundred test matches.. let’s give Hetty a 10 test match run and see what happens.

this test match thing is about grit, thinking and adapting on the spot together with preparation. Hope is lacking one or more of these qualities. I can't back Hetmyer for test right now.

You backing Kraigg? Why is Kavem Hodges not playing? Isn’t Mikhyle Louis a better bat than John Campbell? What are we doing here?

Hetmyer is a failure at test level,
Good test players tend to make good limited over players but good limited over players don't always make good test players
Our natters need to face 500 balls a day in the nets for 6 months

I am a bit more cautious, when there is not field restrictions and your defence is questioned constantly, nothing is guaranteed.


I trying to call Sammy next Test play 10 bowlers and a wicketkeeper. lol they going make more than this team.

We should be taking a page from India and England. Their test players play all for formats.
This is one of the reasons Chris Gayle with always be remembered

Actually
I don’t see Athanaze performing at any levels below this lot
Athanaze and Kirk MacKenzie and probably Rutherford
