If Paint is Done, open with King...

King can open the batting...

He has done so in both White Ball formats...

Confident technique will go a ways to promoting a more sturdy Windies batting attack, especially if you insert Hope or Rutherford at #4

Hope is fine right where he is.

In reply to natty_forever

As is King

Find another 2 Openers. Graffiti done and Campbell should never be there.

In reply to Khary9

I think that could work ; bring in Anderson and have Hope at 4 with Imlach
the wk. Maybe for the D/N Test ???.
Would be tough to ask a newcomer to debut in such a Test. But...

What do we have to lose.

In reply to Scar

True. We keep forgetting like the wk opening is a specialist position.

In reply to hubert

1. Campbell (barely hanging on based on his 40)
2. King
3. Carty or Kevlon (want to see Carty work it out)
4. Hope
5. Chase
6. Imlach (wk)
7. Greaves or Kevlon or Carty
8. A. Jospeh
9. S. Jospeh
10.Johan Layne (See if the youngster has learned)
11. Seales

A test...either way but one waycould be battered confidence of a debutant.

In reply to natty_forever



Nothing that we have not lost already.

In reply to Khary9

Why the haste to discard Phillip? I do not find that he bowled badly.

4 slips and a gully?!?!?!!!

Hahahahahaha woi!

In reply to natty_forever

Hope is a protected species in this WI setup.

They prefer to throw poor Jewel Andrew under the bus than put Hope to open, in a position where he has performed best, by some distance, in international cricket.

Hope bats where HE wants.

Nuh boddah wit de spin that he “sacrificing himself” to bat lower down to give others a chance to bat in their favoured positions.

Bullshit to de max with that one.
