Louis would be a logical replacement for Kraigg Brathwaite.

The other player who hasn’t done well (despite fans displeasure with the manner of Soup’s dismissal) is Carty.

I would still keep the rest of the batting lineup as is for the 3rd test.

Agree..Carty is learning hard ways....Carty has proven to be very hardworking talented....I do differ with you regarding Greaves....he should be dropped for 3rd test... Anderson comes in as batting all rounder....Sammy should send a SOS to Holder...

Louis and Anderson should be in for the 3rd test for Braithwaite and Greaves.

There is already a batting allrounder in Chase. I don't see the need for a 5th seamer.

Yet it was Greaves that broke the Steve Smith, Travis Head partnership that until then, seemed impregnable.

Greaves is a very handy all round cricketer.

And I agree that Jason Holder is a better all rounder, but he’s not in the squad.

Replacing Greaves with Kevlon Anderson is not like for like. I have no knowledge of Anderson as being anything else but a specialist batter.

Maybe they might want to give Anderson a debut to see what he can do at this level given that the series is already lost.

By that reasoning, they should do the same Layne.

So who they replacing?

If Anderson comes in, it might well be for Kraigg, but that will mean a change in the batting order. Who will be the sacrificial lamb to accommodate this change? And is that fair to Louis who is a specialist opener?
