I said this once and I'll say it again; it was selfish of both player and board to continue to pursue 100 tests even though Brathwaite's record is poor and has been poorer of the more recent. Playing 100 test for this player was more important than doing what was best for the team. If anybody has a business and you have an employee which is underperforming, are you going to keep him or her around just for sentiment even though you're losing both profit and productivity, the answer is no. What ever happened to Kyle Mayers who averages 32.70 with the bat across 18 matches with 210 being his highest on debut against Bangladesh in Bangladesh with spinning conditions. At least you would have someone who could actually beat the shine off the ball with his aggressive playing style before getting out. This would in turn allow for the middle order to not become exposed to the new ball but a relatively beat up ball that has lost its shine. What happen to N Bonner who averages 38.20 across 15 matches with the highest score of 123. Both of these individuals have 2 hundreds to their names. We are not fielding our best batsmen in the region. We are fielding teams based on partiality and I dear say a fair bit of cronyism as well.

Sarwan and gayle virtually had their test careers ended for less than kraigg's talentless-induced incompetence(yes i know gayle came back but he was nowhere as good as before he was exiled in test cricket). lets not pretend is the rewarding of talentless servants that has us in the position we are in and kraigg aint the only one.

Cannot argue with that.
