We must prevent a whitewash at all costs! We must fight like the Maroons, not just wear the maroon.

Tough decisions to make but I am against wholesome changes.

KB has played 100 test matches and I am afraid that for me he has played his last. First of all 32 plus average, then his woeful form and more importantly he does not subscribe to Sammy's positive approach. Thanks you KB for your service but this haunting melody of BOYZ 2 MEN classic is rining in my head" Now that we've come to the end of the road".

Warrican should come in for Anderson Phillip to allow for some more variety to the attack in the anticipation there will be some help for the spinners at Sabina.

I was flirting with dropping Carty but I think it is unfair to remove him after just coming back from a drop and only getting 4 innings. He did get two special dismissals in the last and has been asked on all 4 occasions to basically open the batting due to the failures of our openers. I have also looked at his ODI career and realized that he did not get his first 50 until his 14th Innings. He will play his 15th innings at Sabina. I hope Sammmy persists with him as I believe he will come good.

Greaves can do the seam bowling for Anderson and he is a better batsman.


Team for the 3rd Test:

Campbell
Louis
Carty
King
Hope
Chase
Greaves
Warrican
Aljo
Shamar Joseph
Seales

Sammy's record as West Indian Coach 23- 17. What is Coley's record?

You have to replace all 11 to be wholesome. Your 11 is spot on. I hope Sabina Lighting system, come through. Louis and Warrican, will be in.

our best bet to avoid a whitewash is to get Guyana Electricity Board to run the Sabina lighting system. Worked for the Warriors, why wouldnt it work for WI? Lolol

Yes but you sacrificing a batsman for a bowler when our batting has been a problem? Greaves does have a test century?

you come with the same old bullshit failures over and over again and hope to get deferent result, while the batters who actually performed in the first-class red ball season, can't get a look in, insanity seem to have taken a permanent seat beside every Caribbean cricket player and supporter

The only West Indies all rounder to be ranked no.1 after Sober.....still in top 10 in the ICC rankings.......No.7 despite not playing test for nearly last 2 years ....Sammy can bring anyone.... anywhere.... the most powerful Head Coach, West Indies ever had.....all victories...Sammy......all losses....Sammy...8 tests...6 more tests to prove himself....

Although,I still criticize his appointment.....but I am fully supporting his methods....

Chase is already the spinner; no need for Warrican. Bring in Imalch or Anderson!

Chase is an offspinner, Warrican is a left arm orthodox. Two different options there Bro.

D/N test matches are generally dominated by pace bowlers, with spinners playing little more than back-up roles, at most.

Layne, with his height and movement, should debut. Anderson might as well play too, along with Imlach who should never have been left out after his performance in Pakistan and then, the regional season.

Leave Layne out of this. His time will come. The bowlers are doing a good job.

Before idiots like Dijonstarted shooting their backside, why they couldn’t have a trial night game at Sabina, then questioned Dave, about destroying WI, cricket.

No need to change bowlers from the last match.

They are doing excellent!
