by far your best batsman for the tour, brandon king, you put to open. kevlon anderson has made all his runs at#3 for guyana and you put him to open in his debut.

there were other options. shai hope is a veteran of 40 tests, he could have opened

This anti-Sammy behavior didn't start today. It pales in comparison to when he was Captain.

sammy deserves every bit of criticism he gets....he wasn't a player of international standard but was appointed captain....you don't expect people to just say ok

Shai Hope is the wicketkeeper and arguably our best batsman and you want him to open too?

And? firstly imlach has been wicketkeeper understudy before hope came into the team again. if sammy really wanted to emphasize hope's supposed run getting ability, he'd have had him in the outfield and given imlach the gloves. again another genius decision

Why was Imlach dropped? Did he under performed?

Sammy has benefited from having other carrying the load throughout his career as player and captain as a coach he also has nothing to show his credibility or merit his selection. You are just backing him base on where he is from. The truth is West Indies cricket has never been this low in any format.

Hope just kept for 70 overs.

It was unfortunate that the openers got injured. 2 batters had to open and it was king and Anderson
