The cupboard is empty and empty. And there is no chance or hope that this will change. Cricket is dead or dedd in the West Indies. It was great while it lasted. It remains now only to allow the owners to travel first class and stay in 5 star hotels and for those who still play to be able to eat a food.

I honestly feel that we could do with a Josh Da Silva and Jason Holder back in the line up, the latter is able to give more runs and wickets than Greaves and is the only player to average close to 30 after the departing Brathwaite.

Also, Imlach and Jangoo had promising starts, why not give them another chance? Can Da Silva re-invent himself as an opener?

Opener
Da Silva
Anderson/Hope/Carty
King
Jangoo/Athanaze/Rutherford
Imlach
Holder

So why not try the one player who has already proven himself just last year that he capable of handling the Australian bowlers? No need to reinvent the wheel.

Average of 16.91 from 6 matches. Nah he needs to work on his game and give someone else a try.
