Young batsmen only. Let the youngsters learn at university level. Worse case they’ll get bowled out for 27 and learn from it. I’m blooding Jewel Andrew right away…. Any other youngsters out there with prodigious talent? Bring them forward.

I’d rather play Kirk Mckenzie, Jewel Andrew, Teddy Bishop etc and get bowled out for 27… than to be getting bowled out for 27 with a bunch of grown men

The only way that will work is if we played Tier 2 cricket and learned to win!!!

The only issue is that it might lead to further embarrassment and deeper into the abyss!!!

It might work though. Holder was elevated because of the brinksmanship of the board president, who was just following his predecessors’ modus operandi. If the motive is truly to improve the standard of West Indies batting, then the methodology and strategies will be a lot different
