Phillip will play instead of Pierre, it was reported that the pitch has a green top. the position up for debate is the #3 position, I am not convinced that Anderson is ready for Test cricket, so I will go with Athanaze.

The type of wicket also matters but he can play ahead of Layne

Greaves before Anderson in the final XI. Other than that I like your team. Dont know why Tage plays before Campbell but agree that you can flip a coin between the two of them. One will be a fast 25 the other will be a slow 25.

@PalsofMine

Seriously? Tage more likely to succeed, however, I am looking at Campbell's recent innings. Gets into the 30s and gives it away.

Hoping they can weather the storm.
