27 is throwing shit at the wall

Seeing what sticks

And calling it strategy.

How else to explain these decisions?

Opening with Jewel Andrew and forkane Kevlon Anderson?

Selecting Warrican as vice captain and having to drop him after 1 match.

Selecting Roston Chase as captain

Recalling Johnson Charles

Selecting Tage Chanderpaul

Giving Layne a test debut while leaving Phillip on the bench

Continually setting up young players to FAIL

Keeping Floyd Reifer and Raton Griffith as coaches despite abysmal performances in both their areas of responsibility.

Those are the most glaring.

What data did 27 and team use to come up with these decisions?


Take Layne. No problem to give him exposure.

But 2 of your senior bowlers got injured. He’s a replacement. You immediately send him to open the bowling with 1 senior bowler and a part timer as seam bowling support, against arguably the best batting team in the game, in their home conditions.

What the actual fork????
