same as yesterday with the exception of Charles, an Shepherd.. .King in for Charles...Rutherford in for Shepherd.....so bowlers Shamar,Forde,Holder,Hosein,Motie an Chase ...batsmen Hope ,King,Hety,Powell an Rutherford...only variation could be Seales in for either Motie or Hosein....some of yawl might seh not having Shepherd weakens the batting but if 5 batsmen an 2 all rounders can't do the job i doubt if an extra batsmen will make much difference....if Shepherd plays he has to bowl an likely to concede more runs bowling than he makes batting..even for 1 over!!!

Forde is a better bowler than Shep who cracks under pressure... bowling is the problem we have enough batting to get the job done without Shep an i maintain he is more likely to concede MORE runs from his bowling than me makes with the bat .....he's ok for CPL an the like but out of his depth for internationals!

@CCW
Shepherd plays IPL and has experience in India plus Akeal & Motie are quicker than Forde but if he can get swing early on would be the only advantage for him!!!
