apart from the fact that he can't bowl at all! why is Yohan Layne the leader of your attack?

Bim seems to have woken up finally. Maybe Mia sent an inspirational speech for them overnight?

How can you have Jediah Blades and still play McAllister ; color: rgb(4, 9, 33)">again.
; color: rgb(4, 9, 33)">Bim selectors so afraid to play the young players in their charge.
; color: rgb(4, 9, 33)">A bowling like up of say Warrican, Layne, Blades, Springer and Motara would be a handful for regional batsmen. But Bim selectors are so scared of their shadows to take a chance. Look Moseley, Chase, KB,
; color: rgb(4, 9, 33)">Mayers and said Warrican are still first call players with the WI in dire need of an infusion of youth.

Blades ,ramon simmons ,akeem jordan are far better than what they have now in this competition
Layne was very lucky to play for the wi. those tests in new zealand showed he has still a lot learn even at this level

You replaced Jair with Blades and add the leg spinner,who is not as good as Bishop.Jsir played because Simmons is deem unfit.

Blades or Simmons are better bowlers than Macalliter. Blades younger with less experience but have been an excellent bowler at this level already.
Warrican and Bishop is basically the same bowler just the difference in experience Warrican have. Motara is a young up and coming leg spinner who would offer variety as a right hander.

Simmonds is a better bowler than Jair, but I don't think that Blades is, but we shall see him next game, and Bishop is a much better bowler than Motara in my opinion who has problems with his control at the regional level just like Redwood and other young yardie leg spinner.
The game today proved nothing in terms of improving WI cricket, the track was too slow and dead. Young Kwick and Kirk should contact Omar Phillips and to see about playing in Aussieland to improve their game before moving to the test level.
