@TanteMerle

firstly we need two openers who we can at least get 50 runs from. More importantly, we need them to get the shine off the new ball. Hope cannot be coming in with us facing a still new cherry with nothing on the board. One of those openers has to have the license to attack. Hit the bowlers off their lines. Get the shine off the ball. The next opener has to get out this insecurity and Kraigg induced habit of just defending. Rotate the strike. That not that difficult to do. If you reach 50 without loss, the bowlers start to lose confidence and batting becomes a little easier

If all rounder means he can neither bowl nor ball, then JHo fits the bill

Greaves should hold down the all rounder pick in test cricket for awhile

Hope

Imlach as keeper and cappo

Seales

S Joseph

after that throw the names in a hat and pick

@Jumpstart

Braffit and Tage should never see Windies cricket test team again.

Josh is a better option for opener than Brafft.

Why not have josh as an openner and play another keeper.

Not sure about Imlach as cappo,

although Chase seems not up to the challenge.

Captaining Windies is a poison chalice.

The team for now (if i had to pick)

  1. Campbell
  2. Josh
  3. King
  4. Hope
  5. Chase
  6. Greavs
  7. Imlach
  8. Mootie/Warrican/Cucaracha
  9. S. Joseph
  10. A. Joseph
  11. Seales

Reserves

  1. Phillips
  2. Wickham
  3. Two of the Mootie/Warrican/Cucaracha combo.

Spinning wicket Mootie/Warrican

Fast wicket Cucaracha

Now this is my pick at present.

There are still 3 games to go,

I have Chase in because he is the cappo.

My pick is not who is deserving, but who I think Scammy will pick.

Remember that this is subject to change with injuries and results from last 3 games.
