@velo

this is great news. Happy for him. Is that Anderson Phillip I see sweating in the corner? Lolol. This second test may actually be a good opportunity to rest Roach and AlJo, who has now played back to back red ball matches, and give Keemo and Phillip an opportunity to show their wares

626 isn't the beast that he is being made out to be. You must agree

I do not mind giving Keemo an opportunity, but I am puzzled by his inclusion now.

Why wasn't he in the fifteen to start with?

If Hope is still active, I do not see the reason for picking Keemo, since he is not going to replace Greaves.

Kemo is cover for Kemar Roach in case Roach can’t go.

Just like what they did in India and New Zealand, the substitute / replacement player may well be selected to the starting XI ahead of the player that was originally named to the squad.

Watch de proceedings

Potential 2nd Test starting XI

Campbell

King

Hodge

Hope

Jangoo

Greaves

Chase

Paul

A. Joseph

S. Joseph

Seales

We keep resting players or replacing 34 averages with 33 averages and pretending we is Oz or India, as we kilketay down the world rankings

Nothings wrong if they go with Keemo ahead of Phillips.

He's a better batsman, bowler and fielder.

But don't get worked up bro.. Roach will play.

You should worry about them dropping Seales or Shamar for the specialist VC 😂

@anthonyp

sometimes this board amazes me. I am a Keemo fan but to say he is a better bowler or fielder than Phillips is simply not supported by the facts and one of the catches of the century that Phillips took last year or the raw stats from this year's FC.
