That is a reasonable decision too.

@voiceofreason

This is the only logical move.

they cannot play 3 Keepers.

@Edrich

the question is whether they play 3 players who can keep but 2 of whom are played only for their batting. The same way that you would not refuse to play a batsman who can turn his arm over because you already have an allrounder in the side.

For me, you ideally want Hope and Jangoo as your premier middle order batsmen. Both Hodge and Greaves have scored intermittently in the past but neither scores runs consistently as can be seen from their averages, i.e. their mode scores which are generally under 20. Silva had a horrid time behind the stumps in the first innings but the question is whether that was an aberration or whether it deserves a drop after one game so that you can bring in a half batsman (i.e either Jangoo or Hope keeping)

@CCW

I maintain my position. Josh is a liability with gloves in hand. If this was a better team like India or Australia we would be chasing 500.

You need to Hope at 4, Jangoo drops to 6.

@Edrich

Yes indeed and if you are going to play three keepers at least give the gloves to the one that would be least likely to make simple errors.

@InHindsight

Hope is the incumbent and did not play due to injury. Now he is fit, he should play considering he has scored 2 centuries in his last 5 innings.

@hubert

I hear you historian, but I think that Hope is the better bat and now seems to be hitting his best form in red ball.
