old school type test batsman with his patience an application shown ..this was a very impressive knock albeit on a great batting track....nevertheless yuh still gotta have the ability to cash in..... i see his ave is now mid 30's (Hooper an Samuels territory) so is on an upward curve......for me he possesses the best technique in the team look how he handled the short- pitched bowling which was superbly analysed by Mali Richards as opposed to others who looked distinctly uncomfortable....so hopefully onwards an upwards fuh him an later down who knows could become our test cappo.

What I am impressed with is his appetite to go on and make a big score. He already has three centuries from his first 16 test matches, including his unbeaten double hundred and this week's knock of 180. A very useful 4th/5th seamer option too and seems a man of good character.

A genuine international class all-rounder batting at six is a really strong building block.

Greaves is a classic type batter, it is good for the team that he bats on after making centuries, it was the first time he was dismissed after he passed fifty in the just completed match.

I always connect Greaves and Da Silva because they were both so impressive in that Academy team some years ago....but both have been hampered by being pitched as allrounders when batting was their real strength. Greaves is a useful change bowler who can swing the ball in the right conditions but his bowling should not be valued any higher than we valued say Gayle's offspin. Da Silva's keeping should be rated somewhere around the quality of Wayne Hinds glovework..... for emergency fill in only.

Both could bat higher up the order. But DaSilva in particular should batting for TnT, and ultimaately WI, at 3 - and abandon the gloves. He needs to adjust now before the door is closed on him
