Greaves will be the next captain...

No doubt about it at least in tests....Chase hanging on by thread he banked a few points with his daddy100 against Sri Lanka after 21 inns without a 50 but this dude is patently not a good batsman...gets out the same way repeatedly, plays everything off the back foot even good length balls that he should be playing forward to....his off spin can be useful at times ..he doesn't have a captains instinct an makes some his puzzling decisions at times....only a matter of time before they surely have to give it to Justin who is solidly embedded in the team!

Thought Josh was suppose to be Windies future cappo. But due to Scammy F-ing around with line-up, it's difficult for him to cement a place in the team...

Josh brought his exclusion on himself, he has been around long enough to be a better w/keeper than he is. The most frustrating thing when playing cricket is to have a w/keeper who drop catches that he should catch. However, they should not burden Greaves with the captaincy yet, maybe they could have Josh as captain, but he should play only as a batter.

Either Greaves or Josh, both show leadership qualities and players seem to respect both of them.

Chase to me viewing has absolutely nothing that a leader needs.

Slumped shoulders, no supporting bowlers, no geeing up the fielders, I could go on.

Unfortunately Hope is similar and I think it is unfair to ask him to keep winning wicket, his second innings display showed that.

@Conorboy

In complete agreement.... both Chase an Hope are very passive.....only problem with Josh is his keeping an can he keep his place ....an is his batting alone good enough to make the team!!

Bring back Holder and let him captain until we develop a young, capable captain who makes the playing 11 on merit
