Feel free to add your opinions here.

Strategy:

Scammy seems to be thinking and I give hm credit.

Leaving Roach out for 2 younger pacers. (good decision)

Use of Bishop in the games (better to start him in spinning pitches)

1st test selection. I was surprised to see Tage in. He is not a batsman.

Despite scoring a fifty, I don't think Tage belongs in the squad.

Decision of Dasilva is fair, but Dasilva needs to work on his foot movement.

Wickham was a surprise to me, luckily he had a batting wicket.

Injuries forced changes in 2nd game 11. Good job Scammy.

Individual performances:

Subpar by some, but great by most.

Enough solid performances to win the series.

Fielding and wicket-keeping was very poor.

Jangoo needs to learn to stay low and stop raising early in keeping.

Bishop needs some serious work with his use of crease etc.

Summary:

I am one of Scammy biggest critics, but...

He seems to be crafting a good team culture

Although some questionable squad choices,

He's picking a good nucleus of:

1. Opening pair
2. Wicketkeeper(s)
3. Spinning core
4. Back-up squad members
5. Pacers

I am willing to trust the process and extend his probation (that I set).

While I do not understand the selection of Tage, I can agree with most picks.

Keep improving team.

Scammy is going in the right direction in impressing me.

I would have sat Bishop for Roach. It was hardtop maintain pace pressure with just two Frontline pacers. It is that pressure that gets wickets. Chase and Warrican are sufficient to apply spin pressure.

I am very happy with the results and our performance

You are late to the party. Anybody could have seen this last two years how Sammy was crafting this team together and developing a winning culture. I always knew this year would be the year for us to produce some results and we did.

The players have all subscribed to the primary objective of rising to the top of the test rankings. Most of them signed retainers which shows their commitment to the objective.
