It's a curse. There are no options in domestic cricket who are remotely close to breaking the door down either. They're either too young (Carty) or have similar problems to Powell in that they get themselves out after a start all the time (Campbell).

I actually have quite a lot of hope for Ambris as a batsman. He does need a run. What does infuriate me though is that his strongest format is List A, where he is really dominant in both domestic and A team cricket. So they don't play him in any ODI's and push him for Tests instead.

Haha yeah Campbell's stats are a complete meme at the moment. Whenever I've gone and had a look at the domestic stats for top three batsmen in the region, the exercise has always simply left me feeling much less surprised that Devon Smith keeps getting recalled years after everyone had assumed his career was over. If he keeps playing it could keep happening into his forties.

I must say I'm quite looking forward to this series as long as the youtube river works. It'll be interesting to see what combo the West Indies go with, Holder being out upsets the team balance with respect to pace vs spin I feel (unless they go with six batsmen again) but Roach being back should add a bit of verve to the attack that was missing in India. As usual though WI's batting will be their biggest factor. Good to see Shakib back too. I wonder if Tamim will be back in time for the second test?

Not in contention, i.e., not playing FC cricket
I guess I am

I agree with you. He has all the shots and smacks the ball. He also played some excellent counter punching innings. He needs to learn how to consistently build an innings.
I wouldn't mind him opening tbh, I don't see what we have to lose compared to Powell.

Yep it isn't completely mad that Devon came back given those circumstances.
If you watch Campbell bat, even at A level, he looks the business. But he consistently gets himself out playing reverse sweeps and such like after a start. It's infuriating

He will be back in contention soon. WI need him.

Yes. Of course we need him. It's all on him to commit.
FC season resumes early next year

Oh ok. I knew he had missed some FC cricket, wasn't aware he had commitment issues.

63.7 km/h the wicket ball from Roach. Methinks the speedgun needs re-aiming.
