Some players are better than their averages suggests talent wise , like take for example Alzarri Joseph , today was the first time he got a 5for in test cricket which is unbelievable considering the natural attributes he possess.

The difference is that Joseph has a good record in FC cricket to back up his obvious talents. At the moment its a "vibes" pick. Like Jansen at 7.

Lacks brains. It took him several years just to stop bowling everything from the edge of the crease and he still struggles to plan anything. Rather Jerome Taylor-eqsue in that regard.

Well he's West Indies best batsman in the match , before Reifer they had a no.3 called Nkrumah Bonner who has a terrible FC average but helped West Indies to a series win vs England ..Devon Conway had a terrible FC average at Franchise level ..He'd walk into our test side right now though , it's not always straightforward to look at stats and judge a player..maybe he played the majority of his fc career as a bowling allrounder , maybe he had issues that the coaching at domestic level couldnt fix , who knows..

Bonner isn’t great. Lucky to miss out on this series. Can’t play the short ball.

But I'm saying at the time , he had a fc average around 26..you don't expect a batsman of that quality to get two test hundreds ..He even got dropped from the Jamaican team at one point ..

Chase bats like someone trying to remember how to bat as he is in the middle. Just looks so uncomfortable.

151/3 I would say the game is 60/40 in SA's favorite, the last session yesterday was when SA lost the plot , can West Indies hold their nerve ? They do bat deep as Holder is probably the best no.8 in World cricket and Joseph is very decent aswell

He debuted not that long ago as a bowling allrounder at #8.

I really like him as a resourceful cricketer and I half-seriously suggested he open the batting in Tests pre-Tage, but yeah he shouldn't be batting 3. Gun utility, nothig more.

He was a vital cog with both bat and ball, in our FC team during the 5 years we won 5 consecutive regional titles.
