***Official*** West Indies Tour of Pakistan- TEST SERIES- Jan 16 to 28, 2025

fewer FC centuries between them btw than kraigg has test centuries. none of them have a history of opening either.

i get it, the west indies suck and the default is to make changes to the team but dropping kraigg makes you worse imo.
I get the point that we have noone better to select, but for me, this ignores the damage Kraigg and the grindball style of batting has done to our brand.

He has built a batting lineup in his image. They have no threat to the opposition, nothing to hit back with. It is horrendous viewing even for diehard West Indian supporters.

Don't underestimate the hope that including some whiteball talent in the test side has given supporters who just want to see some proper West Indian batsmanship again sometime soon.

I'm done with this batting lineup and no amount of logic will persuade me otherwise. It is what it is.

There is no perfect solution but doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting different results is... madness. This simply isn't working and I fail to see how the changes we're suggesting could be worse than what we've seen this year.

This is probably the most important thing to note. Our ODI setup is a well-oiled one-- more cohesive and better at identifying their weaknesses and work on it.

Then we have Kraigg being Kraigg.
