Okay, how can the West Indies build on their 1-1 draw with England?
Replacing Gayle is clearly still a problem...Devon Smith hit most runs in the PCL, and couldn't match Kraigg Brathwaite as opening partner. So, how can we expect his Windwards opening partner, Tyrone Theophile, to do better? Surely, Theophile should be allowed to go through the A team, and build his confidence, before throwing him to the wolves, the way we foolishly did with Shai Hope. And surely it's time to abandon the foolish policy of converting middle-order batsmen into openers....
Except maybe Leon Johnson, who has opened for Guyana on occasion in the past....
Will Gayle even be available to play in the two Tests, or will he more likely don Somerset colours in their T20 competition?
That said, does the WICB have any plans for the A team this summer? Or has the BCCI lawsuit left them so cash-strapped that A team tours have been abandoned?
Will this be Shiv's last series? Should Holder bat at six or seven, to allow the Windies to play two spinners and two more pacers? And what about Roach's loss of pace since his return from injury?
Nobody has a stance quite like the mighty Shivnarine....
