HOLDER TO LEAD TEST TEAM FOR INDIAN TOUR

I agree on Brathers and Holder and in fact I think Brathers is a bit undercooked just now to make attest debut.

The team against India seems quite unbalanced with little specialist spin which means Bishoo, will once again, be overbowled.

I do not think it is a very good team but interested to see how they do but as you said, Holder as an opening bowler suggests a weak attack, much like Ramdin batting at 5.

How can one just look at averages and not look at current performances. Browne is contradicting himself because Samuels has a 33 career average which is below poor for a front line batsman. My question is why wasn't he dropped.

Trini posed the very same question in the shoutbox today. Can Brathwaite and Holder play in the same side?

Yes. Sammy and Bravo did.

Sammy and Holder also.

Sammy now have a stadium named after him.

No and it will soon be exposed because they are not good enough. Holder's main game as a bowler has gone backwards, if he has a flat pitch he will do ok (like most of us) as a batsman.

CB? The boy has not had time to develop, an abject failure in the IPL so you promote him to the test team of useless all rounders...

Unproven but I am sure we wish them well.
