Why Chase and Not Hope Now......

http://www.espncricinfo.com/west-indies-...22589.html

Quote:Amit Mishra's figures of 4 for 67 and Shai Hope's unbeaten 118, an innings that featured 15 fours, highlighted the second day of the Indians' drawn warm-up match against West Indies Cricket Board President's XI in Basseterre.

After India declared overnight on 258 for 6, Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed captain Leon Johnson for 2 in the seventh over of the day. However, Rajendra Chandrika and Hope got together to share a 122-run second-wicket stand to stabilise the Board President's XI.

Mishra sparked a middle-order collapse by having Chandrika stumped for 69 and Jermaine Blackwood was caught behind off the next ball. A score of 129 for 1 quickly turned to 177 for 7 as the Indians made regular breakthroughs in the last two sessions.

Hope, though, found an able ally in left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican, who compiled a brisk half-century. Hope and Warrican combined for a 104-run partnership before the game was drawn.

All of India's seamers - Bhuvneshwar, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma - bowled at least 13 overs each. The Indians next play a three-day warm-up game against the same opposition starting July 14 on the same ground.

Because Chandrika more than likely will be forming many partnerships :

that 122 above is just a warm up of more to come

Ooooppss...You responding to this announcement

Roston Chase in for West Indies, Ramdin out.

In: Roston Chase, Leon Johnson

Out: Miguel Cummins, Shai Hope, Denesh Ramdin, Kemar Roach,

                  Jerome Taylor, Jomel Warrican

Dowrich will take over keeping duties

it seems to me that givens Hopes 118 not out, and the test experience he has had so far, that he is the one to have been included not Chase. 

they need to give Hope one more chance to try recoup on the Hope investment...if Hope scores.  and he did!

anyhow

Braithwiate
Chandrika
Darren
Samuels
Chase/Johnson
Blackwood
Dowrich
Holder
Braithwaite
Bishoo

2 Guyanans, 2 Tittys, 2 Yardys..5  Baje

Too many Baje : Guyana beat them in the 4 day last couple years !

I want back Johnson and Fuda on the XI.

Guyana as Champions deserve the 4 picks : Chandrika Fuda Leon and Bishoo.
