Nice to see Dowrich get runs too. I feel he is underrated. Made 70 on debut against a fierce Starc, Johnson and Hazlewood. Saved a test match with a 74 against India. Guided WI to their first major away win since 2009 with a 60*, and helped rescue WI from 5/71 with a 56 against Amir and Yasir Shah earlier this year.

Get Bravo and Hets into this side, and tweak the bowling a bit, and you have a good team to grow with.

Incidentally, I doubt the selectors will drop Powell for the final game. And Hets won't play for the international side, I think, until Powell is dropped and Kyle Hope is given a long run. The selectors will want a solid core before blooding yet another young newbie like Hets.

you really like Dowrich man.  I cud agree if Ramdin wasnt there.  he is a better keeper than Dowrich.  I don't think they will drop Dowrich anyway.  Skourtney isn't going back to Ramdin under any circumstance

and no..deh will not drop Powell for this last test here.  and Het left out for right now is nto a bad thing. he seems a tad not quite ready..another year shud set him right.

and I do think Kyle has had a long enough run....Pak, England, england.  he may have it like his brother I doh know.  I thought both of them were the pits until his brother scored.  but man fuh Kyle, how long is a long run fuh these guys.  Kyle has played in at least six straight test matches

Yeah, I like Dowrich's technique. I find something about his style very classical and serious.

I think you are mixing up Kyle and Shai. Kyle - the older brother - has only played in this test tour to England. Only two games. Shai, his younger brother, has played lots and lots of tests (about 23 innings), and has failed them all, other than his last twin centuries.

I think our domestic standards are so bad, that we have to stick with players internationally for about a year and a half, giving them time to fail and learn on the job. Paint debuted as a 19 year old and was terrible before he started making tons.
