00:01Having been beaten in three days in Barbados, the West Indies will be hoping to avoid defeat against Australia in the second test in Grenada.
00:08But it's going to be tough against a strong Aussie side come Thursday when the first ball is bowled.
00:13West Indies Pacer Shamar Joseph took nine wickets in game one in a losing cause.
00:17To make matters worse for the home team, Joseph has now been accused of sexual harassment.
00:22Cricket analyst Dr. Joseph Reds Pereira has his say on the matter ahead of the second test.
00:27Well, the first issue is the allegations against Shamar Joseph.
00:31He is innocent until proven guilty.
00:35And until he is charged by the Guyana authorities, I think the West Indies will play him in Grenada because of his ability to take Australian wickets.
00:51Beyond that, I do not know what's going to happen.
00:54Dr. Pereira is aware opener Craig Brathwaite has been in poor form with the Grenada match expected to be the Barbadians' 100th test.
01:01Due to a lack of openers, the veteran commentator wants to stick with Brathwaite for the next match.
01:06But what about opening partner John Campbell?
01:09And certainly in terms of who should be left out, I think John Campbell should be left out.
01:15And Brathwaite could open with King.
01:20Shea Hope made a return to the team after a long absence and played as a keeper batter who top scored with 48 in the first innings.
01:27Dr. Pereira also has concerns about the two functions being carried out by Hope.
01:32What will they do with Hope as keeper and batsman?
01:37And I feel that they should, in fact, bring in Imlas, allow Hope, save his tired legs and concentrate on batting.
01:47The St. Lucia-based analyst says Vice-Captain Jamel Warrickon makes no impact and should be excluded.
01:53The teams played three test matches, with the final one in Jamaica being a pink ball of fear.
