When do we decide if somebody deserves to be left out?
If they have a bad run over six Tests? Ten Tests? 20 Tests?

Let's agree to disagree.

Fair enough.

Would they have done the same with Lara?

IIRC, didn't his career end in slightly dubious circumstances?

Run out by a man with match fixing ties?

He scored 3 centuries (2 of them in his last series) and 2 fifties (and a 49) in 2006. When did he lose form?

Lara retired on his own terms. Not sure what they are referring to.

Whatever it takes!!!
Lara was asked to retire on his own terms as he was going to be dropped otherwise...

Replaced by a keeper bat so he pissed someone in the team off.

Keeper is still next best batting option though, isn't he?
Yeah, indeed.
Shiv was dropped so they could move Hope to the middle order anyway, it just didn't eventuate. Then they realised they had no half-decent openers (had Theophile or Johnson made scores in the tour match, they probably would have been in) so brought in another middle order bat.

Dowrich playing really makes this decision indefensible, tbh. I could sort of get it if it was to get Hope away from opening, but they brought in another middle order bat so he opened anyway. I'm just not buying that Dowrich is better than Chanderpaul.
