Tonito is a man who could have benefitted from the USD 2,000.00 per month retainer introduced last year. Can you imagine how much better off he would be if he had been getting the USD 2,000.00 per month for the 12-16 years he played for the Leewards?
Wavel Hinds for man of the year!

Good move to bring in Willett! Handy bowler and batsman with loads of experience. Jacques Taylor and Akeem Saunders have been disappointments. Bonner will be missed but Carty and Otto get a chance.
My team to take the sting out of the Scorpions:
Kieran Powell
Otto
Montcin Hodge
Chesney Hughes
Keacy Carty
Jahmar Hamilton
Willett
Cornwall
Walsh Jr
Gavin Tonge
Alzarri Joseph

Noticeable omission from your 11 is Rakeem Cornwall....
That has to be an oversight

Was thinking the same thing. Also, Hodge is having a fantastic year opening the innings so why move him to three?

I agree I would stick with the opening combination.
Would Carty be effective at 3?

Oh a big omission that.
I understand why Fivestar is questioning my Montcin Hodge at 3 but here is why. Montcin Hodge has played 6 innings so far, 2 at position # 3 and 4 as opener. He has performed well in both positions and was only made to open as Keacy Carty failed in the first game. Now we have a young opener in Otto why are we forcing our best in form batsman after Hammie to open?
Your best/ most in form batsman should bat at 3.
Hodge 8,53*
8,114
76,22

Yes we do in Powell/ Otto/ Hughes/Carty/Hodge. Powell needs to utilize Hughes' bowling unless he has an injury.
