Williams: The elbow looks jerky form where I sit. Anyone else see it or is it just me?

 
robbo 2017-02-06 13:48:57 

Tino going on about Johnson and his lack of pace.... I remember him bowling really well against an Indian A side in the Caribbean about 4 years or so ago... he was about a yard and a half quicker then... no idea why he's lost so much pace.

It seems that the Trinidad batting revolve around Lewis.

Seems so for real,

Trinidad 214 all out. That might be enough to win. Teams are struggling to chase down anything over 200.

 
Cornfused 2017-02-06 16:40:45 

That wicket is trouble , I think. Good fightback from the Windwards.

Gabriel gets rid of Charles for five. With kraigg Lewis and Powell making runs it's time to close the door on Charles as a 50 overs player.

Why you all so cruel? Players lose form, get injured, fall out with the board, chose the IPL. As a young man Charles could work on his game perhaps he can return with a big season but to close the door suggests permanence.

In reply to voiceofreason

He's not young any more. He's 28 and hasn't improved. No foot movement. However he still has a future as a t20s player.

Devon Smith out for four. Gabriel gets his second wicket. Father time might have finally caught up with the 35 year old veteran.

 
voiceofreason 2017-02-06 17:38:10 

Devon Smith is quickly becoming a shadow of himself against the quicks. This is the worst season for him in recent memory.

It's surprising that a player could be so bad from one season to the next.

cool

 
granite 2017-02-06 19:42:56 

Nicely poised but is time fi go to bed coz is pass midnight,ah hope Shilly doh come out and start pelting some bat,(pun intended),he is a big hitter. cool

 
doosra 2017-02-06 19:45:03 

Heading for a nice gallop at the end

shilly could pelt bat

 
voiceofreason 2017-02-06 19:55:10 

In reply to doosra

Mayers could bat a bit. Forgot about him.

 
voiceofreason 2017-02-06 19:59:19 

Shilly, Matthew Johnson could all fling bat. Just need Ambris to anchor.

 
doublecentury 2017-02-06 20:00:23 

Shills has the 4th fastest test 50

But this ain't a test match
