The problem is that the game is played in the middle,and not on paper.

The top order is woefully out of form. Devon Smith is having one of his worst seasons in recent memory and I believe his eyesight is getting worse and his reflexes slower. He is getting beat regularly for pace. Charles, Theophile and Fletcher are all struggling as well. Ambris is very consistent and by far their best batsman but by the time he comes in they are 20/3 or 20/4. Sebastien is a passenger.

Bowling is decent to contain but no real strike bowlers. Hodge has been their best bowler this LIST A season and he is a part-timer.

I would take Deo over Sebo any day. He did not even make the 14. He would have been handy in this game.
Liam Sebastien
Andre Fletcher
Devon Smith
Tyronne Theophille
Johnson Charles
Kaveem Hodge
Sunil Ambris
Dareen Sammy
Kyle Mayers
Delorn Johnson
Audi Alexander
Shane Shillingford
Keswick Williams
Mervin Matthe

Was a replacement named for Sammy?

You'd get overs from him and runs in middle. Your middle order needs work.

Lil currency showing some progress

Lil currency averages 49.72 in LIST A. What we need is another decent middle order bat. DEO would have been a good pick.

the problem with windwards is that charles, theophile, fletcher, smith are all openers that have to play in the top 4. It surprising that Sunil making runs? He is a middle order batsman. Only 3 of charles, fletcher, smith and theophile should be playing. #4 and #5 is a specialist spot.

That is one of the many problems. Need a strike bowler, a middle order batsman and a batting all rounder. Ambris should have done better to take charge of the situation. He should not have exposed Kesrick like that. Anyways well played by him.

Man that LBW against Sebastian was a horrible decision. The top four can't buy a run
