Hope drops one off his bowling which would have been a great catch ball going towards first slip. then the next ball takes an edge and goes to...FIRST SLIP.
Holder fails to put one in.

Holder Seems Dunce Bad ...
In reply to Raggs
Chance missed already i guess...I've always felt putting a slip in after the chance has gone is only to appease the commentators
That second edge was deliberate it looks like, not a genuine edge like the first.
In reply to Raggs

Give it a rest.
You all blowing it out of proportion.
You all some miserable facters here.
"seems"
The guy is a square peg in a round hole! Both him and Carlos.

He is now getting a pasting at the death. He is not a death bowler but he is captain so he can tek the ball whenever he wants
Terrible captaincy towards the end
In reply to Runs
Carter. Oh my God
In reply to Runs
Let it all run away at the end..Gabriel should not have bowled out..to leave him and Aljo.
Did so well for around 35 overs.
Man calculated that he can bowl the last 2 overs back to back to get in his 10 until he realised that is against the rule.....
In reply to DIEHARD
If he had bowled Carter more in the middle and he got licks ya'll would say he release the pressure.
He tried to squeeze the Pakistan batsman by keeping his best bowlers on... Pakistan batted well.
Can't please ya'll.
In reply to Gun_Play
Carter wasnt needed at all.
My suggestion...Aljo should have bowled out earlier, he is naturally more attacking and more expensive than Gabriel.
Can't cuss too much with trying to use Nurse to keep the pressure on, but I think THAT is where HE the skipper needed to step up, and take over from Nurse, and keep the pressure on.
Nurse took a bunch of wickets bowling at the death in the last game, The Pakistani's decided to see him off..think they calculated it was nothing but sweetbread after Nurse bowled out ..
Holder backed himself into a corner..hopefully he learns quickly from this..he started out promisingly this game, so that gives some hope..but the way we gave them back the momentum.worrying
What have Jason & Carlos done to be the captain of WI teams?
WICB or anyone please try to help me rationalize these confusing selections?
In my opinion they would NOT even make the team. They among others should take time to work on developing their game.
THIS WICB NEEDS SOME PEOPLE WITH BRAIN & COMMON SENSE!!
Coming from a good bowler at U19 Holder has regressed . He was a chubby teenager that took three steps at most to bowl around the same speed he is running in now . He swung the ball from those few steps.
We used to complain that Darren Sammy did not merit selection , but he was better than Jason Holder with the ball and bat . Sammy as leader was certainly above both Carlos and Holder. Why are they captains ask the Chairman of Selectors , Courtney Brown.
In reply to DIEHARD
I don't agree.
At 190s for 5 you give the ball to your fastest and best bowler.
You don't keep him back for death bowling. If he gets a breakthrough the inning could be over quickly.
Holder tried that an it didn't pay off.
Keeping your best bowlers back is defensive cricket. I thought ya'll wanted Holder to be more attacking...

Aljo has a better SR than Gabriel..and has taken a 4 fer...the best Shannon has managed is a 3-fer.
The better chance of taking a wicket..the more attacking bowler is Aljo..thats why u give him the ball at 190-4, and not Gabriel, also considering that if Gabriel is introduced..and doesnt take wickets..Aljo is fodder at the death.
Try again..
you like the skipper..not really paying attention
In reply to DIEHARD
You're not paying attention.lol
When your captain you don't go by stats.
Gabriel is my best bowler on the day so I give him the ball and tell him get me a wicket.
I'm on top of the opposition, I'm not thinking about who will bowl at the death.
I need my best bowlers on to bowl the team out.
It didnt happen but it's a gamble you must take.
That's how I see it.
In reply to Gun_Play
We can agree to disagree...I didn't see Gabriel as heads and shoulders above the rest..as the best on the day.
Just based on the nature of the two bowlers..Aljo is more aggresive, always looking to take wickets, which is why he so expensive.
Gabriel has become that patient 4th line, odd bouncer bowler in ODIs..i would have bet on Aljo..not Gabriel, we jus reading the game differently.
But at least we both agree..attack was the way to go, we jus disagree on who should have been doing it
In reply to azadtnt
So true - it is time for the world's most unimaginative, most uninnovative, most unmotivating captain to GO. His exit is well overdue. Not to mention, the guy is one of the laziest in the team during practise sessions, which does not bode well as Captain of a continuously losing side
Where is the pride captaining the great West Indies (or at least even TRYING to bring it back to great). Time to GO!
In reply to Judgement
I have also observed his laziness and total lack of motivation; he has limited talent perhaps suitable for first class cricket but nothing beyond that; he is perpetrating a fraud as a test, odi and t20 West Indies cricketer (let alone captain) courtesy of the worst Indies cricket board.
In reply to outside_edge
Perfectly said. He was a part timer (at best) in the West Indies set up when the Worst International Cricket Board in the world gave him the job of Captain. He would not warrant a place in that team if he wasn't Captain and his record as Captain is atrocious so he is taking up the spot of someone that really deserves to be in the team. It is time for him to go and its time for us to start grooming a new, more energetic, more motivated, more proactive, less lazy, lead-from-the-front type of personality for the role.
In reply to Judgement
Like who? Powell? Stups holder is the best they have for now. He's more experienced and more dependable than the former baseball/cricket player. And certainly less confused
In reply to Judgement
u want to switch,
Who are the all-rounders that are better than Holder in the WI , and post data to show it if you are that smart.
In reply to Raggs
A captain makes 100's of decisions in a game. He's bound to get some wrong.
In reply to CricketLuva4
not the obvious ones tho
I am a big critic of Holder but recently on tactics he has shown improvement.
What he should have done was to try with Mohammed in the middle when Nurse was keeping things tight. Two overs from Mohammed would have given you more room later on and you wouldn't have to be forced to experiment with Carter at the death.
Willow now showing cricket in muti-colors, the game is bump for IPL
In reply to analyst-kid
spot on, an obvious miscalculation or gamble on his part..he didnt even need JMo..he should have bowled himself at that point to keep the pressure on.
Nurse has had success at the death...Holder hasn't
In reply to tc1
You hit the nail on the head for me. Judgement don't seem to have interest in anyone but Powell and Powell is nowhere close to Holder in terms of talent and skill. Not saying that Holder is the best eh but he's the best they've got for now.
