How many times has Lewis got out to this shot

I remember his getting out many many times. He needs to shelve that shot. It is more detrimental than useful..

He don't bat with sense, he just hit ball. Only two man outside the circle, you get a long hop and u hit the ball straight to one of the only two fielder in the deep. Just because it's a bad ball don't mean you have to try hit it for six. Why create risk where there is none?

Lewis is a huge talent but lacks maturity. And the useless West Indies set up means he won't receive the correct support to tame him into an intelligent cricketer that can curb his wild hitting. He is a bit like an older Hetmyer. He would need to spend some time in County cricket or with the Indians to learn to tame himself and to display more situational awareness.

Lewis is NOT an intelligent cricketer period. Do not blame WICB
for his lack of common sense.

He has some talent but he is not a huge talent.

Hugely talented cricketers play very intelligent cricket

He was going good when he hoicked a short ball to Square leg. When a fielder is placed there for this shot of his, he should refrain from that. Be he hoicks every short all without thinking about the field placement
