The entire Caribbean is on Chase shoulders. I prefer to see him trying to form the strike than to see Gabriel facing the first ball of an over then get out

Forming the strike
I'm surprised I didnt see more posts about this. I was confused as to why Chase put so much trust in the tail-enders. Even in the over that Gabriel had a brain fart there was a single to be taken and they refused. Even the commentator said it looks like Chase thinks its the best option for Gabriel to be facing Yasir...
To be clear, I'm not blaming Chase but he needed to assume the responsibility.
In reply to Timpy... I AM NOT SURPRISED, AS HE DID "FARM" IT QUIET WELL imho. CAAN HELP IF YOU PARTNER DUNCE!
In reply to anadayardi... he did, and the Angel's Brain Fart undid all his planning.
In reply to anadayardi
Lol. Good thing you not blaming him.
In reply to Timpy
Fix your spelling nuh. If you misspell a basic word twice it casts doubt on the merit of anything you say thereafter.
In reply to natty_forever
how come he didnt farm when Bishoo was batting?
There are different ways to farm and it is not simply about 'taking a single off the last ball just to face the first of the next over'.
He had already recognized that Angel was handling Shah even more competently than other batters. Playing Amir and Abbas would have been problems. Actually this was explained by commies and Chase handled it correctly.......well until the last ball.

His spelling is correct according to the region in Jamaica from which he hails.

In reply to Discourse... correction:
In reply to JahJah
JahJah, I'm older than you are, and in addition I'm from the deep Jamaica countryside, after which I spent some 8 years or so living in the Kingston area. I've never heard those two words (form; farm) used interchangeably.
In reply to Drapsey
In SweMaica, they are interchangeable..

In reply to natty_forever
thx
In reply to Drapsey
It doesn't matter how much older than me you are because I have a grandmother in her 90s and she has used it...and has done so to this day.
I've also heard many others use it....as well as fawming...and faaming.
That's thing with patois and why translating English into (standard) patois (the Bible for example, as they were proposing) isn't really a good idea...or really doable.
I was joking about Timpy himself because I don't know where he's from. However, Jamaicans do do/say it.
In reply to Andy99
lol. You have no clue.
Drapsey has his experiences. Others have theirs.
Know this for next time, prento.
In reply to JahJah
Cool, JahJah.
In reply to Drapsey
Don't you have a grandmother older than Jahjah's that knew the difference between farming and forming?
In reply to Khaga
JahJah is not saying that the people don't know the difference between the two, but mangle the pronunciation because of the way in which they speak (my understanding anyway). Yes, Jamaicans are notorious for that. The confusion undoubtedly emanated from the history of Spanish, English, plus a mixture of African and Indian languages (or dialects).
I've heard fawming/faaming (as JahJah wrote) which might be used in substitution for either farming or forming. As I pointed out, however, I've never seen/heard the spelling/pronunciation of farming and forming used interchangeably.
In reply to Khaga
He was a former farmer... but he gave up the job.
