Series Players Assessment by a WI fan

This Excerpt was adopted from the Jamaica Obsever, comments by a WI fan in response to the just concluded Test Match Series between WI and Pak:

"The averages of the top players (Brathwaite 16.83; Powell 26.83; Hetmyer 16.0; Hope 24.83; and Singh 10.5) was just plain pathetic. Dowrich also failed because, aside from his 56 in the 1st inning of the 1st Test, he only averaged 18.7 for the series. One major surprise is the selectors' insistence on sticking with the same 11 throughout the series. Hetmyer and Hope are obvious talents but they need to visit a batsman's camp in order to develop consistency and to learn how to bat for long periods. Brathwaite and Powell should be ashamed of their performances. Singh is a domestic player at best, and does not belong in the Test arena".

In my opinion Chase and Holder were standouts during the series but certainly Gabriel and Al Joseph performed creditable, while Bishoo held his own despite much criticism.
