Holder to Bairstow, out Caught&Bowled!! What a comeback from the Windies' skipper. He has the final laugh. Windies get the breakthrough they dearly wanted. Banged in short, perhaps climbed more than what Bairstow expected there.

You're one of those who thinks that once you drop Bishoo, all of a sudden these jokers are going to bowl England out for 155?
Bishoo's only bowled five overs in this match. There's been 45 other overs of crap. Simple facts....
But Holder wants to make Bishoo into the scapegoat. he's bowled the least number of overs in this match.

Would you then entrust the spin bowler who was bowling consistently short and flat and with no variety throughout the match (and I dare say throughout his career) with the death overs?

That's the problem you end up with when you pick two crap medium-pacers in Holder and Cummins....
It would've been better to bowl more of Bishoo in the middle overs, and Powell at the end. At least Powell can vary his pace in a way Holder and Cummins seem incapable of doing.
100 up in the 14th over! According to my calculations, we're just ahead of D/L. That said, I find D/L so complicated that I'm not sure....

In reply to mikesiva
It's also a problem when you pick a front line bowler who cannot bowl his full quota of overs...pick your poison.
Hindsight is always 20/20 vision. Bishoo couldn't do it when there was no slogging , what are the chances he can do it with slogging and absolutely no deception in his bowling.
No decision is made on the spur of the moment with the benefit of hindsight.
