Coaching - all coaches should be removed immediately.
Selectors - they should be removed immediately.
The reasons are below:
1. The captains selected were wholly inept at bowling changes, field placings and situational awareness.
2. You enter a match (use the last one as an example) with FOUR recognized batsmen (two of whom were debutants). How is this smart cricket?
3. If you are playing four recognized batsmen, then you are saying your bowling will take the pressure off the 4. The opposition makes in excess of 400.
4. If any Jamaican team is playing only four recognized batsmen then the four would be : Gayle, Rae, Headley, Rowe plus any seven bowlers. Heck, I would even settle for Sam Morgan, Leon Garrick, Herbert Chang, "Danny Germs" Austin.
4. All season you have struggled to make 200, yet you only play four recognized batsmen.
5. Mansingh, apart from his surname, what did he really contribute to (a) maintain his place (b) be promoted to number 5 in the batting?
6. Why was Wedderburn (or some other youngster) not given an opportunity?
7. Where are the young bats and bowlers in Jamaica? Walton, Blackwood, Green, Salmon, Bonner, Lewis and Mindley are all on the negative side of 27.
8. Do players get selected so they can "eat a food"? Clearly, they are not being selected to perform or even with the future in mind.
