Campbell back.
JA chose to bat.

Seriously John you need to know your changes.

Ouch Kirk gawn fi 4 - a nothing shot
5/1

In reply to Chrissy

It is grossly embarrassing that the captain doesn't know the changes to his team. He then goes on to make injudicious shots, but miraculously, he is still there.

I’m back

Slow batting fi true

Pitch dont seem that easy. Exaggerated bounce at times. Ball that got McKenzie was a good one. And King seemed surprised by the bounce when he got out

Academy 39/2

In reply to JoeGrine

After the hurrah's I decided to go watch bits of the last game and tuned out depressed at everything JCB/CWI and players. Sabrina's physical plant including the field is atrocious. Looking at Kevlon's and Kirk's innings it became clear to me that vs a good and well captained international fielding team both would need luck to pass 35

In reply to Brerzerk
Yep poor fielding across the region

In reply to Brerzerk

Well said, our batsmen lack the mental capacity to handle 1/2 decent bowling. If any can average 35 we (they) would be lucky.

Jordan Johnson just confirmed what I am saying. Our batters lack the ability to think their way thru a stay at the crease. he comes to the wicket close to tea hits two sixes and a four in 5 balls, then gives away his wicket trying to hit a four on the stroke of tea. Do they think?

Having shots (McKenzie etc. are you hearing me?) is one thing, knowing when to apply them is another. Unfortunately, in this region, we glorify shot making not batting application.

We are not ready.

Glen 39*143/2
Partnership 93

Yard lead 322

In reply to JoeGrine

I saw him when he played a beautiful innings and straight away I thought he can tangle mate,he will be one for the future,he went Sri Lanka and did so well,surely someone must talk to him we cannot afford to let them slip through the net.

Academy needs 355
5 wickets for Bishop

In reply to granite

Boss, we focus too much on the shot-making and not the mental capacity to focus and construct an innings when shot-making, whether by good bowling or an unfriendly pitch, isn't feasible. Our batters lack the application techniques when mental acuity is required.

In reply to JoeGrine
The sad truth
20/1

Come Yard wickets now

Bishop gawn ct & b Barnes 57
144/2

Shields strikes - Campbell takes the catch
167/3

In reply to JoeGrine

I wish him all the best and hope he thinks about match situation and pitch condition etc,he could be one of the best. I imagine Johnson and Jewell on a West Indies team in a couple of years,that would be something to watch.

Barnes again - two set batsmen gawn
173/4.
This could be over today

Dropped by Glen - dolly drop flop dat
Jordan gets a life

Johnson runout Glen

Dropped by Campbell -

In reply to Chrissy

Is Campbell ready for a recall to an opening slot at the expense of KB or M.Louis which of the 2 you would drop.

In reply to granite

Is Campbell fit? For the last two matches he was injured or sick in the second innings. He might not be ready for a 5-day match

In reply to granite
Could be
Stumps
Academy 256/5

Academy trail by 100

In reply to granite

This is the problem I have with us fans, Johnson has not shown the mental capacity to succeed at cricket as a batter. You are speaking from the shots you have seen him make. What about his judgment? What about his application when he's not on a batting strip or the bowling is nagging?

Johnson/McKenzie - they can pretty much make all the shots, however, mentally, they cannot process at difficult intervals.

I continue to be impressed by the little keeper tuckett and joshua bishop batting

In reply to JoeGrine
100% correct

Just gifting their wickets. All about experience. Mindley is not bowling anything special.
