...and Greaves aiding the Leewards by scoring 9 in 48 balls!

Tell me why Springer can't play again?

Brathwaite Dowrich and Warrican should walk back in this team along with Springer!

Tevyn Walcott 28 n.o holding on for Pride with 47 runs to win and four wickets left

He should not sit for Dowrich...let him play as a batsman!

Bro, if you look at the Elite division scores, you will see the same as what happened in this match.Joseph just showed his ability and class, he and Louis out bowled Cummins.
Holder looked good, but the rest of the team, seem not to be ready for this competition.

To be honest both teams batting brittle but it was Terrence Yarde and Aljo Joseph who broke the back of the Pride batting.Yarde in the second innings dismissed Carter and Brooks.

Against the Leewards you need an off spinner...Ryan Hinds used to eat them for breakfast...a Benn or Warrican to aid Haydn Walsh Jr would have made this a totally different match...I doubt Leewards would have made 250 odd first innings with Warrican there.

Carty and Joseph is from the winning U19 group, each match these guys looks better.
A number of players from that group, seem ready for regional cricket.
Joseph and Hetty has move on to the International arena, they need experience players in the room, to assist them.
BTW, The Pride players did not seem prepared for the game

Bro I will say again Bajan selectors are piss poor in understanding the game of cricket. Springer is a talent and he sits because he is pigeon holed as an allrounder. I guess none of them sat and watch him construct his innings on at the World U-19. Kid came in in situations that you need to bat his team into good positions and he did just that. He changed gears when it was needed. But in most cases he controlled his innings not the other way around. This type of batting is so lacking in the West Indies it isn't funny. Guys walk out to the wicket at a loss of what is needed to be done. The game of cricket is loss because the administrators cannot provide any insite to the youths playing. They argue about garbage while the game just pass us by.

Bro we still has a class structure, and we still think calling a person Mr/Mrs or Doctor is showing respect.
