Maybe that certain poster wanted the other batsmen to get some "easy" batting in the last match so as to get acclimated to the conditions since Bangamarys are too much of a bigger fish to fry.... lol lol lol lol

Only Chase & Ambris cross 30.

It's called a strategic approach.

Lil Bravo would have done with a lil' knock too.

A man who is not on the World Cup side just wasting resources.

big grin

This is a good match to show how our bowlers can turn things around when our batting fail,I say fail but 261 could be a match winning score.

ok. no arguments there.

You mean big, bad, bravo couldn't beat up on lil bangla once he got his chance today?

not so quick. He got picked to do work this series so he's doing it to best of his ability and to put affirmative weight on his stock.

So there is no room for mental agility for our dressing room staff. I take your point if you are asserting the need to stick to one track straight jacket thinking.

I have no arguments...except IMO, it was not the right approach.

I have taken the "no box approach."

In reply to Courtesy

fair enough. But let's agree to disagree.

I just put myself in J.Campbell's position.
I would've felt narrowly slighted that I didn't get picked for the WC.

Now, they picked me for this series and I got a chance to impress... why wouldn't I make the MOST of it? Perhaps this is sowing my seed to reap the benefits in the future? Could be even the WC in the event anyone is injured (Gayle, for instance)..... I want to be the first replacement batsman the selectors think of..... get my drift?

Mate, it's not that he did not impress some persons. He made great use of his opportunity.

Himself and Hope got their centuries. A sensible approach would be, to allow someone else the opportunity to ketch form after they asserted their authority and superiority against Ireland from 35 overs.

There is NO guarantee of that..... what if the opening pair had retired at 100* each and the rest of them failed miserably and the side was out for 225 and lost the game?

We would be having a different discussion cussing those same two.....

Look... no batsman is responsible for another batsman to find form.... com'on man...

This is where I quit. No sensible person discusses hypotheticals in sports.

Sorry mate. I take my leave.

 
RemainsUnknown 2019-05-07 15:17:20 

How often do we see a batsman making merry in the middle.... Gayle, Hetty... you name them.... pitch looks great for batting so we want all else to feast... then BAM... the side collapses like it's a completely different track?

NOTHING IS GUARANTEED.... even if it is seemingly a "flat track" or "lampy pampy" bowling... all it takes is 1 delivery to get a man out... that could come at ball #1 or ball #100....

And to say "let the others get a peep to make merry" is NOT hypothetical since it's NOT guaranteed they WILL make runs?

 
natty_forever 2019-05-07 15:22:50 

In reply to RemainsUnknown we could have been 0-1 after jus one ball.

Are the Bangladeshi's openers considering

"retiring" to provide lower order with

"batting practice"?

 
Drapsey 2019-05-07 15:27:58

Drapsey 2019-05-07 17:17:14

I know how much you wannabe like me! Keep trying with your feeble attempts!
First, you have to have an original thought. Secondly, you have to believe in your convictions and have the confidence to execute them regardless what the naysayers like you say! You have none of that! You will forever RemainsClueless!

In sports a leader does not second guess his decisions. You choose your option and stick with it. Continue to be a follower and let me “learn” you and one day you might just escape the BOX!
Here’s a little advice, Go take your balls out the water, set it on a tee and strike it with an iron! lol : lol

Thats what was required...didnt happen.

Carter still dumb as a brick at this level...

not blaming Bravo...his wicket was stolen from him...Carter however is lucky to be up there.

Reminds me of twinkle toes when it comes to expectations versus results.

Are you assuming that Bravo & Holder

could not fail & plunge the inning

into panic?
