2020-01-23 16:27:32
I plan on watching for most of today. So I see Campbell win and toss and field for the 3rd straight time..Quite likely they
will follow on again.
As pacers None of Mindley,Gordon, Green nor Powell can frighten any batsman. Surely Leveridge at least gives you that.
Did Jamaica really produce Hines Johnson,Gilchrist,Holding and Patterson ?
Brooks may get a double here.

In reply to natty_forever
Do you understand what frighten means in terms of fast bowling. ?
Fast but not foolish, son. Creates terror around the head..Makes batsmen lose appetite for run scoring.
I guess you are young enough to hear of Lillee and Thomson when they invited the 75-76 West Indies batsmen to their necktie parties.... 5-1.
Grow up and learn rasta.
Too many pie throwers now calling themselves fast bowlers. I gave you four Jamaican fast bowlers.When I see Mindley,Gordon et al I have to wonder.
I watched therm for a while and no batsman had to bob and weave..compare to a spell by Chamar Holder the Bim youngster.

The captain led the team astray. He went out to bat and was playing like a man who had just passed 100. Problem is the 100 was in the previous game. Instead of encouraging young Oraine Williams to dig in and play 4 day cricket he had the youngster trying to play a shot a ball.
Brainless cricket by a brittle batting line-up.

The bowling from Roach and Holder was impressive. However, the batsmen didn't show any stomach to stand up and fight. Conversely, Holder's first ball was hooked savagely by Campbell for a massive six. Holder didn't panic though, he held his nerve and came back to take five wickets. The way cricketers handle adversity is the difference between winning and losing.

taking nothing away from holder he is bowling beautifully but is they a thought that modern west indies batsmen are raised up on poor pitches against medium pacers they are no longer adapt to playing quick bowlers or taking on short pitch bowling like years ago the guyanese batsmen were floored by barbados literally and now jamaicans are having the same problems with aggressive bowling

I am surprise, it looks like Jamaica dropped the batsman who has been consistent this season so far, Palmer. However, it is either Holder bowled well or Jamaica's batsmen need to be practicing a lot more.

They kept him as a passenger season after season so why would they drop him now that he is finally scoring some runs?

Shemar Holder got 4 of his 5 wickets
by exploiting the over exuberance of the
Jamaican batsmen to go HARD at the bowling
without taking into account the PACE of
the wicket.

It was NOT Pace like Fire Bowling.
It was intelligent use of length, pace
& movement to induce mistakes from batsmen
Who do not have the patience of a;
Dennis Smith or a Paul Palmer.

I was a bit harsh on the commentators, they are making a lot of sense when they talk about the technical side of the game.
Interestingly one pointed out some technical flaws about Blackwood's batting after watching him in the net. These are the same flaws Blackwood had years ago when he played for West Indies.
Another one said Bonner is the best batsman in Jamaica. How interesting is that?
