DO NOT BLAME PLAYERS...BLAME SLEEPY JOE

Hola...Most saw the boys in battle being led by sleepy Joe..
Our cricketers are talented but lack the support and guidance to make them invincible..
we keep churning them out and keep turning them back to homeland..as the lyrics in Natural Mystic..
""Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why""
If you have leadership and mentors (supposedly) in your camp that shown failure over the years..well thats what our cricketers are set up for..
I ask...how can your part time bowler contribute more overs than your strike and main bowlers???
Keeping in mind the part time bowler is one of your main batsmen..
Somehow the inability to spot and push the batsmen in take control"I am THE KING MODE"...just dont seem to happen..
Our cricket admin Jimmy Adams saw a jumbie in the pitch every time he went out to bat..is this what is taught to the batsmen???
Control starts from your opening batsmen and sadly the message this pair sends to the dressing room is"THINGS BAD OUT HERE"...REALLY???
This team when on song and should always be on song can be quite convincing and unbeatable...
First 'Dont play friendship selection...Gabriel is like an egg and crack easily..sure he held up in first test...but one swallow does not make summer.
Cut Chase some slack..he is a main batsman...get a spinner in the team if thats is needed.
In batting order..1) Replace KB with anyone.....2)Give John Campbell a third test selection.3)Blackwood..ball beater this is where he should bat..4)Chase...good bat..5)Brooks.looks solid...6)Holder..he is ok bat..7)Dowrich..must play like Larry Gomes..8,9,10,11 your bowlers.(should be 3 pacers with a spinner)..Holder 4th pacer and maybe part time when needed..Dont tell me Chase got 5 wickets ..he also gave away 38 percent of runs and bowled 27 percent of overs...very unfair to him..
The guys are talented...but I have no faith in the support team that manages them....
but what the hell do I know????I do know that our cricketers can be world beaters..I say so..
But with Sleepy Joe..???Was he re-employed to get rid of some other cricketers??.just asking..
Adios
CB

John Campbell needs to go back and play lots of FC cricket and score heavily. Other than that I will accept Dow at 7 until he works out playing the short ball.

Dowrich has been competent behind the stumps and coming at #7 has scored more runs than both the #2 and #3 batsmen. Plus,the #6 batman,Blackwood, has scored more runs than Campbell and Hope, combined
