pleasantly surprised that we came that close to the total - one run to blow wow!
We fell down with bowling and fielding today so they had too many runs.
I expected us to make less than 100 today.
Nicely done tail enders.

This team is without tail-enders!

Both Shepherd and Hosein have first class centuries.

Same here Chrissy, I was expecting the same. It was a valiant effort and had Pollard and the top order stepped up, exluding Bravo, we could have won the match.

Hosein is a top order batsman… they need to bat him earlier but I think he will get big bucks in the IPL and bye bye WI… cool

Three matches to go to show if today was a fluke by Hosein

Hosein and Frenchie are Polly's proteges, he got them to play in England one summer.

T&T spin twins , both can bat.

Today shows what he is capable of doing.
It is not going to happen every game, and it may not happen during the rest of the series, but once he gain experience and want to be the best he can be, no one knows how far he can go.

Only the number one seed

If well drilled this squad can turn out to be something. They.
can hoik as well as bat straight
Can rotate with quick Singles, find and catch well. Proper coaching and drills should create the consistency. Only time will tell

Not sure if the cameras picked up the standing ovation for how the entire match went but particularly how we finished.

This is where precisely what you highlighted comes into discussion


Extras
Dropped catches
Soft dismissals

The grit and determination from the lads —-That was special.

20/20 cricket can hide the huge craters in WI cricket.

That was no fluke Raised. Hosein has shown before that he can bat and had we had more runs earlier, he very well may have been the hero yesterday. I am extremely pleased with his performance and I think that if he keeps his head on, he can be a valuable asset to the team in the years to come.

It is true Chrissy, Bravo didn't even get a hand to the ball. Catches win matches and Ali would have been out earlier. However, Bravo made 24 off 20 balls while Captain Polly made.....
