I have noticed that whenever he is captaining and his bowlers are struggling he brings himself on and invariably bowls wides and no-balls.I,trust my memory on this one.

Quite frankly, he needs to do this more often. Of all the bowlers he knew exactly what he wanted to do... the execution let him down.

With more bowling this can be corrected.

well if he has to come on it means the bowlers are not doing well and can't blame him

like Courtesy and others before i suggest he bowls more often to get better

Prefer getting wides trying to bowl full and wide than getting tonked over the leg side.

It shows tremendous self-belief that when his bowlers are getting pummeled he takes on the responsibility himself.If they are doing OK, he does not bowl.He however has to make sure he does not bowl any no-balls.

I don’t see the difference between what he’s doing and say what kraigg brathwaite does with the test team
