I opine that Pooran's problem is that #3 position.
Pooran likes to start fast and does not generally take time to get his eye in.
This attitude leads to inconsistency.
When Pooran realizes that he is the best and can take 2 overs to have a look,
He will be even more destructive,
I also notice that he bats quite well with Hope.
I like what I saw yesterday: That is.
Hope and Athanaze opening, left/right hand combo.
Pooran at 3 cause left hand got out.
Right hand at 3 if Hope was the one that got out (not sure that was the plan though)
After-all, Scammy is a cricketing fool. (real tactical novice).
With a team of lefties (Atty, Pooran & Ruthy)
With a team of right handers (Hope, Hetty, Powell, & Chase)
The team have the flexibility to play with batting order.
T20 is about flexibility, scheming and planning.
Scammy is a tactical idiot, just knowing to hit sixes.
I saw the bowling changes as being done by Powell on the field.
I also noticed that Hope appears to be involved with fielding consultations.
Did anyone else noticed Hope attitude with Forde after the 1st wicket?
The body language tells me that Hope had a talk with Forde who executed to a plan.
I said last CPL, that Hope was GAW de facto cappo.
