Not sure about that decision to bowl Ryan John for the final over and then bowling around the wicket. You had Mayers 3 overs 2/17 in the PP and you bowl the expensive John.

it was the right call given how John bowled at the death all season

John just didn't execute

risk to bowl a slower Mayers

Spot on. Easy to 2nd guess but if ball not swinging Mayers is usually cannon fodder.

Mistake was to hold back Hasaranga when Rovman first came in

What death bowling are you talking about ? I have been watching SKNP all season and John has not bowled well at the Death. Unimpressed by his bowling but then again SKNP's bowling overall has been poor except for Nortje and Mayers.

I maintain Mayers should have bowled.

In 5 matches Ryan John has bowled 13.5 overs at 12.36 econ.

I think Fletch captaincy was poor.
When Permal was bowling and getting turn off the pitch, he allowed too many singles. Don't know wht he was thinking.

That was the worst decision. I almost walked out the park when I see hom give John the ball. Duncy thing that. Poor decision
Fletcher captaincy reminding me of Lewis own last season. Poor decisions. Though he was good uo to that last over and he undo everything doing the innings.
Plus he should of had Mayera also bowling from the Pavillion end just before he switched Nortje over. Is every single person who understood cricket was holding their head in de park. Even Drakes down by we stand was holding he head.
