he made several bowling blunders

1. Why bowl Hasaranga 3 with Powell still to come?

2. Why not bowl Mohsin earlier

3. Why bowl Mohsin again after he went for runs

4. blah

he is not captaining well at all

Is there any sensible person involved with this St. Kitts team? They have not won a CPL game at home in years. The pitches are batting paradises with no hope for any bowlers and a tiny ground. Then they play all 4 matches on the same wicket which is now worn out so taking spin and not behaving normally. They simply do not have the fire power or talent to survive on these pitches. Why would you put yourself at such a disadvantage. They need a change of ownership and management. Maybe if the Jamaica government comes up with the money, this St. Kitts franchise can move to Jamaica or maybe Florida.

As I said on another thread, when Permaull was bowling and getting turn off the pitch, he allowed too many singles. He could a bring up a fielder or 2 and plug the gaps. If they want to hit in the air with so much spin, let them. razz

Antigua is not bad Navin. Come on they lost 2 games on the last ball so could have easily been 3-2 and not 1-4. I expect ABF to beat SKNP come Sunday. Remember ABF's best opener Brandon King is yet too play a game. Still ABF will beat SKNP without him.

Stop being blinded by small island thinking and accept that they do not have a clue. If,as is obvious, they can't manage the franchise then, it makes sense to move on. Will that long suffering fan base in St. Kitts continue to be loyal and pay their hard-earned money to see this imitation baseball team get beaten all the time.

Maybe he wanted to, but just couldn't get it right. Happens to the best of them, so poor John.

In reply to tops

you saw that indeed

too many easy singles in the ring, even if it was turning or not

i suppose that's a challenge a leader faces with a smallish total....the aggressive captains will lock that aspect down and not hedge as much

They won 2 titles, GAW has one 1 so they must be doing something right. All teams go through transitions and they made a gamble with Gayle/Bravo with not much of a succession plan. That was their last championship and their last victory at home.

Fletch is captain as there are no alternatives right now however there is hope as Mikyle can be groomed for leadership and take the helm in 2 years and possibly we can do better in the draft. This would most likely be Fletch's final year and surely we could do better than Odean Smith?

Quit moping about Jamaican Tallawahs, money talks. Go and start a 7th franchise and leave SKNP alone!
