We played our bench to see what kind of depth we had and they struggled with bat in games /2 3 when the adjustments were made.

So far the jury is out:
Lewis still inconsistent.
Fletcher and Fabien only one game.
Rutherford needs to find himself again.
Chase looks steady with ball but but with bat at times gets in a rut.
Rovman has done little to remove his passenger tag.

Give the players some time.

On to the ODI series cannot wait to see Jewel in action!

Motie had a great series. Aljo was up and downn bu

to be fair Rov was better than we might have expected against the spinners...and that is good news thinking about the next t20 wc in SL

Overall, as a batting group they need to continue working on their spin play

Just a matter of time before he's replaced as captain by the always consistent AlJo.

You are well qualified to speak on captains who are passengers.

Well at least Aljo takes wickets, top fielder and can strike a mean ball.

Yes but when we needed a big score from him he fell short but he is a work in progress. I like him as Cappo.

Like I said it was a feeling out tour to test the depth of our resources and a 1-2 result is not so bad.


Hopefully all will be back for the England series.

agreed. No one really shone. All played basically as expected. In other words, no progress. We continue to depend on the same players so it means that we are not really moving forward. I too look forward to the ODI series to see how we will fare.

You should feel ashamed to type such nonsense.

Aljo is too inconsistent for one so fast.

Imagine what he wouls do if he learn to bowl.

Always too short.

The move to bat Motie ahead of Shep was a genius move! But yes Sammy is a Genius too!
