In Alzarri Defence

People up ina de feelings cuz it happen to a Bajan captain.Alzarri is one of those who always give his all and all in every format for the maroons so I ain't gonna condemn him 100 percent for that incident.
Hope just had to give way to his needs as the top bowler in the line up and if it was proven wrong pull his idea and insert his then. If at that moment Alzarri carry on so then I'd fully go against the Antiguan. Mr Hope brought that incident on himself. The likes of Worrell and Loyld know how to avoid such nonsense.

What is Alzarri excuse as a VC for leaving the field?
Viv would not have allowed him back.
Hooper disagreed with a selection and did not bowl the player.
The Players knew about field placement before leaving the pavilion. You wrote about what you read or heard without understanding.
All the discussions you wrote about happened before going out to the field.
Alzarri knew only one slip would have been in a play before leaving the dressing room, he just decided to go against what the team discussed.

Bajans up in their feelings. But then again that ain’t a new thing

Would not have had one slip in any form of the game he played in

So if a bowler an experienced one sees something straight away that needs a change against the agreed plan from the dressing room in his opening over of the game he shouldn't demand it from the skipper? Wha' yuh talking 'bout? Yuh think is A1 robots outdeh on de park?

In reply to Raggs

A player can be upset, but he should never leave the field, without having a replacement.
It was leaving the field that got him the two-match suspension.
You don't get it, players get upset for various reasons, leaving the field as Alzarai is the reason he is not playing in the first two T20i matches.

Yes he wrong about how he left de park but prior to that, Captain Hope could have cooled that incident down or infact avoided it all together. Give his premier bowler his field and see how it go and pull it if proven that Alzarri idea ain't cutting the mustard.

In reply to Raggs

You seem to think that the situation started on the field between Hope and Alzarri. The team left the Pavillon knowing the field setting, Alzarri lost the argument in the dressing room and brought it on-field like a spoiled brat.

I’ve never heard alzarri openly complain about losing the vice captaincy. Whereas allyuh boy holder said it was difficult losing the test captaincy despite his obvious failure in the role

I believe that you are correct that you never heard Aljo complain openly.

Many people said that he complained privately.

Many reputable sports reported who spoke to him personally.

One even said that Aljo said that a bowler is his own captain.

These are all on social media.

I am not confirming anything as I never spoke with Aljo.

Dude, every poster knows my take on the captain role in cricket.
Can you name another team sport, where a captain makes all the decisions during a game?
