Why would Chase, Motie, and Hosein play in the same XI?

Especially when you have Leiws, King, Pooran, Hope, Hetmeyer, & Rutherford in the squad?

Lewis
Hope
Pooran
Hetmeyer
Rutherford
Powell
Russell
Shepherd
Hosein
Motie
Shamar

Sammy always pack team with batters ..
Akeal- Russell/Forde starts the bowling....
Then.. Chase - Motie... Russell/Forde ...
6th bowler...Powell & Rutherford..

I have taken into consideration...His love for Hety...

What love for Hety? Wasn't Hety one of the leading batsmen in the last CPL?

They need an extra bowling option... if he doesn't play then you going in with 5 bowlers alone. I don't consider the skipper and Sherfane bowlers.

Out of those 5 bowlers three of them are known as runs trucks.

Because you only have 5 bowlers and Chase bowls his quota each game.
Hope sits, why are you dropping our highest ranked batsman?In reply to Baje

I agree it may be a bowler short, but that is only if one can’t finish their quota of 4. In that case Rutherford bowls 1. In my opinion my XI has one Runs Truck (I.e. Russell), but sometimes he comes good. I do believe that pace off is the order of the day and is harder to dispatch on a wicket that offers some turn. I did not include Shepherd b/c of his recent injury, plus he would be a 2nd Runs Truck. I am sorry I did not make room for Hope. But I think it’s important to have the left handed Hety in team considering England’s wrist spin heavy attack and I do not want to break up the in form opening pair. We’ll see.

I have no room for Hope either. Most teams have 6 bowlers because one of the 6 will get licks and you need to hide them.
It's only 20 overs, why would you need more than 5 batsmen plus 2 all-rounders, especially with a tail that is handy with the bat

Let’s say you right and they need the extra bowler. You going with 3 spinners?

At Kensington??

You expecting Chase to be bowling at the death?

Hosein bowls the power play overs

Motie bowls the middle overs

Where Chase bowling?

Chase is the VC so that means he most likely has to play. Can you really drop Hosein or Motie???

I guess these are good headaches for the management to have!!!
