Your batting is your strength and your bolling is your weakness yet you go into the match with five bowlers and six batsmen when all your players can bat with the possible exception of number 11.... And you know your bowlers are inconsistent and can be very expensive. It makes no sense!!

Correct this error and drop Hetmyer in favor of Chase and play Ford who was your best bowler in the last ODI . Play Forde in place of Shama Joseph whom we know is not ready for T20 international cricket yet

Agreed. I would also drop Powell, even though he is Captain, and play Hope. Appointing Powell was a mistake from the start. This is another Sammy situation - a captain who cannot justify a place in the team. Hope should have been appointed Captain of both ODI & T20.

You realize this series is just curry goat cricket to entertain the British tourist who flock to Barbados and the "local Bajans" who see some of the English players as their own sons.

Win the toss and field first, and win the game, Motie had to bowl with a bar of soap.

But the English can entertain themselves while we put some licks on them and not not while we are the ones getting the blows
