I do not understand why Pooran did not rest for this series.

For all you here who think that it was Hope's fault,
let me edumacate you.
Hope is a rhythm player.
When the ball is played straight,
the non-striker looks to the striker for a signal.
In the meantime, he should proceed to run.

When the strike starts to run, or says go, the non-striker keeps running.

Pooran started to run, and then called off Hope.
Hope was in full flow running, thus could not get back.

Conclusion, Pooran's fault.
Conclusion #2 Pooran needs a break.

Pooran seems unhappy.

Something appears to be wrong in the camp.

All dis talk about Scammy being a man manager,
where is the proof of that?

Aljo seems angry.
Pooran seems unhappy.
Rutherford and Getty seems off.
I do not see the usual happy team joking around and expressing camaraderie.

The second runout, in my opinion, was Pooran's fault. The first was Hope's.

The first was Lewis' who refused to run.

He did not even look like he was backing up.

That os not cricket especially in powerplay.

The ball was played to a left-hander who had time to run around the ball.

Had Lewis been backing up,
He would have made it home comfortably.

However, Hope should have known that Lewis is nt a good runner.

It should not happen at the highest level.

My coach run us to hell and back in practice to avoid this.

People like Shiv, Lewis, Inzaman, Hooper were poor runners.

Hooper confessed a few years ago that he was lazy and did not practice hard after making Windies team.

Taking a leaf from Hooper's confession,
I wonder if the others including Lewis work on their fitness and running between the wicket drills.
Looking at Lewis attitude in the field and between the wickets,
give me pause about his fitness.
