Butcher said on three separate occasions the Hope should be in all T20I.

First time he said he can't believe that Hope is missing from the team at times.

The second time he said that Hope should always be in the starting 11.

The 3rd time he said that Windies need Hope finesse among the power hitters.

When I saw the first T20 selection, I grovelled.

Bp I'm not.

I say that he should be dropped as ODI cappo
due to the team's poor performances.

I believe in holding leaders responsible for teams' performances.
Similar to big businesses.

I never said that he should be dropped as a batsman.
My view on Hope is: -
Tests - middle order batsman.
ODI and T20, opening batter,

No captaincy at this time.
He should cappo his regional teams (Guyana and Bim)
to learn to captain.

In the words of Carlos Braithwaite, "proper cricket shots at the top."

Powell record as a captain is just as 'bad' as Shai's , no outcry .

Answer this,

How do Powell look as a cappo in the field.
Changing and mixing up bowling?
Talking to bowler?
Consulting with senior players?
Does he looked panicked?

Now ask the same questions re Baffit and Hope.

My 2 cents, dem two jokers don't even look like leaders in the field.
Poor results ta boot.

I say get rid of Hope as ODI cappo but he stays as an opener.

Send Braffit out ta pasture.

"I believe in holding leaders responsible for teams' performances."

True that. Hold out your glass
