Jamaica was in TOTAL COMMAND at 199 for 2, before losing 8 wickets while adding 121 more runs.

It was a total give away.

Carlos Brown keeps getting STRANGLED ... on or about the leg-stump.

Kirk McKenzie gave his wicket to a ball swinging away down the leg-side.

Jermaine went back to a STRAIGHT ball from Cornwall - and played right across it.

These are three of four batsmen that Jamaica Scorpions have -

who can make the WI Test Team.

But these are ORDINARY balls.

Test Class batsmen usually are not bothered by such.

Poor fielding is also an issue. Several chances have not been taken.

The reason for my speaking out at this time is:

Kirk McKenzie has DONATED his wicket - three times in a row.

Carlos Brown - when well set - DONATED his, at least two times in a row.

If you don't know how to leg-glane or sweep ... then play STRAIGHT.

REAL CRICKETERS NEVER get out that way.

As a little boy - playing cricket - the rules are:

any full-toss ... is a four.

anything leg-side ... is a four.

I witnessed our batsmen playing FORWARD DEFENSE

to full-tosses.

Those balls that have been getting both Carlos Brown

and Kirk McKenzie out would have been flicked through

midwicket for fours ... by a Maurice Foster.

The TRAGEDY is that those deliveries deserved to be

dispatched for FOUR or SIX runs.

LOOSE DELIVERIES ... the the bowlers did NOT intend

to bowl.

Poor decision making continues.

Campbell "ABUSES" Cornwall & McKenzie

makes a meal of an ordinary delivery.
