In reply to openning
Are the youngsters hitting enough balls at practice?
That was the first thing that came to mind after watching a meek surrender by
the Jamaica 'batters' in their first innings.
What have they been doing during the break of about two weeks. ?
It was the most pitiful batting I have ever seen even when I started watching after four wickets were down.
Then after losing Barnes and Johnson in second innings they folded as butter in sunlight.
It was as if most did not give a hoot to fight.
Were I in charge at least five would be dropped even if replacements are not up to snuff.
The new opener is worse than Brown whom he replaced for this game.
Barnes needs disciplining..with Lunch scant minutes away he gave his hand away displaying lack of
common sense..And this after being bowled down with his bat at 6th stump line in first innings.
Do these guys s watch videos or do these players of today really care ? Do coaches ?
These are reasons why I hardly watch games for any length of time.
Mediocre should not be the norm.
BTW that total of 44 is lowest in JA's overall Regional batting history...they fell to Barbados for 47 in September of 1896
when they went on tour of BG and Barbados leving their homeland for the first time.
Took them 30 years before they went back to Barbados
way back in 1896
