he is the captain of this team and a leading bowler you can't have him keep spending so much time off the field which i assume is because of his health and fitness issues if he can't handle the grind of spending hours in the field under the caribbean sun ,this ain't the format for him .

Agreed to some extent. He is on the wrong side of 30 so the things he used to get away with despite being grossly overweight may not be possible now. He basically cost us the game but so did Oshame who was off for a long time and he only bowled 4 overs. Did not hear you question Oshame's fitness. We cannot sustain two unfit liabilities who have crucial roles in the lineup.

Cornwall needs to relinquish the captaincy and let Keacy (captained the team in his absence) however the conundrum is he is still our most successful bowler at this level. So I say next season let him play as off-spinner only and bat him 9/10 as his batting has regressed. In the meantime we need a tournament so we can find another off spinner or legspinner. Micah Mckenzie was selected for the emerging players T20. We also need another regional pick to replace Oshame as he too is unfit and not half the bowler Cornwall is.

Agree with the lead poster. VOR sometimes you kill off any post you have when you just choose to attack a player cause they not from the Leewards, did it with Bonner and other now Oshane. Give it a break man. I went park ans I saw Oshane bowl and field, and though he may have his issues he still managed to put it out therr for thr tram. Cornwall cost us in my opinion not just 1 game but at least two. And I like him as a player cause when he's fit, yes fit in his element, he can bowl consistently all day. But that hasn't been so this season. So let's hope he's able to gain some level of fitness back and contribute positively to the team success.
