Our two best ODI batsmen. We need them to succeed in red ball cricket as well. They both have a good technique and it’ll augur well for us if they can take their white ball form to tests

I think Rutherford is up there with them as well but he’s not playing today. Brandon King reminds me a bit of Stuart Williams…. A brilliant 20 then out

Zavier Marshall had lovely cricket shots also with a suspect technique. I had high hopes for him after under 19, but he got exposed at the highest level.

I think Xman was too talented for his own good. I watched him destroy Franklin Rose in a local parish game before. He looked like he could hit Rose wherever he wanted to on that day.

Their techniques were exposed at the test level and they are no field restrictions in test cricket

King decided to go for shortened-form game money, and his technique went to pieces as a result. King, S. Hope, and Athanaze are the three best middle-order batsmen in the region; however, they are all very flawed.
