Don't even think Holder was that bad. Good riddance to him though.

you doh remember in the world cup we had australia 80-5 with oshane, cottrell and dre russ putting the fear of god in the aussies with a very 80s like display...and holder bring on himself and carlos brathwaite then ashley nurse? Australia from 80-5 when on to make 280+. totally nonsensical captaincy
scoreboard with commentary if you want a reminder

you doh remember when west indies, 1-1 in the series in england for the first time in forever, had to go to lords for the decider, and holder put WI in to bat with Anderson and broad in the opposition on the slope that is lords in overcast conditions? Holder, Hope, Kraigg and it seems every other bajan captain of recent vintage captain the same way: reactionary and full of baffling decisions

Which is worst? the field placing, or managing the bowling. I do believe the captain doesn’t follow the game dynamics. While in progress.

Very poor captaincy gave away this match. We were never going to contain England. We needed wickets and Hope played a defensive and timid game in the field.

For many Hope gets all the blame, those same flame throwers would be screaming the virtues of the coach had WI won the match.

You're 50% correct, I place it on both. Would you not say that is fair?
