Rutherford has been disappointing so far

He came in on Sunday with not many overs left. Should have probably come ahead of Russell. So I give him a Bligh there.

But today’s dismissal was disappointing for sure. Especially for such an important member of the batting lineup.

Backing him to come good in St Kitts.

Actually needs to bat higher. He is the most proven between Chase, Hetmyyer and himself in West Indies colors.

Nothing new..... West Indies batters usually burst into scene...... Opposite Data Analyst work on them....find there weakness....then......

That's that....

too much league cricket...man playing in every league since IPL...what you can get away with as a batsman in league cricket you can in international cricket...

in fact all of dem look tired

In reply to imusic

He’s been a bit out of form of late and just came straight from the “glue patch” I’m sure being a former Patriot he’ll definitely come good in St. Kitts!!!

Rutherford must be pissed having to bat after Powell and Russel, He is better than at least Powell.

In reply to imusic

Agreed but he will come good.
He should bat ahead of Chase and Hetmyer. He is talented enough to make adjustments on the fly

I think from a batting standpoint, Shai Hope should be playing the “Chase role”.

Stabilize the batting if early wickets fall.

Chase is really surplus to requirements. There are already 2 spinners in the team so his bowling, while a nice option to have, isn’t really required. Hope is a better batsman.

If Chase MUST play, being Sammy’s boy and all that, then Powell needs to sit,

Lewis
King
Rutherford
Hetmeyer
Hope (interchangeable in the batting order depending on match situation)
Powell
Holder
Shepherd
Forde (in for a rested AlJo)
Motie
Hosein

"being Sammy’s boy and all that". I am with you. You had to find a place for this.

In reply to Mustwin

Roston Chase is a very valuable cricketer. Competent in batting and fielding, a handy bowler, and a good team man.

A sort of Swiss Army knife, handy to have in any squad.

But as I posted previously, surplus to 1st XI requirements.

hope they do not drop him, because they do not better

the two shots he got out to at Sabina park would go for 6 in Warner Park in St Kitts.
Warner Park is one of the smallest grounds in the world.
