Why everytime he's in the XI he hardly gets a chance with the ball when Hope is the captain?

If you don't have use for the man then don't play him... they just know how to kill a player confidence.

You know already Bajans don’t know how to use Guyanese spinners lol

But to be fair Motie is woefully out of form and Hope trust his buddy Chase over Motie’s new wrist spin to left handers!!!

That whole ball turning into and away from the batsman is so stupid but Scammy following dial up data rolleyes

In that case don't play him since you don't have any confidence in his bowling.

A piss off catch by Motie. under handed back in, and immediately turn his back on his team mates

the announcers has no guts .. avoiding discussing his lack of participation

Only thing I can think of is they trying a pinch hitter role for him a la Sunil Narine

If that’s the case, what they did today is flawed because Narine opens the batting to try and take advantage of the power play.

To send Motie in to bat in the 10th over without the fielding restrictions of the power play doesn’t make sense.

To be fair……he is without King, Hetmeyer, Powell, and Lewis.

For a team like West Indies, that’s beyond significant.

If anything, it exposes our lack of depth and overall fragility in the batting department.
