The match was lost by the batting of Hope, Carty

King and Rutherford.

There is no good reason for the exclusion of Holder.

Is he no with the Hundred Mens Competition 2025 in Eng?

In reply to Narper

He might be, but I get the impression that he wasn't asked to be part of the team

Holder..the best all rounder after Sobers....but can't get place in losing test and ODI teams.....
If it's argued that Holder is playing in England....then what Great Management skills..Pooran retires...Holder won't play.....

There was no urgency in the batting and running no attempt to put the fielder under pressure to turn one into two. The body language in the Chase Hope partnership was one of resignation

The two men that did 50 and KetchMe
The brainless first over KetchMe by King
The Swipe by Sheppy
The 6 balls unfaced.

Holder has made himself available for all formats.

Scammy is an ass/donkey/idiot/cluesess jackass/unqualified, plain stupid.

The worse part is that he pulling down Hope with him.

Hope looks a defeated man.
A puppet on Scammy's string.

That team looks lifeless and clueless.

Only smiles come from Shamar.

Even Carty tried to tell them that Rizwan catch came off his pad and not the bat and Hope reviewed anyway,
while King was shrugging his off in a dismissive way.

King was horrendous. I’m so mad at him. One more chance and if it’s not a good outing, then Jewel Andrew will have his lunch.

It looked like batting was more difficult in the 1st inning than when Pakistan batted, or it was that the WI batters are less skilled. However, they have to work on running more singles

the match was lost from the get go… the team is laced with t20 mediocre players that can’t bat 3 quality overs. Chase, Carty and Hope are the only players that have a chance of scoring in the team… Lewis is it or missed
