Maybe a reason bowlers shouldn’t be captain

And it was just demonstrated in this match

Holder was sure he had his man. Reviewed right away.
Lost the review and now they have no more reviews.

Did the emotion of the moment get the better of him? Maybe…….maybe not.

But it does raise the question

Modern day successful bowling captains

Pat Cummins
Imran Tahir
Stokes
…

Fair. Doesn’t invalidate the question

In reply to imusic

Bowlers have more personal gain at the risk of the team.
On that premise, maybe not, unless you agree to a process that weighs heavily on the input of others.

As a West Indian Athanaze is batting too low in this Patriots team.

Will you see local player so treated in the IPL?

Should bat ahead of Roussow

Your ship docked at the wrong port judging after reading your post

In reply to imusic

Did not know CPL starts tonight.

In reply to tc1

Yeah. Non stop cricket

In reply to Raskil

Based on that alone. No way.

I was at the game and when Mayers out was like Alick should be there. In fact I was hoping he even came down before Mayers cause aint like Patriots was searching for quick runs ans you could of seen already that the wicket was playing spin well so Falcons was gonna bring on they spinners early.

Now to Imusic question, yes bowlers as captain they will be really quick to go for the review off their own bowling

Don't wicketkeeper and batter captains make mistakes with reviews? All of us who have played this game know that there are deliveries that we swore would hit the stumps have somehow ending up missing or what sounded like an edge being nothing at all

In reply to imusic

So, whap"n when the team's best bat and cappo without asking his partner reviews one hitting middle stump? I've seen it happen

I prefer a bowler/alrounder as captain over a wicket keeper. It’s just more practical in my opinion and experience!

In reply to imusic

Holder has been very poor with the use of DRS, now as captain, its his...

MANY THANKS SAH!

I was wondering how many posters would carry on building Imusics straw man for him.


How many Batsman Captains feel that they are Out LBW without question?

How many have gone up instantly without even consulting the man at the other end where the Ump is to ask if they agree in recent times.


Much ado bout nothing.


oh...and in case anyone missed it ...HOLDERs TEAM Prevailed!!


a likkle more and I would have accused Imusic of targeting Bajans as usual.
