Mudlands had one consistent batsman in Hope.

Hosein delivered a jaffa and the rest is history.

Mudland had not batting line up from the start.
No consistent playing 11 or close to it.
They were disorganized and I believe they only gain momentum because of the homefield advantage.

Why bat first.
Let TKR go in first and know that total you are chasing.
That way, Hope can anchor.
Mootie was disappointing as usual.
And allya wonder why Scammy ain't taking him to Hindia.
Bowling too fast and not allowing pitch to do its thing.

I support Mudlands, but I am very disappointed in management all year.
I hope they get two openers,
get rid of $200 k salary Tahir
make Hetty cappo
Invest in locals more. (Paul, Hetty, Shamar, Samson etc).

Tahir is not the most tactical captain

We all know the batting was poor, but the way he handle his bowlers was beyond poor

First thing GAW needs to do is shake up the management team.

- get rid of the dude who claims that he discovered Shamar Joseph

Release these guys
1. Moeen
2. Khan
3. McDermott
4. Brooks

Would keep Pretorius for another year. Tahir could stay if he's willing to take a pay cut.

Guys who they need to consider releasing
1. Hety
2. Keemo

That’s a load of hogwash!
TKR executed their plan better than GAW did. They fielded better and bowled better. Guyana on the other hand didn’t execute as well bowling and fielding.

Batting first usually makes good sense in a final. I think Tahir handled his bowlers badly. Even the 130 could have been challenging with the right tactics

Disagree, they didn't execute while batting. 20 more runs would have been interesting.
