Bravo may have been head coach but he would have relied heavily on Otis' experience. I hope that TKR keeps that coaching unit and starts blooding some younger players next year.

However, I will credit Otis with TKR's bowling display, especially in the latter stages. To get runs truck Russell to bowl so economically, is a mean feat.

Maybe because Otis has aged well and doesn't look nearly as ugly as when part of the infamous HHGS whatever that was.

Otis is now involved heavily in the Elevator and Escalator business in Canada, and his name is prominently displayed on elevators and escalators. Take that, cricket synics!
