West Indies batsmen on strike...

...ahead of the Super 8. The idea of batting Chase at No.4 if two wickets fall in the power play is as idiotic as one can find on many fronts. It is counterproductive...and negates the maximum use of resources theory among several other reasons.

This is why I can never support Sammy as coach. His thinking is archaic and is not in tune with the modern T20 game.

I am not happy with this batting effort. It is not the trajectory that any Super 8 qualifying team would want to be on.

Hawk...spit.

@Courtesy

Sending Chase during power play overs is such a dumb move

@Courtesy

Sammy must understand this is high risk cricket by nature. Rutherford must bat at 4 despite what. To be honest I still don't like the power play Chase in the power play is counter productive.

@ray

more to the point going forward what to do about King?

@methodic

This is not rocket science. Only dunce coaches will not see the validity of this argument.

@CCW

King will be alright

@methodic

Bro. King cannot play neither pace nor spin with any level of proficiency.

He is lucky to be playing T20 cricket for West Indies.

@Courtesy

still the best option

@methodic

In the land of the blind a one eye man is King.

Italy just lost two wickets in the power play, did they tinker their batting? Of course not. It is a silly thing to do in T20.

Chase batting at less than a run a ball with a SR of 95. And even worse batting a lil over 20 percent of the overs and absolutely no instructions to move on even if Chase was eating up the overs.

This the West Indies brains trust for you.

Shepherd may replace Chase in the 11

Unless it's a spinners' wicket.
