Who was the dunce who dropped Akeal Hosein so Chase could play?
Was it the captain or the Sole selector who made this foolish call?

Oh I see. it was "tactical reasons" because the person who made the call felt that the left handed Saffie batsmen will have problems playing the off spin of Chase.
Chase bowled 4 overs for 46 runs and got 1 wicket....

how much wickets did anyone else get? Hosein just got caned in SA before the world cup. It was a fair decision

@methodic
Hosein was not bowled in the power play in SA
Also India is not South Africa
Finally in all the games so far in the WC Hosein has been on point
That is why the decision was dotish

Bro this is not Roston of the past.This Chase just bowls. Doesn't bowl off-spin, doesn't grip the ball tight, doesn't spin it. Just turns his arm over. He bowls Slow Right Arm. 😃And it is not like SLA which at least turns.😃. His doesn't drift, hang nor turn anymore
