Their first blunder was omitting Looknauth whom took 6 wickets in the last match and batted pretty well in the tournament… Why they’re persisting with Permaul is beyond comprehension knowing he will never get back the WI team and the process undermining promising young talent… And Dropping Lewis early in his inning, whom went on to score a ton and making Seales looks like a top order batsman didn’t help…

Guyana lost their advantage in the match on the first day when both Joseph and Paul cramped up around the same time forcing Imlach to bowl the spinners on a pitch that was more favorable to pace. At that time Trinidad was around 105/6. However, the last wicket stand between Phillip and Seales turned out to be the difference in the match. the Guyanese may have erred in leaving out Looknauth

@Cricket_101

So, which is it, weak captaincy or weak team?

@natty_forever

Both things can be true

Both... Holistically bad decisions... Am almost sure he's some input in team selection...

@pariaman

I disagree with both. Imlach is right now probably the best captain in the West Indies. Once he straightens out his batting he will be a West Indies captain and a stalwart on the team.

Guyana team is a good team, somebody has to lose that does not make them a weak team.

Guyana needs to find a #3 batter, Imlach should not bat at that position after kneeling and bending for hours wicket-keeping. However, he is an okay captain, no other present captain in the region has his good record in wins of championships

Not bringing in the spinners to wrap up the tail at the end of the Red Force second innings before close of play on the third day was criminal

The commies were wondering whats up with that!

Reality is that was a very poor decision

GHE was out captained during that last match

@dayne

I agree with Pariaman that not using the spinners was a poor decision but he caught up fighting fire with fire
