That's not unique to Chase

Great players through rough times

Elites like Lara and Tendular, 11 and 14 respectively.

Ponting and Steve Smith 14,

Kholi 15

Sangakara 12 & Kallis 10

Mark Butcher 26

Chase is not in any one of these boyz leagues

Let's enjoy Chase's 194

Good that Chase finally had a good inning, he batted like he used to when he first came in the Test team and I think that was the difference, no reverse sweeps until he had a hundred very few lofted strokes. He now knows that he has to continue batting that way.

@Poggy

I take your point about the "great" players going rough patches but when ur NOT a great ur not afforded the same leeway of failure as the greats cos they've would have already banked enough performances or depending when it was in their careers shown enough potential to know they are worth persevering with ...as dey say form is temporary class is permanent.....Chase obviously is neither class or a great so whilst i under ur sentiments i dnt agree with it......fuh now Chase has done enough to help call off the dawgs....let's hope we dnt have to wait another 20 odd inns fuh the next half century or so!!

@CCW

bro right now I’m celebrating any win and this was a big one. Victory before tea on day four by a freaking innings and 200plus runs.

I’ve been wearing my old West Indies cap in the neighbourhood and this morning a young man said yuh really aren’t a football wagonist. You’ve been wearing yuh cap fi days and yuh win. I did laugh.

Absolutely overjoyed about the win too champ but surely had to respond to ppl comparing Chase's poor run of form with some of the greats!

@Chrissy

People like VOR mek yuh think critical thinking "ded" an' two different thoughts cannot be relevant at the same time. Prefer some consistent team 50's and a ton here n there than this big stuff then nutt'n. Let's hope the former occurs.

Based on the avg posted by 4Q and performance of the players on the team, Chase stayed as captain.
