King showing lack of...

Understanding of batting especially given the state of the game.

A new moving ball and batting as if it's an ODI, driving through the line

Well, it works in white ball cricket

He is an example of Sammy's failed white ball to red ball player conversion attempt

Averaging 27 with a HS of 75

hmmm...not exactly great is it..?

And his average is one of the better ones in the West Indian top order 😁

Go figure. Sad state of affairs. To me, the Yaadies have a concentration and game awareness weakness.

You had yo make it about Sammy.

Who are the alternatives?

By and large though in recent past, only occasionally, Campbell shows that he can build an innings.

Please don't crucify me for saying so

it was disappointing that King could not have survived the afternoon. After all, it was classic test match strategy by Lanka so our guys should have been prepared for it. But then he is not very experienced and so can possibly be excused. An average of 27 is on the high side for the WI right now but hopefully that will not be for too long. He must realise that the wunderkind Auguste is probably breathing down his neck

@Baje

King has been failing in every aspect of the game, for least 5 yrs.

Nepotism, by the CEO, is forcing, a has been, on the team.

@PalsofMine

King has been a total failure, in every format. a years.

Time to kick the passenger, off the bus.

@Edrich

Nepotisim is forcing a never was to be head coach and chief selector in all formats

@Edrich

a little harsh I think. He does have 3 half centuries in his short career and also is opening which may not be his natural position in red ball cricket. He still has a chance to get his average up into the 30s before he stagnates

Were Hope and Chase not part of that too?
