Sammy killing us with his selections . Jangoo should have played in all the matches

He only came in because of injury

Great to see the youngsters so captivated by the game.

Well played to the team. Great fighting spirit.

@voiceofreason

There are no points awarded for fighting

We lost

Most out batsmen were shite

Our coach is shite

That depends on who is the selector and the coach.

We will probably lose the series 4 to 1 and voiceofnoreason will say we won

Rubbish cricket by the wi again and again

@voiceofreason

Me too! Luv the part when one of them was praying 'please let us win.' I think that's what I read from his lips. 😎

@BeatDball

Yes true that. Them youths were into that game. That dropped catch and the crowd reaction...Timeless.

@pariaman

You do now that series wins are just about bragging rights, right? If we win the next game we close the gap on Bangladesh to 5 points. Winning games are more crucial for qualification. I think they need to adjust the points to allow for more points for a series win.

Sammy needs to take more chances with newer players who perform at regional level

I think the attempt to make t20 players into test and odi players have failed

Forget about Ackerm,Rutherford,King,Chase as longer format players and start gradually bringing in the top performers at regional long format level

@pariaman

Who are these "newer" players?

We have been trying regional performers for decades with little success. It's worth trying something different. Simply put we do not play enough quality cricket at that level to make a proper assessment of players.

Sammy got this right: Greaves, Chase, Hope have all scored centuries. Last test Cycle 2 centuries with regional performers, this test Cycle 9.

@voiceofreason

Keep Hope and Greaves . All the others I mentioned did not perform. Chase was just lucky a one off an aberration

Jangoo and DE Silva deserve and extended run

Ackeem needs to dress back and perform regionally

Same for those I mentioned
