Very nice to watch bat

@Poggy

He can bat, bowl and field: a true allrounder, not bits n pieces. Surprising that Barbados neglected him, well to the benefit of the Leewards.

Carl Hooper is one of all-time favorite batsmen to watch but he so often gave it away so easily..

yes, definitely a page Colton Hoop

@Poggy

As talented a batsman that I've ever seen an should have been Guyana's greatest ever but sadly his application an mental capacity was equivalent to some of them on show here ...hence mid 30's ave!!
