Since the CPL moved to Barbados all the games have been low scoring. Poor pitches ate bad for cricket but absolutely kills T20s.

If the pitch is so poor, why did JAK and ABF knock off the runs so quickly. It is not a typical Kensington pitch but could it come down to either very good bowling or just poor shot selection. It shows us that our players are at sea to spin.

That pitch was absolutely fine.

The batting was atrocious - taking nothing away from the bowlers who were brilliant.

But this is so typical of batters in shits and giggles cricket who are like deer in headlights when they are asked to bat on a pitch which assists the bowlers a bit.

@imusic The only conclusion, is that, Ambrose should replace, Rampsul, as bowling coach.
