If you are batting first, bat out the full 20 overs

2nd rule :

Pick your best players

CWI has been experimenting for over 3 decades.

3rd rule:

Winning rubbers dont mean you are improving...

According to AI, WI batting first failed to survive the full 20 overs in 13 matches. 12 times they lost the game.

"Nice of the West Indies to turn up today to watch India bat."

I Hope Sammy is paying attention to this.

The only time WI won after not batting out the full 20 overs when they batted first was when Samuels won the match for them

First rule of T20 is make as much runs as you can.

All other rules…..see the first rule.

One would think that would be a clue for restructuring the team. We stick with players day in and day out that do not seem to be improving their game.

It is time to take a look from top to bottom and pick guys that do not fail as often as some here do.

Should Chase be playing all three formats of this game?

Also our bowlers really need to find a way to improve. Too many short balls, too many wides, too many no-balls resulting in free-hits.

After all these games and practice matches one would think that this team would be further along.

So the question that begs to be answered, are they good enough? We have seen flashes of brilliance, which suggest yes, however, their inconsistency boggles the mind!

@natty_Ssmmy Will always learn the hard way.

Selecting the passenger, Roveman Powell, is like, playing with 10 men. for over 4yrs, he have been failing.

there is no rhyme or reason, for including. him, in a regional team.

Chase is a Sammy “friend”. Perhaps even more than that. Maybe a “son”
