Excellent question Googs... I'm not too impress with what I'm seeing so far

Permaul and Cottoy need to mek dis game lil competitive by hook or crook...107/7 off 33

them just have to bat out the overs for starters... The runs will come but don't see them getting passed 200

Just looking at the top order reveals the problem, THE TOP ORDER ONLY HAS THREE PROPER BATTERS, for a start they are missing Powell which is a problem..and they are playing Thomas instead of Creary for some odd reason, lets look at the team today..

Chandrika (ok decent opener)
Corbin (usually comes in at three, talented batter)
Thomas (wicket keeper who's batting was garbage for WI at the world cup)
Bonner (a bowling alrounder)
Brooks (decent batter)
Dowrich (wicket-keeper)
Holder (bowler who can bat a little)
Gabriel (not a batter or any note)
Cottoy (ok with the bat i hear)
Permaul (he's ok aswell but nothing special)
Bess (nothing special)

So is it any wonder that they've found it tough today? i hope the next batch is much more balanced, you can't have just have three batters and expect to win many matches.

Idiotic team selection, IMHO....

The squad has Andre Creary, and they omitted him. Creary last batted at five for the WI A team. So, if this is the XI that the coach put out, it just makes no sense....

Most of the best young batters aren't even in the HPC, so don't get your knickers in the twist just yet!! .
