Feel like this series is some remnant from the days when WI was strong enough to compete..

If Behardien is your specialist no. 6, then your lower middle-order has a lot to worry about. He has the batting of a no. 7 and a bowling of a 6th bowler. In other words, he doesn't deserve to be in the team. I'd have a specialist batsman in his place. Even today SA weren't doing too badly when Behardien came to the crease.

Behardien, Wiese and Morris where originally fighting for spots.... Morris has become the first choice 7 but with Faf injured we have no other batting cover, except Parnell who would have been better. Behardien dibbly dobblers may do well on this pitch, though. But not enough runs unless WI implode.

I hope they use Rossouw at no. 6 when Faf is fit. Duminy can be used as 6th bowler. You can't have a no. 6 who doesn't have both a holding game and an attacking game. It's a very important position for ODIs and a hack like Behardien is misfit there because his holding game is crap and his attacking game is not of International standard at all.

The problem was Duminy's bowling went totally of the boil so they tried to fit in an extra all-rounder top 6/7 (before Morris got his chance)... regardless, when Faf is fit Rillee should play 5/6 with Duminy occupying other spot..

rossouw should not play because he has a stupid name
parnell should not play if he still has the man bun
i should not be a selector because i pick players on factors completely irrelevant to cricketing ability

pollard takes the windies' run rate from below three to three and a half in literally two shots

He is using his changed action. Speeds are much slower; but he's troubling the batsmen on these pitches with all the different variations.
