WI is 55 short of par. Spin won't do any trick against Bangla.

This has been a remarkable fielding performance. I have never seen so many elementary fielding mistakes. Dowrich alone is responsible for the loss of 15/20 runs!
Nurse bowling 6 overs at a run a ball on this surface is so poor also. Chase looks so much better. We really have to sort that spinning slot out.

I'd swap Pooran for Bravo. I'd also have Hope opening but Lewis must play.

Agreed. He either has to play like he does in T20s and smash the spinners or he has to go. He seems to play with do much fear of getting out.
Still, well done Bangladesh, I thought their spinners were as excellent as usual and the batsman played very sensibly.
Our bowling was a bit worrying. I expect the batting to struggle as we're missing most of our first choice lineup, but apart from Oshane Thomas, that was most of our first choice bowling line up.
The spinners create no pressure at all and don't take wickets. It's a huge problem.

WI clearly have better options than him. Just get Campbell in there.

I genuinely think our batting is pretty much sorted and in spite of today, we have decent seam bowling options and lots of pace to use in the middle overs.
We've even run much better between the wickets in this series, which is great to see (admittedly Gayle isn't here and his running won't improve).
The big weaknesses left are spin bowling and Holder's captaincy which lacks innovation.

Cornwall is the answer to spin problem

Completely agree. Alas it seems unlikely to happen.

Nope. Averaged 116.20 (!!!) with the ball in his last run in the ODI team.

We really have had some dross spinners in ODI's over the last 4/5 years. We've never managed to replace Narine. On the subject of Cornwall, here is some good news. Looks like he will be selected for the India tour if he does meet some fitness goals.
Not that it will matter because they have scheduled the India tour during the peak of wet season. Smart!
