Clearly I don't follow WIndies cricket so can those in the know tell me why Pooran has played a half dozen FC games by age 26? Too many L/O leagues? Or just not got the technique?

We have a very small pool of players and are missing two world class white ball batsmen in Lewis and Hety.
We can never put our best team out and that's ignoring the likes of Narine and Dre Russ.
Hence we are left with substandard batsmen.
We also haven't played domestic list a cricket for years now, so we have no body of evidence from which to select the replacements.

@SillyCowCorner1 should know the answer to this, he even umpired when he played in the youngsters.

Aged 19 he had a serious car crash which nearly ended his career. He decided to make $$$ quick and look after his family after that.
So he prioritised white ball cricket, became much sought after very quickly and never has time to play FC cricket.
I'm in the camp that would just get him to play tests anyway but our selectors don't tend to innovate much.

Other than one of the T20s against Ireland, Ferguson's been pretty expensive in these recent games. How's he been playing?

Great innings by Pooran, deserved a ton.

Pooran deserved a hundred there, changed the game inside out in no time. Enjoyed watching that even though it came against us. The pitch looks good for batting and we have a long lineup. We should get there but it'll be close I think. Definitely not going to be one sided this one

thundaboult summed it up well earlier, he's lacking his usual pace and direction also not there, quite concerning really.

Going to be interesting to see how Allen goes here - he hasn't got the pressure of building an innings after the top order has departed fairly cheaply and slowly. He'll be able to go for it - or will he try and play another mature innings and launch later on?

What a bizarre scorecard.
Santner has been going well lately which is nice.

Incredibly good shot from Alzarri there charging Boult 1st ball he faces and hitting it clean as a whistle for 6.

Pooran justifying the talent he has, he can be a world beater on his day...tearing up any bowling attack single-handedly. I can't believe that southee has been our best non-spin bowler this series. Unbelievable lol. Good to see that trent is getting back into the groove. Lockie has had a lot more games recently but seems to be degrading. Santner dependable as usual. Man alzarri is quickly becoming one of my favs lol. So much fun to watch.
Oh no...Allen gone. Man how is holder being so economical and getting all these wickets?? Bowls 120 and isn't moving the ball. Surely he's someone you smash out of the attack instead of getting out to?
