You have to wonder at them not batting Wes up the order. Actually I don’t wonder, they’ve got shit for brains.
Give the young man a fair long shot in a spot he feels secure in. If he fails 15 times in a row then reconsider.
He probably didn’t carry someone’s bag or something so was being taught respect. We are dealing with some of the most incompetent cricketing fucktards ever to mismanage the game. I hope management didn’t steal anything from the hotel...

The more I watch K-Long bat the more I cringe at his lack of technique. The guy can clearly bat, but is he really any better the Cephus or Coventry?
Lethal on their day and can flatten any attack when they get going, but against top quality bowlers with brains looks very very average.
Was Coventry that bad? I remember he smoked us for 194 not out once, the highest score in all ODIs at that time. It wasn't even all that long ago, but the game has moved so far that about 10 double tons have been scored since. Kinda crazy.
Coventry would be a solid number 8 in most ODI sides.
That Bangladesh side in 2009 was flat and the wicket was equally as flat

It's clear that there are those with agendas against BT. I'm not going to blame him for this loss. Yes, we needed to up the rate but this team is playing with zero confidence or desire, so upping the rate at leisure is not a simple thing for a team so out of form and confidence.

BT has done so much for this team and this game, and every time he tried to make it better, he was back stabbed, labelled racist and thrown to the wolves, and yet the demands on him are the highest.

It was clear this squad was going to struggle on this tour. We have picked players not up to standard, but will still picked again, and we have picked players who have no idea what is required of them. The coach has clearly had no effect on this team and to me, he is basically a puppet for others who call the shots.

Nothing will change unless the system, structure, and the board changes. We all know this, but everyone will focus on everything else except the things that need to be focussed on.
