He was lucky to have played today. And he’s struggled to deliver every single time.


open the batting with forde and play both akeal and chase

@brians_da_best

who is better in the camp? maybe if Athanaze or Ausguste was there.

This pitch is tailor-made for Johnson Charles.


WI missed a trick in not play Johnno ahead of King forvthis game

@InHindsight

Thats where we went wrong?



Look at the bowling in the power play


176 should have been enough


I think you have to change your handle


You no even seeing in hind sight

@brians_da_best

are you willing to replace King with Hosein

Thu, Feb 26, '26 at 8:18 AM

Ironically despite my other thread on Johhno I'd likely play King over Charles in the next game.


Firstly the Indian spinners would better suit King's game


Still I will not agree that King is out of form. I view is that it simply a matter of role clarity and assignment.


Throughout this WC rightly, he needed to have played ahead of JC. The role assignment to me, is outside of King's game at the moment.


It is unfortunate that Auguste was injured leading into this WC

King was the 3rd top scorer. Given the SA reliance on pace i dont see how you could have left him out. King was not the problem today

@Logic


King is unable to play his role. That needs to be tweaked slightly. It's NOT a matter of form

Thu, Feb 26, '26 at 8:57 AM

@InHindsight

yup agreed.

Given this SA, I would have him ahead of King.

Not India though ... back to King

@pariaman


176 was not enough on that pitch Dude. Quit while you are behind. Akeal would have made little difference.

These are things we should have tried in the dead rubber but some were saying no no no changes!


Johnson Charles for Brandon King. Yes he is past his sell date but he can do no worse than Brandon.
