Let the bowlers bat first - TRINIDADDY - 03-02-2014
[size=18pt]Our top order needs to bat after the bowlers.
Edwards, Darren, Samuels, Gayle, Powell and Charles cant make runs consistently.

Haha!! ... Ottiss' bowling coaching skills turning the bowlers into batsmen ??
He now needs to work on the bowling skills of the top order .... ;D

Might as well play an XI of bowlers then
I sometimes wonder though, captains even make bizarre and funny moves like letting keepers bowl - but not this. I can't think of any time when this has been tried out. Of course there's the famous Bradman tactic of reversing the order, using bowlers as a front to get through the tough phase. I guess that kind of move is moot now with covered pitches and all that.

I told you the top order needed protection. Batting the bowlers first woulda given us 50 quick runs in the first 6 overs.
