Andre Fletcher is one of a crop of young batsmen West Indies have tested recently by throwing them into international cricket without vast first-class experience. A top-order batsman with a solid technique, Fletcher showed promising signs in his initial international appearances but a lack of awareness of what was happening in the field around him was a problem and cost him his wicket more than once.
But boy did he play today against the Aussies in the ICC World Twenty20. True Gayle was going hammer and tongs, especially after Brett Lee, Andre Fletcher played a fine hand. West Indies is known for batting collapses, but Fletcher’s innings ensured that nothing of that sort happened. By the time he departed for 53 (32b 7×4 1×6) the game was pretty much over. Now if Australia loose to Sri Lanka as well they will be out of the tournament.
Both sides playing in the Ashes this year on the verge of 1st round exit from the ICC World Twenty20, a case of focusing too much on the Ashes?
