Top 5 reasons why West Indies bowed out of the Champions Trophy

2. The failure of Impact players

Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard were perhaps the biggest assets in this team. They could contribute to the team with the bat and the ball. Their effectivity however was greatly curtailed by the fact that the top order could not set-up a platform for them to capitalize upon as they are mainly lower order slog-overs batsmen. They can provide the last 100 runs to a team that has 200 on the board in 40 overs. Kieron Pollard was forced to bat against India and South Africa in circumstances that demanded rebuilding and looked out of sorts. On the other hand, Dwayne bravo seemed overwhelmed with the burden of captaincy and greatly under-utilized himself.
