5. Johnson Charles

The opening batsman has had his share of failures in the recent past but he has managed to show sparks of brilliance. He has the ability to apply himself in hostile situations in spite of his natural aggressive instinct.

His partner Chris Gayle suffers from a similar problem but made, perhaps, of a greater magnitude due to his extremely poor run of form. His last knock of significance came in the first match of the Tri-Nation series.

Charles has the ability to wither the first few overs and playing the maximum deliveries with a straight bat holds him in good stead. The flaw in his technique is that he is not designed for gradual accumulation of runs as is required in the middle overs.
