Simmons came back in the team with a bang and played a good hand yesterday. I like how he was hitting the ball ...
Simmon has to raise his batting average, low 20s in ODIs is not good enough for an opener or specialist batsman.

Simmons averaging 50 in this ODI series and WI leading run scorer with 3 fifties. So, if he continues with this form ,I'm sure he will stick around in the team.

Mister cricket yu mus' be young! is dat wat you call 'batting like Bradman'?
batting like Bradman wud be never to throw your wicket away under any circumstances...dat when you reach fifty and seventy you redouble your focus and go on...and on and on and on and on
if it was Bradman batting deh he wud score the whole 223 and be looking for more at the end, at the victory.
I like wat simmons has done but not totally.
at 27 years of age simmons shud have a much more mature approach to his cricket that wud feature a level of professionalism dat had already eliminated those mistakes he is prone to when he reaches a point from which he shud have gone orn to register ton.
the way he threw his wicket away yesterday was silly indeed. no way can I appreciate dat
3 times he had tons in his sights and probalbe westindian victories but threw dem all away with stupid, uncalled for shots

exactly! and to do that he must exhibit a greater level of professionalism in his approach at the crease.
