Good knock in testing conditions early on. Seriously clean hitter of the ball!
Behardhien continues to steal a living at number 7. Really has no internaional quality. Mclaren could probably bat better than him.

West indies is a strange odi said in terms of batting personal. 

Ignore the absence of pollard and bravo (there maybe evidence for dropping pollard.  But in 2014 bravo was head and shoulder and above rest. And look at what's picked.


Ramdin imo is batting to high. 6 at most. Probably a 7. Definately not a top 5.

Sammy at 7. Seems to bowl very little sometimes not at all. So he's being picked as a batsmen. A good hitter who can win a game. But is he really in the top 6/7 batsmen available?

Gayle.  Great to watch. And a must in t20. But in the linger format, does his inability to run not put pressure on everyone else in the team??

Smilley you've fired up Darren Sammy now! Bowled well today and batted very well for his 50.
But all jokes aside WI have too many 'all rounders'. Russell just isn't good enough. Surprisingly Chanderpaul isn't considered as he's a liability in the field. Yet guys like Gayle and Benn are dreadful in the field. Obviously Darren Bravo will add something at #3 when he returns.

Agreed!

When I played against Russell in league cricket, he's obviously a good cricketer but an international he certainly isn't!

Russell's probably been West Indies best player this series. Probably shows how poor the rest have been.
Russell keeping them in this one.

How costly will that drop be. Don't see AB drop many.

Interesting with the ball reversing so much. Haven't seen it go this much in ages.
Faf must have been on it ;).

What a knock by Russell!

Never seen a white ball swing around as much as the last 10 overs. Andre Russell did it in style though!

Another 100 for Rossowu, surely has to be picked in the final 11 for the WC. Should replace beharadein at 7.
