Sensible appointments in the circumstances. Rare for our selectors, though I don't think they had much choice.

Yes, Rovman is arguably the best captain in the region, Kraigg is second. Hope led well in the last Regional Super50

“Over 1,000 primary school boys and girls have already been exposed to ‘Five for Fun’ cricket training enabling them the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the game. From a cricket perspective, both CWI and GCB are excited about giving our children the opportunity to play and learn the game in fun, safe environments. From all feedback for coaches, teachers and some parents, the children are excited about the programme, and can’t wait to showcase their skills during the first stage of matches at the zonal preliminaries."

I'm still hoping for a couple of years high performance towards the end of his career. He will always be a limited legside player but it the right circumstances he could add a lot of value. His off side play is still glorious. Put it this way, I would much rather have him in the middle order than Reifer or Chase.

Really looking forward to that, I think it's a great idea. I just hope they show some foresight and invite Pooran and King to take part as well!"The new Headley Weekes Series will follow the West Indies Championship and will feature three matches and three teams.

What PEWS said plus Rakheem the dream at the other end causing madness so they felt under pressure against......Devon Thomas!
The only other thing I would say with more seriousness is that the harder Dukes ball in the Caribbean can swing round corners at certain periods of the day, particularly for medium pacers. It's why we are becoming like England over the decades, with a whole bunch of skillfull medium fast bowlers who flounder whenever we have to use the kooka. I didn't see that feed but it is possible then Thomas got the ball to move around.

In better news Alick Athanaze has backed up his pre South Africa form with an 80 and a 97. He would be a real breath of fresh air in our side of nurdlers and grinders. He will frustrate at times though playing one shot too many, but he does put bowlers under pressure and plays sweeps and reverse sweeps pretty well, which is rare for us. I think he should be in the side against India.

Kinda reminiscent of the Super50 match where Andre McCarthy wrecked havoc with the ball. I believe it was two years ago

Savory among the runs again in the second innings.
Is TT really this weak?

When did WI switch to the Dukes ball? WI haven't produced much in the way of worthwhile pace bowlers since Bishop.
In any case better pitches would mean it doesn't matter. The current Bridgetown pitch is an absolute disgrace.

International Vice-Captain
We switched in 2018. It's a harder version of the English dukes so it can last longer on our pitches.
That ball swings even more than the English dukes IMHO. It's enabled the likes of Holder, Roach and more recently Seales to dominate at home but it's a big reason why they look toothless away (though Seales is untested tbf).

WI failed to produce decent bowlers for a long time before that so I'd say it's not to blame.
