Yes. All this crap about his sr when its literally Hope or Bust. He has no choice but to play cautiously.
Greenidge himself played at the samerate as hope anyways. + Hope is a keeper and wi doesnt have someone highly exceptional to fulfill that.
Edit: hope has a great record at 4

I can defend Shai Hope on his strike rate , with a such a fragile batting line up he probably has felt he has to bat through the innings to get West Indies to reasonable scores ..
Since he moved down the order he has shown he can score quickly , this year he has scored 623 runs at a SR of 96 .

It would be understandable if he had a strike rate of ~80 or so but it's well below par. Since 2016 the average SRb for top 4 batsmen is 83. Hope's strike rate of 77 is unacceptably slow, even allowing for the fact that he's batting in a poor side.
He's made improvements recently, I agree, but I'll have to see more of him against good sides to get behind him.

No Windies Keeper comes even close to his record with the bat ..

And Hope's played less than 7, yet you're batting him at #4 over Viv ****ing Richards

Hope is an underrated gem of a player and high quality in ODIs but unfortunately this is less of an overlooking (and he is often overlooked) and more of a struggle to break into arguably the best all time ODI side (Australia takes the crown imo but the WI have an incredible one also).

He does have a hope to get in as a keeper over Dujon.

Sarwan and Hope are better than Hooper as bats but Hooper is unfortunately the best spinner for them. Also, a good hitter who can bowl 6-7 overs easily should play at 7. Either DJ Bravo or Russell. Also, a spinner is required in any team.

Hooper to move up in case of a collapse.

Good side buddy ..I think Gayle and Viv have close to 300 ODI wickets between them with their off spin ..
I would include a master blaster/luxury player at No.7 in place of Hooper ...Someone like a Nicholas Pooran or Andre Russell
