*Official* India in West indies 2023

there’s not many players in windies that can play long innings consistently. They’re mainly full of whackers
Here is the thing brother , if you are going to be called a whacker your Strike Rate should reflect that ..
It simply doesn't with this West Indies group ..
Whackers implies that you score quickly ..
Only Hetmyer and Athanaze have a SR above 90 in the top 6 ..

India in comparison has 5 players in their top 6 with a SR above 90 ...

The West Indies way seems to be to eat up a load of dot balls in 50 over cricket then go for a pressure release shot ..You can't bat like that anymore in ODI cricket , Windies are basically using Windows 95 software on a Windows 11 computer and hoping for the best .

He needs a run with a clear role. Let's see how he goes over 10 ODIs, for example.
Yeah, it should probably be a 3, 4, 5 of Hetmyer, Hope and Pooran for a run of games to see how that goes.

I think the 'A' tour of South Africa is immediately after the Super50 so hopefully there is some List-A cricket scheduled then as well to get a better look at some other options.

They should really consider Motie for all 3 formats. The guy can easily clear the ropes.
