International Debutant
Wanindu has been introduced. Guess wickets are gonna fall at regular interval from now on.
He came into the white ball teams on the back of a decent CPL performance. Some of the main guys opt out of this tour and Sammy had no hesitation picking him again.Pristine hitting from these two. How did Lewis playing for West Indies again come about?
His mentality and play against spin was particularly impressive here. I know this is a pipe dream, but our full strength, no down bad T20 omissions ODI batting lineup could be pretty damn strong...Sherfane with 4 half-centuries in 6 innings in his start to ODI cricket. I think he showed that he can play different roles according to the match situation. That’s gold for us going forward.
With the ‘main’ guys not wanting to go on these tours, it opens up opportunities for those who are hungry to get back and make a statement. I have to admit Lewis over Alick is a comparison where the former is a behemoth.His mentality and play against spin was particularly impressive here. I know this is a pipe dream, but our full strength, no down bad T20 omissions ODI batting lineup could be pretty damn strong...

The bowling is still weak, particularly that last seamer slot. We need Shamar to come good. Let's see what they come up with for England and if Pooran, Hety and Akheil make themselves available.
Sometimes the odds aren’t in our favor; it’s just cricket man.On another note, is it just me that finds these ODIs and T20 day/night matches in parts of the world with significant dew, hard to get enthusiastic about?
All but one match in this series was won by the chasing side. The conditions are completely different when the outfield is wetter and the ball skids on. It's almost like playing an ODI on two different wickets. It's not a fair contest.
