What they said:
"It's nice to see him (Bracewell) back from injury, the knee's recovering nicely. His batting's been coming along really well for quite some time. I suppose from six to eight is where he'll be looking to bat." - Kane Williamson, New Zealand captain.
"We can't dwell on the past. The test series has gone and there are guys here who hadn't played in the test series. It's a chance to get a new set of guys in, refocus and regroup." - Jason Holder, Windies captain.

Cricket: Black Caps not stressing the inclusion of Chris Gayle to West Indies ODI squad
Chris Gayle brings some added firepower, but the Black Caps have plans in place to stamp him out, batsman Tom Latham says.
After being decimated by the Black Caps in their two-match test series earlier in the month, the West Indies will get a boost to their lineup with the self-professed 'World Boss' suiting up for their one-day international (ODI) and Twenty20 matches.
"We know what a quality player he is and how much of a threat he can be when he gets going so hopefully we can bowl well to him early on," Latham said.

The last time Windies won any sort of One-Day International (ODI) series was way back in 2014, when they beat Bangladesh, and hence, deservedly find themselves battling for a spot in the 2019 World Cup.

The tail is being exposed a bit too early.
A bowler in this side should be replaced by a batsman.

Why is Ashley Nurse on any International team, the dude is not up to International standards.
He should even be playing for the Pride or Trident.
I really don't get it.

Wiliams is a poor fielder to put in the covers and WI bowlers still have the length and direction problem for 6 balls.

Has Beaton played any cricket since the last PCL?
This team is a couple of batsman short, a spinner and a batting all-rounder.

Williams only bowled five overs. We have one bowler too many on this team. We needed another batsman. Maybe Walton.
