He did it in 47 and the great Viv did it in 48. Wow. That is a big one.

Early days yet but the comparison ends right there.

He also has a higher average than Viv.

A better conversion ratio.

Why does Hope make more runs in 50 over cricket versus test cricket?

IMO, I think the psychological scars of failing so miserably in the beginning of his test career has made him very cautious in test cricket.

On the other hand, his ODI successes have made him more expressive. Batting is an art with great openings for free expression.

The mental aspect of West Indies cricket is lacking.

We have a team that can compete if they get their heads straight.
